The armyteammidatlantic account has ten (I could o The armyteammidatlantic account has ten (I could only fit 9 in) great photos of some Drill Sergeants. The Soldiers look outstanding! However! Flag companies have been pushing flag sets that have the junk brown pole, junk plastic gold colored eagle finial with brass colored middle screw joint, gold colored fringe, and gold colored cord and tassels that everyone naturally assumes that that is the accepted standard for everyone. It's not. Not at all. 👉Here, Army flags must have the gold colored fringe, but the cord and tassels is not authorized!

Don't use the belts as an indicator. Dressing righ Don't use the belts as an indicator. Dressing right or left will raise the belt. Look at the shoulders and arms. Depending on the fit of the blouse, the wearer may have difficulty raising their arm. However, shoulders should be level and the arm must extend horizontally from the shoulder to the left (same arm only the head turns left or right) along the same plane as the torso. Also, keep the neck straight, turn the head, don't tilt it. . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

JROTC cadets, just because you see it on the inter JROTC cadets, just because you see it on the internet and it looks good doesn't mean you immediately adopt it for you and your team. The service ceremonial units in and around DC square their knuckles so the appearance is cleaner. The hand is centered on the trouser leg and several of the uniforms have a stripe. The hand centered on the stripe with the knuckles forming a right angle with it creates a more professional appearance. But, you have to have the index finger on the seam and the knuckles must angle forward. . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

Sent in by a follower! The 1st Special Forces Comm Sent in by a follower! The 1st Special Forces Command sent a color guard to a local high school football game to present the colors recently. How'd they do? First, this is what 3x4 flags look like on 9'6"staffs. Only the Army authorizes this (AR 840-10). ❌The M4 is not placed on the shoulder. Place the butt in the right hand, stock extended, rifle vertical. ❌Hands on the rifles at Present need work. ❌Right hand holding the staff at the mouth. Left hand holding the staff resting on the socket. ❌Everyone wears web belts. 👉I've been given this response: "Well, they're SF and they don't concentrate on marching." Then don't pick up the equipment and ignore your responsibilities. Note: I was told that years ago. That has nothing to do with this team.

"Because that's the way we've always done it." Tha "Because that's the way we've always done it." That's the only reason I can think of as to why JROTC commanders give their formation Present Arms when reporting-in to the judge for regulation sequences (platoon, squad, flight, element). Stop! The formation commander is the one who salutes.

Sent in by a follower! This is the marching clip f Sent in by a follower! This is the marching clip from the movie, The Shores of Tripoli (1942). I apologize for the orientation on the screen. These moves were the very first exhibition drill moves for the US military. Ripple Rear March, To the Winds (not shown), Blackout (not shown), and others were the foundational moves that developed into what we see today. These moves and many more are in my first book, Exhibition Drill for the Military Drill Team. 👉At this time in the American Drill World, the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard all drilled pretty much the same (regulation and exhibition drill). Eventually, stylistic changes crept into each service. It was more of top-down types of changes: Generals had personal preferences and the committies writing manuals also had personal input. #exhibitiondrill #ExhibitionDrillTraining #drillteam . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

Sent in for a critique! Bob Jones AFJROTC color gu Sent in for a critique! Bob Jones AFJROTC color guard. They are FORCED to use Army techniques, as a many schools across the country. That's why the guards are at Right Shoulder and the bearers have their left hands on the staff at the socket. I vehemently disagree with this ridiculous requirement. Judges are briefed, not trained. Sad. Critique! 👉With that amount of wind, left hands could by under and touching the left. ❓3x4 (or 5) flags on 9'6" staffs? Difficult to say. If so, that's only authorized for the Army. Air Force requires the smaller dimension color to be mounted on the 8' staff and the larger dimension color on the taller staff. ❌While bearer hand positions must be Army styled, the grip on the rifle should still be the one shown in AFMAN 36-2203. All fingers closed, no gaps. Split the heel of the butt with the index and middle fingers. ⭐Spacing! ⭐Chin straps on chins! ⭐Uniforms are sharp! Belt keepers must be 1" from the buckle plate. If they slide easily, crimp them lightly with pliers while covering them with a towel. ⭐⭐Nice job, team! . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

I've been asked several times if law enforcement, I've been asked several times if law enforcement, firefighters, or EMS personnel are authorized to have an American flag presented to their next of kin (NOK). For first responders, a state, city, or county flag may be more significant. Any of these flags is proper. Whether the death is duty related or not, a flag is appropriate. . Every American is allowed a small-star flag on their casket. Who folds it is the ultimate question if the deceased was not military. For a prior service first responder funeral, the department usually works with the representatives from the service to work out flag fold and presentation. It's up to the NOK who will present and that individual should be consulted as to preference. The NOK can refuse a flag on the casket or even to receive it. . Large-star interment flags are reserved for military and government officials. .

#MultipleResponsibilities - That's the term used t #MultipleResponsibilities - That's the term used to describe the complexity of marching. At first, when we are just learning to march, arms and feet may not work correctly. Taking the arms out of the equation, shown here, can be helpful. 👉So, what are these responsibilities, you may ask. 1) Proper foot placement. 2) Correct step length. 3) Coordinated arm swing. 3) Correct arm swing length. 4) Remaining at Attention. 5) Staying covered (alignment to the front). 6) Staying dressed (alignment to the side depending on direction of travel). 7) Staying in step (same foot as the formation). 8) Staying in phase (same timing as the formation). This is just the very basics of marching! 9) Making all of that look natural. ➕Now, we can add more responsibilities by executing flanks, columns, marching to the rear, column of files, etc. ➕Increase it even more by just carrying a rifle and then add the manual of arms while marching. ➕Now add exhibition drill. . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

What happens in EVERY cadet unit is training by word of mouth. This year's cadets were taught by last year's senior cadets who were taught by the previous year's senior cadets, and so on ad nauseum. None of the cadets in that chain of events ever cracked open a manual. To add insult to injury, a cadet or 3 taught something they liked better than what was previously taught and what we have now is something that bears no resemblance to the standard.
