Start different, end together! Close and Extend for the AF and SF! This is how you do it start to finish. Each element takes sidesteps (adjusted size), not necessarily Left/Right Steps (12" steps).

What a great bunch! Army snuvh in there too and we all learned the difference in techniques between AF and Army. This is one of the most fun times I've had teaching!

Thank you chief_eclark for bringing me to Bob Jones AFJROTC! Now, some of the best cadets not only have the CORRECT information and techniques, they also have the tools to teach the other cadets and the incoming freshmen!

The first example is how to incorrectly call a command. There are several qualities that must be met for commands and the Falling Monotone is not one of them. Inflection MUST be there. Loudness MUST be there. And more.

I should be surprised but I'm not. Even with a veteran group, it doesn't matter. Most veterans served their tour of 4 years or less and that was 57 years ago. Sitting on a headstone is accepted here, I suppose. To just about everyone else, it's unbelievably disrespectful to the deceased and their NOK.

Sent in by a follower! At first it looked to me like the flags were switched, but it's just the wind blowing them. Utah National Guard colors. They have some positives here, soecing, alignment, equipment, and order. But the rifles need slings and left guard must be at Right Shoulder. Left hands MUST be on the staff at the harness socket. Right hands MUST be on the staff at ching level. The staff must be slightly angled forward. The top photo looks like Eyes Right, but the right hand must slide up the staff and the arm be fully extended. Everyone needs web belts and the harnesses should be green web material. ⭐They did OK, but could do better.

Sent in by a follower! I usually receive links and sometimes those links say "unavailable" for one reason or another. The reason for this is the msgduty Instagram account blocked me. Now, why would they do that? Because they are comfortable knowing everything there is to know and hate being told they are wrong. I don't offer opinion, except for rare occasions. I do state information straight out of the manual: TC 3-21.5, AR 840-10, AR 6(something that isn't coming directly to mind at the moment), MCO 5060.20, MCO 10520.3, NTP 13B, AFMAN 36-2203, AFI 34-1201, and AFPAM 34-1202. I get blocked because I expect others to uphold easily accessible published standards. ❌The national flag is not displayed with fringe or the gold colored cord and tassels with the Marine Corps flag. ⭐The flags are on the correct side and in the correct order!

Unlearning some AWFUL habits. "Do it this way, it LOOKS good." The arm was used to help create visual memory and it worked! The team is doing SO WELL and fully understanding the training that comes DIRECTLY from the manual. Column of Files/Threes is very different between each service - you must know exactly what you are doing.❓What does the Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard do now that these moves are no longer in the MCO?

First image: Spats are low-cut and fit over top of the shoe: canvas leggings (or gaiters) are higher cut up to mid-calf. This is what Navy Sailors traditionally wore when going ashore. It's what you wear now for colors, firing party, and escort, but not pallbearer. Third: what you will see if you search for "Navy leggings" 😅

Pulled up to my hotel and immediately fixed the flag-it was about 2' below the truck. There seems to be locks on the clasps, but I didn't take a close look. Did I mention that I'm in Huntsville, AL to teach this weekend?

This is a GREAT example of needing to understand the context of the photo. How on earth could the Marine Corps departmental flag be dipped with the guards at shoulder and not Present? Because this is the portion of the program at #marinebarrackswashington that talks about the Marine Corps Battle Flag. As the announcer speaks, the flag dips forward and is then brought to vertical. 👉Don't jump to conclusions. Ask questions.

Sent in by a follower! Navy batting 1K today. I don't what command the team is from, possibly the USS Constitution. Possibly. The only reason I say that is because of the swords, swords are not authorized for any other team in the Fleet. To me, the team should be in period costumes to use the swords, and any other time use rifles. ❌Fringe on the national.

I love hummus. You can buy some that has chopped olives, peppers, etc, in a mound in the middle. Some people like to mix this all up and eat it with crackers or flatbread. I don't like mixing. I prefer to have a little of the olives in some bites but not all. I also like to eat hummus with stalks of celery. My method of enjoying hummus is probably very different from someone else and I don't critique anyone on their hummus consumption (see my new account, HummusMaster 🙂). I'm not going to write a manual about it, that would be useless. However, when we come to drill and ceremonies, we have manuals, we have published standards. I've written volumes about this and will continue to critique. Some don't understand why I critique even to the point of quoting, "punish in private." That's sad. Education is not punishment. Critiques may be painful, but are not punishment. Life is full of standards.

The guidon bearer positions two LEFT steps and two steps to the rear of and to the LEFT of the formation commander. ❌Colors, we have the usual wrong staffs and wrong finials (flying eagles this time), but ⭐the finials are at the same level. ❌Flags should be the same dimensions. ❌Right rifle guard, your web belt is not worn over your uniform belt when wearing a blouse, it's worn above. ❌Left hands are NOT grasping the staff at the harness socket.
