I heard theres metal under their boots, maaking that sound, its also very sliperry

@@Nathan-ys9vk yes there is hob nails

Trying listening to greek evzones march

Shaun yes

Lol

Well none of the public are Jedi so order 66 would do nothing. A more appropriate order would be order 37. This particular order has the clones wipe out civilians if they are harbouring a fugitive most likely a Jedi.

Me too.

That’s probably because you need good eyesight to pass the medical to get in the army but I don’t know why he has glasses

@@jakeh799 you can get in the army even if you need glasses ive a mate in the royal lancers who wears glasses

@@jameshorth2722 oh ok, there’s probably a thresh hold you have to pass then and I guess it’s not that high

Threshold is not that high for glasses wearers, i couldn't read the second line and scored 6/36. The med team said it was fine for majority of roles except pilot. Last time i checked for guardsmen they were told to have contact lenses but hey ho things change.

the standards have fallen sadly

Digestives since they’re Brits 😂

Very true, except there is no need to try to bring the US military into this topic. Look up "The Sentinels of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier."

Every foreign military video I always see comments about the U.S. but when you go to U.S. military videos you don’t see comments about foreign countries...

Actually yes US soldiers do that isn’t true at all lol

Look up the marine sentinels, the tomb of the unknown soldier, or the marine corps birthday silent drills.

@@domthebomb2649 Marine Sentinels? You are talking about the Army Honor Guards right?

Needs better choreography though

@@aweirdfilipino it is choreographed but they are humans not robots

thank you very much :) don't mind me asking, how do you know?

@@wardrobe189 well, my dad is a major in the grenadier guards, and i met him in wellington barracks

@@chimbio2 he needs to loud-en up hes voice more

far from being an armchair expert. I instructed drill.

@@mikejones4240 Did I make reference to you directly?

Funny how that always happens. Correct me if I'm wrong here please but based on the red tunics and location I'd assume these are Scots Guardsmen. I think I recall from my London visit to the Scots Guard museum that their tunics feature the button configuration we see here. If that's the case, I'd also excuse a few slight mishaps. People tend to forget that there are two types of units in the corps of a military or paramilitary organization: parade units and action units. While the Scotts Guards definitely serve in many ceremonial roles, they are first and foremost a fighting regiment and always have been. I think those of us who aren't from Britain or especially the commonwealth think the Foot Guards regiments only serve to guard estates of the crown but these regiments saw combat as recently as Afghanistan and the Falklands. So being a fraction of a section or a half step off mark isn't going to bother me.

@@51stparedoctober4 yes most likely this is not a ceremonial unit based on the fact they are doing street lining duties. They are probably part of the 1st battalion the Scots guards which are the combat unit of the regiment, the ceremonial unit F-company will most likely be doing the marching Down the street.

Well, the pace sticks were out in force. Dragging the fucking kid up the road by three full ranks.

As a former reservist in the Canadian Army, I agree. But pretty much all of the drill movements, save for the 'make two ranks' movement are 100% familiar to me. If I was still in the reserves today, despite having reached the ripe old age of sixty-something, I wouldn't have much trouble executing the drill commands seen in this video. I guess that's why they call it drill, because the commands and movements are drilled in so deeply, you can't forget. One thing I thought was interesting was how the officer in command of the parade really didn't have to yell, he was able to project commands clearly with a normal, if a bit elevated tone of voice.

Ye

Well, they do say the Germans have no sense of humour. Maybe it was the language barrier.

US drill standards (from my point of view ) are legit non existed. Their arms don't swing, swinging the arms is good.

@@quorented2849 They should paint small marks on the road so that the guards march out and can see exactly where they need to stop.

As an ex scots guardsman the reason its a bit messy is because these are junior soldiers.

One of the reasons it's messy is because there waring half a bear on their head

Do you mean an ‘about’ turn?

It's called dressing.

When I was a young reservist in a Canadian Army reserve unit many decades ago, and preparing for our passing-out (graduation) parade we had special steel plates nailed to the heels of our parade boots so they would make a satisfying 'crump' sound when we executed drill movements like coming to attention, standing at ease, coming to a halt and marching. Foot drill in the Canadian Army is pretty much 99% identical to British Army foot drill and virtually all of the drill movements are the same. I remember that my parents came to see the passing-out parade and after we were dismissed, I was talking to my mother, who said she thought the sound of those heel plates was pretty cool.

@@stevestruthers6180 yes! Thanks for telling me that I did believe there was metal or smth but thanks for Confirming

Yes and it was twats like the L/Sgt that that that caused the problems at Deep Cut. Bullies have no place. Read a drill manual. The reality is quite different.

A soldier must be like this!!!!!!!

Poor supervision.

Now thats what guardsmen today are lacking, they dont go through those grueling tough military training anymore nowadays in the guards depot like your era, thus you get this.. marching poorly and not knowing to even count 6 phases like this 2:50

@@ianj843 thats not bullying at all, guardsmen are soldiers which are needed to fight in combat as warriors, they are not softies. I saw trooping the color from the 70s and 80s and they all were fiercely disciplined in drill and all stood upright with chests pointed out.. not like this.. very dissapointing

As a former Scots Guardsman.. Shocking drill.. & embarrassing

As a current keyboard warrior, I must agree with my colleagues even though I don't know anything nor do I have any experience :)

As the Queen of England, i agree with myself

@@YoO161 Wait?! you're from over 300 years ago?! Cause England hasn't existed as a Kingdom since 1707

Was the same at Harry and Meghans wedding. Guards RSM positioned them, RRoS RSM sorted them out into their proper spacing.

Yea, it felt more ceremonial back then if it it was now. That’s how we do it in the states, unless you consider the m14 modern.

With the susat on there is no longer the front sight which could dig into their neck with how they carry them

@@MattF_03 you made me go search for my old unit parading with iron sights and bayonets on armistice day , early 2000's. only got SUSAT's for competitions, pre deployment and deployment. the for-sight can be removed . just seems pointless . they fold arms and change arms to rest . just take the damn SUSAT off.

@@MattF_03 The foresight was always removed for drill regardless if a SUSAT was fitted.

Horrible weapon for drill give me the SLR any day

@@mikejones4240 While I support the SLR idea, personally I think the Household Division should use the Lee Enfield for ceremonial duties

Yup. But their regimental name is “Scots Guards”.

he’s not fired

Very much

agree, very disappointing. compare to guardsmen during the 1980s, they were outstanding in drill and in posture

@Matchstick Automatic I understand drill is very monotonous on the body but its the army not dance class.

@Matchstick Automatic I'll have you know I'm a navy seal part of seal team 6 and I have over 600 confirmed kills.

Since the 1960s the drill has been a shambles especially the horrible Royal Regiment of Scotland and the Guards here .

Like what exactly...

He hehehe did you see that too

@@ernieross1322 I sure did. Even though I was a reservist in the Canadian Army a long time ago and the drill is the same (but we didn't do the form-two-ranks movement), even I was expecting the next command to be, "Dressing... right DRESS!"

Jajaja i think i've seen him

😭😭☠️☠️ I was gunna say that LMAOOO

They are shuffling to adjust their bearings.

You have to be British to be a Royal guard in England

That’s the point

They literally are

cheers dits

I think its not problem in standards, problem is in command and officers I they don't care... ... you got this on video. I was in army 20 years ago, and you know when real officer or sergeant take command of company / squad If commanding person don't have charisma, all drill is useless.
