Squared away drill there. British infantry here. an approximate equivalent in British regiments is the slow march. Search for " Trooping the Colour slow march"

This is the very best formation of drilling Marines and have ever seen. I’ve watched many different platoons going through their silent drill routines but this is the most intricate of them all. Well done Marines and Semper Fi Brothers. ❤️🇺🇸

[@snappers_antique_firearms]

When you look at the lower enlisted. Its amazing that they most likely have only been in the Marines a year maybe 2

[@charles1203]

Yes, they are all grunts between 6’1-6’3 selected right out of SOI, this is a two year billet ranging from the marching 24 to inspection team to inspector. I told one former member once, a coach teaching individual Marines grunt stuff preparing them before going off to Afghanistan. The only move I get crazy about as in how do you do it because I know that M-1 is heavy at 9.5 pounds how the inspector throws that rifle back to the first marine he inspects and how does he catch it. Imagine a 9 and a half pound bar being thrown at you flipping and you have to catch it and not hyper extend your arm. That coach told me, you just do it.

[@seanh2390]

doesn’t take too long to learn drills like this … just practice, practice, and more practice

[@gregstockero1476]

To @snappers antique firearms the Pfcs (one stripe) and Lance Corporals (one stripe with crossed rifles) are chosen from the top graduates of the infantry training schools from Camp Pendleton and Lejeune. They've only been in a year but can be promoted early based on proficiency and conduct marks. It takes up to two years to make Corporal and four for Sergeant.

[@Grid56]

That's a lot of moves to remember! I love the sound of those old rifles hitting the deck, and their hands must hurt hitting the stock hard enough to make a loud sound.

[@semoneg2826]

Yes it is..hats off to these guys

[@davewilson3576]

Son was at 8th&I. They must take a raw gun stock. Then they finish and polish them for the rifles they use. They drop the stock and leave a blemish, and there goes your weekend. You learn not to drop it! 😂. Son got smart and made 2. The rifle drill is learned by every member, and the inspector just picks someone. The loud slap is caused by jarring the bolt mechanism of the rifle itself (functional). That's a good lick, and they are wearing gloves! They're the kind of guys you'd want in a fight, but not to date your daughter.

[@b111372]

That "Phalynx" form at 4.32 gets me

[@johncox2284]

One thing to consider is the level of close order drill instruction Marines get right at the beginning in boot camp. If you watch a graduation parade of marines they are amazingly sharp and coordinated.

[@davewilson3576]

Former Marine and Father of 8th&I Marine. Actually, they have to unlearn much of it. Their cadence is different. The way they step is different. The Marines you saw graduate are sharp as razors, but also unencumbered with anything sans their uniform. Th 8th&I Marines are wearing dress blues (5 sets that the Marine pay for) are modified (again, they pay for) to allow certain movements. Once they depart, the uniforms are unsat and can not be worn except for burial. The functional rifles weigh 10 1/2 lbs, and their steps still just glide.

[@johncox2284]

[@davewilson3576]

My Son was stationed at 8th &I Barracks D.C. I moved nearby to Annapolis for work. I'm a former Marine. These young, most 18-19 are fresh out of boot, taken to CA, then to the Barracks. My Son arrived on Thanksgiving. His platoon Sgt picked up the arrivals and treated them to his home and dinner. I'd visit the Barracks, and from a Marine viewpoint, my Corps was very alive in each of these Marines. Semper Fi

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

I am a Navy veteran and retired Army 1SG. When I arrived at San Diego Recruit Training Command, there was a Senior Chief waiting for me when everyone got off the bus. He asked if I wanted to be in a drill company. After explaining the advantages of doing so (they did parades, football games, baseball games, etc., I said yes. I was made the “crack rifle RCPO”. I loved being in front of the crowd doing just this right here. But, once in the Army…we did more retirement and pass and reviews than was humanly possible. Standing at parade rest and attention wears you out.

[@donaldhollingsworth3875]

I always love watching the Marine Corps silent drill teams. As a former Marine I only got to watch them once when I was stationed at Camp LeJuene, NC. The part when the Marine lost his cover is considered a violation, it is a part of the recovery process & practiced to keep the platoon in cadence. Also notice that the bayonet is always removed before passing the rifle to the platoon commander. And take a close look at the Marine who gives up his rifle always gets it back through a several of complicated maneuvers. The Army can not compare to the Marine Corps in the silent drill team. The Army uses a vocal cadence for their drill team that in my humble opinion is completely unnecessary. Also, the silent drill team plans for unforeseen complications while keeping the platoon in cadence. The best way to put the Marine Corps silent drill teams above every one else is their dedication to duty & silent timing through counting & slaps against their rifles along with the rifles hitting the ground.

Its the same five movements repeated over and over with a different drill movement to accompany the action. Once the five rifle drill movements are mastered, it is simple to put them to drill movements.
