When you start to analyze movement, you look for variations of techniques (simple to complex) to be able to better understand the process of how long it must take to go from learning how to march to advancing to such a high level of excellence in such a large formation.

Across the USAF and USSF you will see "No Hat No S

Across the USAF and USSF you will see "No Hat No Salute" areas. So many get this wrong. Here's what's supposed to happen. This area is just outside of a base chow hall (OK, dining facility). When you get your meal, can walk outside without your hat and no be concerned with rendering a salute while holding your tray and eventually eating your meal. You can move around within this area without a cover or saluting. It's meant to be a more relaxed atmosphere for your meal.

Same goes for in between buildings (when I worked AFSOC on Kadena, our two building for maintenance were separated by 40 or so feet). You can walk between buildings during the work day and not have to constantly carry your hat.

❌What it doesn't mean: as soon as you meet the magical line drawn between buildings or on the sidewalk, you immediately remove your cover when coming from outside or you walk from the building and place your cover at that magic line.

👉If the area does not apply to you (you don't yet have your meal, you are first getting to work, or leaving for for lunch or at the end of the day), you wear your cover and render a salute to anyone who is in the same position as you who requires that salute.

Many years ago everyone in the military who was armed with a rifle executed Rifle Salutes (second photo, FM 22-5, 1968) as an individual who was not in formation depending on the position of the rifle. When the 1970s came along the Army did away with the Rifle Salutes for all the service weapons (M1, M1903, M16) except for the M14, which doesn't make sense (the description of the rifle salute at either shoulder is still there). The third photo shows that the Air Force which had a complete copy of the rifle manual from the Marine Corps in the early 1950s but that was cut in 1960 (because generally, the AF doesn't drill with rifles).

The Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard still use rifle salutes (last two photos, 1956 & 2006, respectively). The Army (and therefore the AF & SF) relies on Present even as an individual not in formation as shown here in the first photo of a Sentinel while he passes in front of the #tomboftheunknownsoldier while off the mat. Most likely the guard change will be the less formal and more expedient version in front of the box at the right of the tomb.

When @mattpdrill and I spent four months in Qatar

When @mattpdrill and I spent four months in Qatar teaching American #exhibitiondrill we reached this point on this day in 2019. This was a full rehearsal for everyone involved at the Police College and Police Training Institute. Here was our portion of the rehearsal parade. Lots of rewriting of the drill and rifle work over the previous three months. It was almost time for the National Day Parade. By the time the parade was finished, the men had a very good performance. All of this was accomplished by about 40 recruits and another 40 band members. The numbers slimmed down by the final performance, but they all did very well.

The BHG of @192wing VA Air National Guard. Lack of attention to detail during training elicits a substandard performance. ⭐While another photo of the bearers shows a good #AnglePort - the team still has much to fix. ❌Belts keepers are all over the place. ❌AF bearer's silver chin strap is not grounded. That's a Wingman issue. You are a team, pay attention to each other. ❌They're called chin straps for a reason, Airmen, not #ThroatStraps ❌US bearer, your color is not tucked. ❌Gloves? ❌Tuck your left thumb. ❌AF bearer, your fringe is facing left at the top and you have the silk wrapped to the right. Your fringe should be facing to the rear when the silk is mounted correctly on the flat side of the spade and not the edge. However, start correctly and don't wrap the silk. ❌Bearers are wearing ribbons and badges. ❌Trail guard, your left hand is too high and your wrist is bent as if the palm of your hand is a shelf on which the rifle rests. 👉❌Team, you never should have presented at Port. You are in a hangar and have more than enough headroom to present at Right Shoulder. ⭐Good left hand placement. ⭐Correct equipment.

The opening scene of the TV show, Gomer Pyle, USMC

The opening scene of the TV show, Gomer Pyle, USMC (1964-1969), showed a color guard marching under an arch (I don't know what base). What do you notice about the color guard? 👉Both guards at Right Shoulder, allowing the team to swing their arms, and the staffs are held at a slight angle forward.

#DrillAndCeremoniesHistory

😲We all used to march the same. Everyone marched obliques, color guards looked the same, and more. What happened? A push for uniqueness probably based on one-upmanship. For drill and ceremonies, small changes began in the late 1950s with the USAF putting out its first D&C manual (1953) that took a little from the Army and a little from the Marine Corps. Although, what we took from the Corps was altered a bit (Forward after a column). The other services then got to work with their own uniqueness.

⏩Fast forward to today and it gets worse: the Army & AF D&C manuals are much less accurate with cartoon drawings and bad information than they used to be and the MCO rewrite removed Column of Files and showed horrid posture changes for a sword salute among other things.

⚠️Add on to that the fact that every cadet organization has now created a D&C cadet guide that fails miserably in achieving its goal. These guides have no basis in reality without referring to the original manual nor taking history into account. Every. Single. Cadet. Guide.

All kinds of things wrong here actually, #EverythingIsWrongStartOver - truly everything. However, I'm posting this with an emphasis on the organizational flag. That's the Salvation Army flag with the Salvation Army finial.

Military members in or out of uniform CANNOT carry non-governmental flags. This extends to cadets of all programs. As long as you are in any type of US military service uniform or even representing your cadet program, you also CANNOT carry that private organization's flag. Doing so communicates that the US government is affiliated with the organization at some level and that is not appropriate.

You do not carry any flag that is not our national, a foreign national, state territory, or military, or cadet program flag.

So, what's it going to be @nypd ? It's odd that you would carry the POW/MIA flag, but here you are in both the color guard and mounted color guard for the 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Let's be consistent. It's carried last. Fringe or no?

No other color guards in the parade. That's disappointing! No military, vets, cadets, explorers, or even scouts.

High school marching bands: wearing your field show uniform in a street parade looks bad and for some, it looked REALLY bad (Christmas music in black uniforms?). Bands need to have street parade uniforms that bring a traditional look that is easily recognizable and enjoyable to see. No one knows what your firld show is nor are they interested.

I'll catch certain things like this salute technique that has creeped into the Marine Corps. The middle fingertip points to the chin strap post, which is much too fa back. When the USMC writes MCO 5060.20 and then tells everyone it doesn't apply to either Boot Camp location, you just scratch your head and wonder when is it ever applied if not from the start?

I know that @michael.j.kelley.9 - DrillMaster002, would weigh in on this, but I've not heard from him in two weeks and that's unusual. I'm concerned. I pray he and his family are OK.

A follower sent in this colors presentation by a c

A follower sent in this colors presentation by a color guard from @trecxjrotc - It sounds like the commander gives the command, "Half Step, MARCH!" for the team to begin. So, there's a reasons not to call it: It looks ridiculous to march in to present at Half Step. There's no reason to call half step from the halt. Forward is called.

Since you marched on at Half Step, let's get that critiqued. Steps are much too high. The Army, Air Force, and Space Force all march at Half Step using the same step technique - half of a full step, 15" for the Army (12" AF/SF) which makes it half of a full step and there is no other alteration described. So, what does that mean? It means you also HEEL STRIKE, not toe strike (like the Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard). You feet are raised just enough to clear the marching surface at a full and half step.

Microphone cadet, you should have walked out before. You are not part of the color guard formation. You off to the side, starting late, getting in step, flanking, and continuing the strange half step march to your place looked very awkward. You recite the Pledge quickly, as if to get it out of the way. That was not appropriate. But, why recite the Pledge if the Star-Spangled Banner is then sung? That makes no sense. One or the other, not both. If it's the Pledge, ask the audience to join with you and start slowly. If the anthem, then just sing it.

An announcement should have been made for everyone in the room to please rise for the presentation of the colors and the singing of the anthem.

The @usafdrillteam from a couple of years ago. Purposeful design that seamlessly transitions the block into the line. 👉Cadets, please take specific notice! There aren't any sidesteps! As a judge (even just a spectator), I can tell you, any more than 2 sidesteps doesn't work like you think it might. It communicates the very basic level of design, quite parochial.

My Routine Mapping Tools can be great help to you when writing an #exhibitiondrill - you can download them from the Resources page at my website (link in bio). Then read my articles on how to write exhibition drill and, most importantly, read The Seven Parts of an Exhibition Drill Routine.
