During AIT one of my drills twisted his ankle on a platoon run during PT and felt humiliated thereafter. I can only imagine how bad that drill felt passing out at the worst time.

he got crap for it but learned a valuable lesson of following directions

[@robd8713]

I love they just let him lay there until it was done.

[@amunra8806]

That’s called “leaving an impact on the Depot”

Durinf inspection at rotc in highschool, freshman yearz i locked my knees. I remember wverything starting to go black and my head was light, and i started to loose my balance. I could barley breath.

I was Army, & my parents were at my graduation in August. They said a soldier was falling about every 2 minutes. My mother was angry that people didn't stop everything & help the soldiers who passed out. We basically had to fill their spaces and dress properly whilst they filled or were carried to the rear.

You cant fucking do anything at attention unless parade rest or at ease

[@jj987987987]

@@KellerJay what about fainting? What do you think the guy was doing in the position of attention in this video?

[@cakebruh1838]

Basically to make sure in today's comments which there won't be a full blown war here. The guy that had fainted in the video had either A, locked his knee's, or B. Had a heat stroke, which although most heat strokes would have nausea and puking before passing out at some occasions, most of the time your body just gives way and collapses. And because this is a military graduation ceremony, most of the men there can't do anything except remain at attention and wait until the ceremony is over. It is nobody's fault and in the end stages of the video a medic, NCO, and the DI himself all came over to give him medical attention and generally check up on him to make sure he wasn't dead. I know I sound like a nerd, but trust me. This is only here because I don't want no commenting wars in this specific comment.
