Love this video. It's great seeing a pass and review in Army dress blues and so sharply executed. As a former 11B, I'm glad and proud to have served in the Army.

I served in the 3rd US Infantry {TOG} from February 1984 to December 1986 in Alpha and then Bravo Companies. Watching this video brings back some great memories. I think I marched on Summerall field at least 40-50 times in that time I was there. I had been in the Army six years when I arrived at the 3rd Herd! It seems just like yesterday! OLD GUARD ALL THE WAY!

Never been issued a set of Dress Blues . Got a bunch of Jungle fatigues and Jungle boots though. Got piles of equipment and ammo at the Company hootch at LZ English when we came in from the Bush in the WIA and KIA pile. Weapons and gear all you need didnt need to see the supply Sargent no forms to sign yahoo just like Christmas . Never been in a peace time Army . Went to the 2/503 of the 173rd Abn got there in 69 when I was 17 left just before I turned 20 . Went to the 82nd 2/505 at Ft.Bragg a guy at the VA told me they changed the name of the Post . Hows all the guys gonna know where to go when they recover them if they dont know the name of the Post ?.... I love Parades I get to Salute the Flag when she goes by. Its just that you got to kill them more than they kill you and nobody won no gun fight parading around they tried that didnt they . Just ask the British when they withdrew out of Lexington and Concorde back to Boston in 1776 .......By the way all the fighting was done by Militia on that day...................no regulars

@davidwarner33264 жыл бұрын
While marching at present saber (sword), the right arm is swung naturally (nine inches to the front and six inches to the rear) in a vertical plane, flexing the wrist to keep the tip of the blade level (about six inches) above the marching surface. This requires extending the wrist on the forward movement and elevating the wrist on the rearward movement.

@@davidwarner3326 Wrong and Wrong. The manual of the sword for the US Military clear the sword arm DOES NOT SWING during present arms WHILE MARCHING. Never has never will. Not only that but the Old Guard has propensity to violate 22-5 in other ways as well. Tomb sentries have of late gone to swinging the right leg out to make heal clicks louder during halts while marching their post. This is another specific example of violating 22-5. So not only are you wrong you're very wrong...and here is the proof. Pass in Review for President Obama...notice the Army officers don't swing the sword during present arms during passes in review...neither does anyone else. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abtphaaTzdKXhJs.html

I served in the 82nd Airborne Division from 1982-1984 prior to being assigned to the 3RD herd from 84-86 ! I served in A and B Companies while in the TOG! The Annual Division review held at Fort Bragg is with Bayonets fixed! 15,000 soldiers passing in review and most carrying their M16A2's with Fixed bayonets except for the M6o machine gunners who carried the MG with the sling over their shoulders. While in Alaska from 87-91 we marched with Bayonets fixed during ceremonies and pass in reviews ! I often wondered about that during parades on Summerall when the announcer would say TOG was the only unit authorized to march with bayonets fixed during Pass In Review and parades !
