U.S. Naval Academy Silent Drill Team the Jolly Rogers performs at Halftime | Texans vs. Commanders

[@rattler7669]

I al a 30 year US army infantryman but the USMC silent drill team can never be beat by any other military in the entire world all countries bow with respect

[@dawnc5797]

This routine is nothing like the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon. They're both fantastic at what they do. Respect to both branches.

[@missyvaz2411]

Respect for our Navy

[@hiimoperator]

I love seaman but seriously the navy is great my uncle served in the navy for 35 years and I would like to serve in the navy when I get out of highschool

[@ronaldross6950]

I have to say that I do like your comment. But the first three words, very bad choice. But I do get you on this fact. I like the Navy as well. They helped the Marines out many times. So, they are our brothers just like all the other in the service. I just wish and pray that our government would know and learn about this.

[@josephwonderless1258]

Get a real good education, study hard, so you can get in an excellent field when you go in.

Well done, Navy. Former Marine here. You guys looked great, but I just can't get past the uniform of the ice cream man. HA! Thank you, gentlemen!!

[@shockysocky5396]

I wanted to be a Marine, but then switched to wanting to become a Navy SEAL, but being called a Marine is soo coool like that man, but of course, it's not about being cool, it's about being humble and committed to the great country and nation of the United States of America

As a former United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon Double Inspector , I’ll give props to their work with the M-14 , And the fact they are in full time Academy students . Not too shabby.. could’ve been a lot “tighter”. And they did copy a lot from us ..Good Show Navy …

There might be future Marines in there.

Even tho, this video is a year one , I still enjoy watching our 🎖️.

[@stoutdog56]

I would have thought the Naval academy could have fielded a larger team, at least 16 men which is the standard. They're good with some precision moves. There is some room for improvement in their routine being a former Navy silent team member in college myself. The best I've seen and competed against was Oregon State (the West Coast Annapolis,) but the 24 man Texas A&M Army team was the most spectular team I ever faced. Their boots and britches uniforms with campaign covers was a magnificent looking uniform that my father a Calvary officer (later Artillery when the horse Calvary was retired) would have loved.

[@noahkohn9350]

It’s not like they’re not at the #1 public college in the country or anything. 🤔 Also, Oregon State and Texas A&M are each at least 5x larger than Navy.

[@NathanOverman]

24 is the standard for a platoon.

[@josephwonderless1258]

I bet you can't even do what they can, college drill teams are amateurs compared to them. These are professional drill teams not college kids. Also the actual military trains a lot more then civilians in college .

[@josephwonderless1258]

@@noahkohn9350 You are right, they are military training for combat not a civilian job. Military discipline is always harder then normal college. The military can't go to there advisors and cry how bad their teachers are.

[@micahgreene4573]

Not to nitpick, but the announcer said no cadence or commands. But at around the 1:09 mark, the commander clearly calls for "mark time, march". Personally, I was wondering how they would know when to stop marching onto the field with no commands.

[@rafaelasabchucalovato9439]

There's rehearsals behind it IMHO. The command would be to start the actual rehearsed routine, the walk on the field being a incognito in terms of traveled distance. This is my opinion as a pro dancer in musical theater and classically trained ballerina. I also might be very wrong 😂

[@Darhead82]

I suspect that the cover drop was symbolic/intentional. It's showing that through all adversity, Marines carry on with the mission. The leader recovering the cover shows that Marines look out for each other and have each other's back. That's how I see it.

You guys are starting off the wrong foot. Cant keep the pace and align yourselves. Y'all had nothing else to take care of at that moment. But i must admit, the rest was pretty tight.

[@1BobsYourUncle]

Ok expert, these guys do this on the side, their full time job is going to school…if you served in the military I’m guessing Air Force. The Navy and Marine Corp start with the opposite foot as the Air Force does.

[@GabTheDrummer]

@@1BobsYourUncle i meant they were off to a rough start as in the beginning they had nothing else to do but the walk at the same pace and align.

[@Hoodratshi559]

Alright bro, why don’t you throw on some dress whites and a rifle and head on out there. Since you’re obviously an expert on this matter go show us how it’s done

[@TheeYellowDart]

Yeah I have to agree. Objectively speaking, one does not need to be an expert to notice that their pace is not in sync. There are other things that are apparent as well, like the rifle angle and position when carried; some are higher or lower than others. I get it, it's hard when the direct comparison to be made is the USMC SDP. The little things add up and overall they aren't as crisp or precise. But they did perform well considering how much practice they and reps they do get.
