I just tried googling it. It *was* called the "96 Count Manual" but I
couldn't find any examples or videos of it. Apparently it is no longer
done in boot camp.

All I remember was the march music playing and you lifted that rifle
over your head three times, then straight out 3 times, then to the left,
the right, down and whatever ... over and over and over until you
reached the count of 96. Then you started all over again. After a
half hour (or more if your company commander was sadistic) it got tough
to lift the damn thing over your head.

The one we had close to that was "high port", basically double time
with your rifle over your head.



We called that the "goon squad".
