Sent in with a question. Is that sword salute technique correct? No, it's not! However, this could be an #exhibitiondrill phase and this type of technique is just fine then.

When I judged the @pershingrifles competition for their national convention I saw many procedural and technique errors that awareness and education will fix.

MCAS Miramar Dental's flag display. Rather than but the appropriate sized flags and staffs, you cun just partially furl the flags and use the cords and tassels to tie off each flag.

Problem solved.

No need to mention that the national has fringe, the flags are out of order, mounted are on the wrong staffs, topped with the wrong finials, and in the wrong stands.

I'm SO tired of those incredibly ignorant comments

I'm SO tired of those incredibly ignorant comments about D&C not mattering. I just received one the other day on YouTube saying how ridiculous it is for the Navy Ceremonial Guard to have a drill team. It's a waste of time, yada, yada, yada.

You have no idea what D&C does. You have no idea how positive an effect it can have on every aspect of life for any individual.

I've worked with many first responders also and this is why I teach a COMPLETE course and hand out my manual. You get EVERYTHING you need to know in one week. That week is jam packed and it's difficult to take in everything but you begin to process it right away and, with consistent practice, you can digest all the training and keep those tools available when you need them.

I have worked with JROTC teams from every service

I have worked with JROTC teams from every service all over the country. I've been doing it for years in-person and through video. Many, many teams that walk away with trophies are the ones that have taken advice from me. My goal is not having anyone receive a trophy, my goal is education. However, if that results in a high placement, then I'm happy for the team.

My suggestions and feedback are only part of the formula. The other part, the larger part is the hard work put in by the cadets. That's what really matters because the hard work comes in after I've critiqued and sometimes those critiques point out massive problems. To recover from that kind of situation is impressive.

Bearer height, waistline level, and colors harness level. The first two are different, the last one is the same. Note, first responders have some leeway in wearing the harness (not under the duty belt) whereas military teams do not.

When I post this type of video (my second in several years) its to help others understand. Not everyone marches well. When I worked with a local AJROTC we had one cadet who forced himself to march on the drill team because he didn't march well and he was going to college to be an Army officer one day. He worked hard to learn how to march fairly well. He was an asset to the team. He would march minimally in his coming college years and then very rarely, if at all, while Active Duty.

For the enlisted, marching is a bit more of a requirement. You SHOULD be able to perform the very basic tasks such as marching front and center for a promotion/award. You need to able to do this and this Marine should have practiced. He should have sought help from his squad leader at a minimum.

I worked with Belgian and Dutch WWII reenactment groups at several monuments throughout the area while I was on the Spangdahlem Air Base Honor Guard. This is a French group in the town of Carentan (if it doesn't sound familiar, look it up, it's fascinating). The groups spare no expense to ensure every detail is as close to the original look as possible for their vehicles, equipment, and uniformsa.

The photos were sent in for critique. ❌The colors harness sockets need to be at the same level. ❌The sockets are worn below the waist with the web belt over the harness. ❌Left hands on the staff at the socket, no higher unless there is strong wind. Then, slide the left up the staff to Under and touching the right. ❌Heels must be together and toes pointing out 22.5 degrees in each direction. ❌When flagstaffs are at Carry, the guards are at Right Shoulder (what you see here is a French version of D&C if I'm not mistaken). ❌Both flags should be 3'x4' (here, the US is 3x5). ❌Right rifle guard is too close. ❌When at Order, fingers are extended and joined at the SIDE of the rifle.

⭐Nice job, team!

Marine Barracks Washington storage method at the t

Marine Barracks Washington storage method at the top and Continental Color Guard method below. Which method of flag storage is better? That all depends. It depends on how long the flags will be stored, their weight (embroidered or not), and the material they're made from (nylon, polyester - the most common materials, or rayon - a more expensive, silk-like polyester).

Storing the staff horizontal is perfect. Allowing the silk (the name for the flag material) to hang for extended periods of time, the material will stretch. Draping the material once or twice over the staff is going to allow the material to rest and not stretch.

Which is better in the long run? Both organizations have flags going in and out just about hourly each day. The Continental Color Guard's @usarmy_ccg method is better. The @marinebarrackswashington method works well for daily storage but the flags still can stretch a bit.

From @professorflagg - This photo is from 1917 ... it's the American Red Cross carrying thier flag as a fundraiser. People would toss their change into the flag along the parade route. It is the very reason the Flag Code prohibits carrying the flag horizontally.
