LOL, yeah...how embarrassing it must be, poor Limey! Never ceases to amaze me how many folks pass out just standing there for ceremonies. One day, folks might listen and learn and not repeat. Maybe.

It always kinda hurt me to lock my knees for too long. I've only seen one person go down and that was in basic during parade practice.

have you ever stood for one?



The longest stand i had. honestly no moving of your legs head, you move your arms when the command is given. you dont even move your eyes. it was for president fords funeral. about halfway up the capitol building steps while they were carrying him up i was on the right side. blue coastie blouse with a white hat.


2 hours and 37 minutes. anybody beat that? lol

Same here. Rarely ever stand at attention for anything being in submarines though.

You mean Division changes of command? Passes in review? Battalion in-ranks inspections? Would you believe 12.5 years in the Army, and never once?

Of ****** course I have! During every season that Kentucky, Korea, Georgia, and New Mexico could throw at me, much like any other real Soldier.
