Weapons control we can live with. http://www.whc.net/rjones/USN/USN_team.html Pfffhhhtt..... Marine Corps Silent Drill Team is better. Squids.... The Army's Old Guard puts them all to shame. I don't understand the purpose of these displays. Are they part of recruitment programs? Maybe the audience was parents of graduating recruits. The only time I saw drill exhibitions was at graduation. Close order marching with the requisite rifle movement was the order of the day when I was in, but I do recall one guy in our company who had all the rifle spinning down pat. I don't remember that he drilled with a separate unit, and think he picked it up in HS ROTC. And I don't recall seeing rifle exhibitions when I was in boot camp. Somewhere there's an Admiral or Captain who likes this stuff, and it's his pet project. --Vic Pomp and circumstance, I guess. Hey, I can understand military rifle and handgun competitions, and survival competitions, and just about anything promoting and building the skills needed to survive battle or posting to hostile territory. The more training and skill promotion for that, the better. Discipline in one area carries over to other areas. Yes, I am sure the ability to twirl one's rifle helps one avoid IEDs. Focusing on the task at hand with attention to detail. |
