How to Execute Carry Arms

DrillMaster May 31, 2012 Commentary, Drill Teams, Honor Guard, Instructional Leave a Comment

This is the safest way to carry an unloaded or replica rifle. Everyone needs to adopt this carry right away- Port Arms is not the way to transport a rifle unless you are in formation and there isn’t anyone around. Carry Arms is a move executed while carrying a a rifle, fire axe or pike pole. This is the safest …

This is the westpoint_usma cadet color guard. • • • • • 👉When in formation, the academies come before their respective services because West Point and the US Naval Academy were started before our military. It stands to reason that if protocol dictates that order for a formation of personnel, it would apply to the order of flags. Those 14s look like rubber ducks. ❌Hands on the rifles need to be better positioned. ❌Army color guards march and stand at Close Interval ONLY. ❌Staafs must match angles to the right when dipped. ❌Army bearer's socket is higher than the US bearer's. . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

It isn't. The battle color refered to is actually It isn't. The battle color refered to is actually a regimental or flotilla color: an organizational flag. That flag can be fringed and carried by a color guard. Documentation professorflagg and I have been able to find suggests that when they added the number 142 to the flag, it changed it from an ensign/jack/battle color to a unit-specific regimental color. The battle standard is used in war time as an alternative to the National Ensign, like the Navy Jack. You fly either the Ensign or Jack not both. This flag is no a battle color/standard. For this situation to be "authorized", there needs to be an authorization that would come from the Department of the Navy or Congress, or the President. 👉Also if it were a true battle color. The flag would be to the far right of the formation in the position of honor. Fringe is not authorized on a Battle Standard, it is authorized on an organizational flag. ❌Fringe and the gold cord and tassels is not authorized on the national. ❌All flags carried by a color guard must be as close as possible to the same dimensions. Although you would not know it by looking at the photo, the Merchant Marine Academy follows MCO 5060.20, MCO 10520.3, and NTP 13B. . academyendeavors usmmacademy . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

There's no one in the casket. I might put some wei There's no one in the casket. I might put some weight in there, but this is a training prop. My trainees learn what is inside the casket, how to drape and dress the flag. How to transfer the casket from bier to coach to caisson/fire apparatus to grave. They learn flag fold, hand off, and presentation as well.

For those who think what I do here is harsh, you'r For those who think what I do here is harsh, you're right, it is. I just texted with two cadets from this school. They have positive attitudes and are goal oriented to meet and eventually exceed standards. While there have been difficulties, excuses were not even considered.

This color guard shows a lack of awareness and understanding of standards and the responsibilities of team members. ⭐Perfectly acceptable to carry only the American flag, it's just not usual. ❌Wrong staff and finial. Only the light ash wood guidon staff with the flat, silver Army Spearhead is authorized. ❌The gold colored cord and tassels is not authorized for USAF flags to display or carry. ❌ #HarnessSocketCrotchSyndrome ❌Left hand on socket. ❌Left guard at Right Shoulder. ❌Guard elbows not tucked. ❌Different uniform combinations. ❌Out of alignment. ❌Spacing is a bit off. ❌Timing is slightly off too. This is an example of phasing: the same foot is striking the marching surface but at different times. ❌The only time covers are not worn in a color guard formation, is inside a chapel. ❌The colors are passing and the cadets in flight formation are just standing around. 👉This is a serious leadership problem. We do not shaw honor and respect by not meeting standards. Unacceptable. 👉Please read AFMAN 36-2203, AFI 34-1201, and AFPAM 34-1202.

Crimped rounds are not the best, but there are goo Crimped rounds are not the best, but there are good. The casing doesn't expand so, they're probably not made by the commies in China. There are other crimped rounds that have a weak casing that expands and jams. The jam can be so bad that a cleaning rod has to be inserted down the barrel and tapped to get the casing out. #firingparty . 🔆Education is 🔑! .. www.thedrillmaster.org Use this link to order: https://glendale.com/?ref=NinqEO3mFYiuV ..

Here's a good example of having a colors harness s Here's a good example of having a colors harness socket worn lower but without any reasoning behind it. If the team wore utility belts over (not above) their uniform belts and had the harness under that belt, the sockets would have to be at different heights, just like the Marine Corps requires when in their uniform combination that looks like this (I can never remember the name). The team also mixes standards: notice that there are three bearers (authorized by TC 3-21.5 and AFMAN 36-2203) and the left rifle guard is at the outside shoulder with left hands at their sides, no arm swing (MCO 5060.20 and AFMAN 36-2203), and MCO-style grips on the rifles. 👉The school is Army-based, but most college ROTC competitions are based on the MCO.
