Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 They kinda look like the Rockettes but with rifles and smoking a little weed. And the high school pep band playing backup... Here's what you call a real drill team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 That first group would do well at a sports event, sitting in the stands. Now those gyreens are in a whole different class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Well, that was different! Made me think of this one. I'm sure it's been posted before, but still worth a look: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Ah, yes. The Intimidating Kick-Step, and the Threatening Head Shake. This one left out the almost always fatal Aggressive Shoulder Sling Adjustment, though. That is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Oh, those sea school Marines! But they didn't do a Queen Ann salute. Always like to watch that one. And they did it using M-1 Rifles. Try that with an M-16 Mattel Special! We had an Air Force ROTC cadet drill team, which participated in a number of drill competitions. Did okay, although the Army ROTC Pershing Rifles usually came in first. One time, during practice, they were doing that business where they throw the rifle from the first rank to the rear rank. Unbeknowst to one of the cadets, they threw in a wooden dummy that was a lot lighter than the M-1's they were using. The guy that was supposed to catch the thrown rifle was, of course, prepared to catch a 9.8 lb M-1, and his muscle memory was attuned to same. When he caught the dummy, it went right straight up in the air about 5 feet! We all got a big laugh out of that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Although I would never had reached that level, It brought some memories back. I guess I am a baaaad soldier. I have forgotten the General Orders. But 1958 was a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
