This #MilitaryColorGuard of @floridageorgiamarines

This #MilitaryColorGuard of @floridageorgiamarines ⭐⭐looks good except for just a couple of issues.

❌The female blouse MUST be tucked into the trousers for colors. MCO 5060.20. ❌The silk MUST be gathered under the right arm between the arm and staff when are Order and Parade Rest. ❌Chin straps, not #ThroatStraps. ❌Slings are required for the rifles. ❌Bearer left hands MUST be on the harness sockets!

Wow! #TheDrillMasterIsImpressed

⭐What timing! ⭐Guard arms and grips!

The only thing that does not conform to MCO 5060.20 is that they are ❌marching shoulder-to-shoulder. Close Interval only.

Suggestions: 👉Org bearer's socket should be much higher. There is no "standard measurement" for the socket below the belt as long as it's below. The MCO does say the national socket can be minimally higher, but only if necessary. That means both sockets are supposed to be adjusted. 👉Org bearer's grip should be just like national's.

⭐All correct equipment except❗the DrillAmerica 1903s. I love the look, it's very appropriate and works very well. However, you're only supposed to use a rifle on your unit's table of allowance. Unfortunately...

⭐⭐⭐Still, great looking team. You can see the education, training, and effort put forth to keep the honor and dignity of the colors alive. Well done, Marines!

What we don't see: Marines not doing the job for the positions to which they were assigned.

What this post won't receive: whining and crying from people making excuses as to why these Marines are doing a great job.

It's possible that the US and Army Departmental colors are on 9'6" staffs and the unit colors of @1bctbastogne on an 8' staff. The wind on a flightline is always fun to deal with.

All flagstaffs must be the same length. All colors must be as close to the same dimensions as possible which, in the case of just military flags, is easy to accomplish.

Don't mix staff types or lengths notlr colors sizes.

Marine Corps beats Army in this one.

The color guard of @mcagcc29palms is doing well here. It does need some work: ❌Left rifle guard's left arm is sagging, ❌grip is loose, and the team should be marching at ❌Close Interval. Everything else is ⭐⭐⭐.

Army: ❌you also need to march at Close Interval, ❌left guard is required to be at Right Shoulder, ❌bearer left hands must be on the staff at the socket, and ❌sockets could have been much closer to the same level. Everything else: ⭐⭐

@leesheriff - The flags I get, the kids are in a uniform, but thd books don't add up. Thd left guard is holding a Greek mythology book? I've seen many different items held by guards and each one has made sense when taken into context. For me, this doesn't make sense.

👉US, GK (Greek), and FL. This is for a Greek Orthodox church. This is a LEO Explorer post.

Did you know that Panama has escorts, what America

Did you know that Panama has escorts, what Americans would probably call drill teams. While they are not msrching and creating different formations like we are used to, they march in parades and entertain the audience in a more traditional way.

Escolta means shooting guard in English, but I think armed guard would be better. The teams are separated between male and female with the makes armed with rifles and swords or carrying flags. The female teams wear beautiful uniforms/costumes and have a variety of items they hold and use as they (mostly) dance in different formations. Some teams are mixed and have wonderful historic costumes, dancers, a marching band, and more.

❤️❤️❤️They are fun and entertaining!

Yes, you can split a color guard, the guards are supposed to be on the outside though.

This is a TOUGH decision! Or is it? What do you do

This is a TOUGH decision! Or is it? What do you do when the commander of the team shorter or has a waist level that is lower than another color bearer and you follow the MCO (kinda) and wear the harness under the web belt in this uniform combination?

Answer: you AVOID this uniform combination like the plague. Because no #HarnessSocketCrotchSyndrome There is no reason to carry the national lower than another flag. None.

I also suggest getting rid of this type of harness since both ends of the shoulder straps attach to the socket frame.

🤔Something is missing... The Space Force flag, that's right. ❌Flags out of order. ❌Different staffs. ❌US doesn't have fringe.

Color guard of @123airliftwing of the Kentucky Air

Color guard of @123airliftwing of the Kentucky Air National Guard.

BHGs are hurting for people, funds, time. This leads to hurried and incomplete training that is usually based on not reading the manual (the 2021 version should be on E-pubs one day...) and only relying what the NCOIC THINKS he/she remembers.

❌Right rifle guard, that flared right hand doesnt even meet the standards of firing party. Wrapped fingers are traditional and required. ❌Slng clasps and keepers not positioned correctly. ❌Left (and right) rifle guard, tighten your silver chin strap. ❌Your left hand is also too high on the hand guard. ❌The shaker knot on your aiguillette is not sewn/pinned. ❌The shoulder pin is showing. ❌The cord is not pulled down to conform to your shoulder. ❌NCT, take off those ribbons and badge(s).

If the American flag is higher, I think it is, the flags are not in the correct order. Flags radiate from the center. First position is on the flag's right, then left and back and forth in that order.

It's quite rare to see the USMC flag. It's only authorized to units that do not rate an organizational for whatever reason that may be.

Here a color guard of the @USMCRESERVE (MARFORRES) presents the colors for #MardiGras 2023.

❌No cord and tassels, that I can see, on the org. ⭐Correct staffs and flags. ❌It's a chin strap, not #ThroatStraps, org bearer. ❌Org is also at Ready Two, left hand at the socket, a ceremonial position and not authorized for regulation drill colors.

Guards, remedial training is needed. ❌Rifles must be vertical and 4" from the breastbone. ⭐Excellent right hand, right rifle guard. ❌Left rifle guard, not even close. ⭐Excellent place of left hand, left guard. ❌Right guard, too high. ❌MC colors march and stand at Close Interval only.

⭐Very good socket level, could have been closer to equal. ⭐National bearer, good technique.

CAP authorizes a senior member to fill in as a las

CAP authorizes a senior member to fill in as a last resort. This does not appear to be a last resort, there are three cadets and the team could have presented the US with Teo guards. However, it's possible the the org bearer does not know guard procedures especially since the team is communicating that they know almost nothing of the requirements to present the colors properly. ❌The senior member needs to be in the same uniform, just in case.

Two MAJOR problems here:

1️⃣❌The US is in the inferior position. Unacceptable.

2️⃣❌The org bearer is carrying the flag of the Salvation Army. Also absolutely unacceptable. US military cannot carry any private organization's flag. That includes all cadet organizations.

👉My advice has been to NEVER carry any flags other than your own since your unit's flags adhere to standards...

❌Flags are too large for the staffs. ❌Neither hand flares at Present. ❌Feet. ❌Org bearer left arm. ❌The cadets are not in the uniform.

Ah, the 101st at it again. The @rakkasans are departing Romania, so they cased their colors without providing guards, you know, like a color guard is supposed to have.

Still bou.....

It looks like 10th Mountain Division took over and added a Romain Soldier to their team. That's not covered in any of our manuals that I know of and is up to the discretion of the commander - it's a really good opportunity to strengthen ties at a personal level.

Well, my service is bringing back the "Elite Gate Guards". Space Force is creating the positions right now too. It's been at least two decades since these uniforms were worn.

👉Do you know why Base Honor Guard members looked exactly like this (without the duty belt and sidearm)? Because the AF Honor Guard was originally all Air Police. That's why AF cops who knew nothing of history would get angry with Airmen of my time and before. We didn't "earn" the beret. We sure did, bucko!
