Don't forget the Xenomorphs. Trying to get them to do anything remotely regimental ain't gonna work.

It's always the left foot. Left is first in everything you do.



Honestly, that's the way that they always "move" Marines. I haven't done any formation drills or close order drills since bootcamp. In Combat Training and MOS School, they'd always form it up, to move us, where the orders are ATTENTION, PARADE REST, LEFT FACE, RIGHT FACE, FORWARD MARCH, and HALT. As you mentioned, all of the "marching" was just walking in step.




This depends mostly on when the order to halt is called; PLATOON... HALT! I think you have to call the "halt part while the right foot is still moving, and then everyone takes one more step with thier left and brings it in. I'll find an NCO to ask.


Then take the corrections and be all that more accurate. I won't knive hand anybody and sceam at 'em. Unless you want me to!
I've been in a couple of movies -Before I joined- where I was able to point out this and that was "wrong" or "they'd never move like that" etc etc, and the director, actors, and the like would take the advice. Or course I had been a reenactor for over 10 years, and collect militaria so I have a vast knowledge on the subjects even when I was a civilian.


Neither is my Recon unit. But they're still bad-asses. It's just what happens to a tight unit that isn't getting constantly railed. Training and readiness take importance over all the B.S. inspections and being "squared away".


I had my USCM impression before I was a Marine. I don't fit into your "never" catagory.


I've only stood at attention twice since I reported to my unit, and that was at a change of command ceremony. And in our unit we hardly salute ourselves... our officers are often walking around and they get sick of saluting so they tell us not to salute unless they're wearing a cover, so they often walk around without 'em. And besides you don't salute inside a building, or in the field anyhow.

You don't salute in the field?? But how are you to tell enemy snipers which officer to gank, then?!



Thanks for the info and details, Aaron. I don't guarantee we'll ever apply them religiously (it's pretty unlikely, really!) but it never hurts to know, at any rate.

Make a hole. Or Alex will make one.

I did when I was a Xeno.

They did end up a bit sweaty though.

We know.

I think your post was very well put, Kev... It sums up how pretty much everyone here feels. It's up to Aaron to take what you said on board, and assimilate the information appropriately, if he wants to be part of the group

"If you can" meaning "if you're allowed", or meaning "if you can walk that day"? Because I've been pushing to be carried during the parade for years and they won't let me get away with it.

They make me use my stupid feet.

For the last time Spat, we're not going to assemble an Honor Guard to shoulder the four corners of the SpatThrone. That's just not what the Corps. is about.
