Ex-recruits say Lackland trainer abused them
The San Antonio Express-News reports:
Defense attorneys have said former Air Force instructor Staff Sgt. Annamarie Ellis was hard on her recruits but got results.
But trainees from Ellis’ flights who took the stand Wednesday in a trial that could land her in prison saw it differently.
They described her as foul-mouthed, combative, controlling and abusive. Instead of breaking them down and turning them into airmen as she was charged to do, they said, Ellis demoralized them.
