Go Navy

[Pete McCluskey.]

I was impressed with this, I wonder how many lieutenants they lost in practise. US Navy Drill Team

I thought the guys in the Navy that handle land battles and have the need for shoulder weapons were called Marines (I wonder what the Marines think of these guys?). BTW: It keeps the cost of the drill team down if they don't survive long enough to rise above the Lieutenant grade.

Cost uh, "cutting" you know.

Very impressive none-the-less

Boom Boom!:laugh: Navy guys especially the pilots are the immaculately dressed good looking blokes that win all the girls.
Marines are the big ugly blokes that win all the wars. Semper Fi

Geez....what a bunch of fumble-bums! You'd think a complete imbecile could follow a simple order like "shoulder arms", but NOOOOOO.....these fools managed to lose control, dropping their rifles behind them and almost dropping them all the way to the floor at times, for an entire minute before finally managing to get them against their shoulders.

Is there any wonder the U.S. is the laughing stock of the world? If this were a fire-fight, the Taliban would have wiped them all out WAAAY before they even got their fingers on the trigger.......

Ya want some serious firepower, ya gotta call in the Air Force (just don't call in the Blue Angels, those guys can't seem to maintain a formation for any more than a few seconds)!!

Dugly :jester:

Wow. That's a very coordinated drill team. Just like the gals drill team back in high school.

As I was watching I couldn't help but think: wouldn't you feel like an idiot if you dropped your gun, or stabbed the CO in the neck by accident when tossing your gun to the guy standing across from you...

Pete,
We used to do this on my ROTC crew. The trick is to find a squad or two of men out of hundreds that have the eye-hand coordination to execute the moves. Not to be smug, but we did these types of moves eveyday, including practice for funerals.

It's a bit like "riverdance":evil:

Typical military.

The officer stands there and does nothing (or just strolls around) while the privates do all the work.
