... nice and easy, jk I kept getting mad when I heard the guy say that

Mark Katz Like come on they don't need to know to do it "nice and easy", it's their frickin job man!

Jacob Mattenson the guy who kept saying that is on the Honor Guard, he is usually told to do that, it actually helps calm down the team my uncle is on the Honor Guard and he says that usually what they are supposed to do

Chad Fogle @ Chad how old are you?

As a retired AF guy I think the AF stole the show but we all know the Marines looked the sharpest uniform wise.

I think Air Force, army, marines, then navy

You in the Air Force yet?

@@beaunoel4040 nah, I went Army May 2020. Once my contract ends I’m going USAF

***** Thanks. Guess I'll just have to deal with it . :/ Thanks for the info though ;)

***** LOL yeah, I'm just using some of what they do with their hands to figure new rifle movements and stuff and the clicking of the rifles always intrigued me.

TrueWW2History it takes a while but my rifle makes loads of noise because its been broken in kinda like shoes

Do not forget the their rifles are made out of wood. When they hit as hard as they can the rifles with there hands with a loose tight sling(never taped). I am in JROTC and I was taught by a former Old Guard Drill Team member. Which he presides at Mizzou University teaching the Perishing Rifle Team. From what I had learn from getting the sounds is slapping the rifle and their heel clickers hardly make sounds only when they are marching.

TrueWW2History good question. as a prior member of this Drill, I can tell you Exactly how we get that noise. first the weapon has an upper and lower hand guard and the stock (all made of wood) placed over metal. there is No specialized sling and the standard issue sling that we use is as Tight as we can get it 'cause a loose sling will cause many problems for the driller. the sound actually comes from simply training to beat the lower hand guard as hard as possible without incurring injury. it isn't as easy or simple as it looks. months of beating the weapon repeatedly is how we do it. there is no great mystery here, just a lot of pain and practice. hope this helps.

It actually helps us, sometimes during competition the members tend to fly through their routine. With the increased speed, movements become blended and not distinguished, which makes them sloppy.

Yeah really shut the fuck up

The motionless part for the the Honor Guard “I will remain Sharp, Crisp, and Motionless”

LyNx Clan yep

Trevor Mikos hope your at least 6" or taller. I asked my Recruiter about it as well.

Airman Pro Yeah I'm 6 foot

Actually it’s “The height requirement for men is 5 feet, 10 inches and the requirement for women is 5 feet, 6 inches.”

Actually only one guy was ROTC USAF HG drill team 2010-2012

No one it's no longer a competition but a exhibition the last winner for the competition was the air force

forte718 yess

actually the marine corps won this year

Anthony Lewis Actually, there were No champs in 2014 and none in 2015. the teams no longer drill for the trophy . the Air Force silent drill team were the champions in 2013. sadly, the teams only drill for bragging rights now.

I understand why you are upset but without this who would upkeep all the moral of the troops overseas. Who would draw all of the enlisted men and women into the services. I do admire your concern but for heavens sake lighten up man!

You should be a stand up comedian because this comment was very laughable.
