Critique of a @smhs.njrotc (GA) colors presentatio

Critique of a @smhs.njrotc (GA) colors presentation.

I know there is an NJROTC cadet manual. Following it for D&C is not going to steer you right. It doesn't follow MCO 5060.20. Use it for other things, but not D&C.

❌You're in a church and the MCO states no rifles, no covers. ❌Do NOT dip the Navy departmental, nor any other military flag, for the Pledge of Allegiance. Military flags have strict specifications on when they can be dipped. ❌Right rifle guard, your left elbow is supposed to be at your side as you wait for the Cut command. What you are doing there is an armed individual salute when you should just be flaring your left hand. ❌The timing for the guards going to Present should be that you both end at the same time. ❌Right hands must be on the staffs at mouth level. ❌Org bearer, since your hand is a bit low, your dip is super deep. ❌As you dip, since you are are using staffs with spades, you "Cut the Cake", but the rotation of the staff should be gradual and clockwise.

👉As you brought the staffs to Order both bearers moved slowly and therefore the movement was awkward with the staffs breaking vertical. Thrust the staff downward in a single count. I show how in a video here: #MakeFlagstaffManualGreatAgain. Scroll to the beginning of the tag. 👉Ensure you regrasp the staff with the left holding the left forearm horizontal, let the staff slide through both hands, hold with the left and gather the silk with the right. The gather is an individual move that was never intended to be synchronized. It takes as long as it takes because silks do their own thing.

⭐Good precision on the Cut. ⭐Team presents well. ⭐Correct equipment. ⭐Good spacing. ⭐The team is decently aligned on the center aisle. ⭐Guards executed Order fairly well.

Measuring out fringe to send to an AFJROTC unit. A

Measuring out fringe to send to an AFJROTC unit. All Army, Air Force, and Space Force flags must have fringe.

All Marine Corps and Coast Guard organizational flags must have fringe. Same for the Navy except for the Infantry battalion flag. These three services are strictly forbidden from displaying or carrying the national with fringe.

Cadets of @libertyuniversity presenting the colors using the guidance of DoD Instruction 5410.19 Vol 4.

👉Probably the second worst type of colors harness you can buy, which is why the bearers' left thumbs are in front of the staff, but shouldn't be. ❌Wrong staffs, team. No one is authorized to use metal staffs. ❌Harness sockets could have been better adjusted to as close as possible to the same level. 👉AFROTC cadets, you should have had chin straps down. ❌Ceremonial belts should be MUCH tighter and the ❌keepers must be one inch from the buckle. ⭐Good technique overall. ⭐Guards at Right Shoulder.

The Colors Diamond Formation! I used to do this in the early 1990s and have randomly taught it since then. It's great for presenting the colors since the guards remain in place for the #ColorsTurnOn and Off and the color bearers execute a Wheel with the rotation in the center (color bearer or space). I'll have to record it one day and show you all.

Thanks to this awesome colors set of the @usnceremonialguard!

That's not good. This is from @usarmyoldguard but the colors team here is not TOG, it's @1stsfcommand. I never expect a high level of achievement from operators in D&C, but this isn't good at all. An hour's worth of just-in-time training doesn't work.

Recently, @usnavycno visited Japan. Since CNO33 is a US government official whose position rates honors (just like the Chinese President visiting the US a short time ago), she was honored with an arrival ceremony where the Japanese Self Defense Force held the US and Japanese national flags in their color guard as you can see here.

Yes, our flag is being dipped in salute, and so is the Japanese flag. They have different standards. Read on: Do you see that the US flag is in the position of honor, on the right, on Japanese soil? That speaks volumes of the honor that is shown by the Japanese for visitors.

I thought I had posted this before with the #MakeUniformWearGreatAgain tag, but it's here now.

This is the requirement for female Marines to tuck in the blouse when on colors.

Note: This applies to the Marine Corps, NROTC, and MCJROTC. NJROTC has yet to enforce this (but should, for uniformity).

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 1020.34H. See #MakeUniformWearGreatAgain ❌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.
