@DrillMasterTraining Thanks! We were a dedicated core of cadets back then....memories for a lifetime.

[djjohnnie]

What an excellent well deserved 1st place drill performance! Thanks again for all your contributions! I miss those 1903's.

[djhelladef]

@djjohnnie thanks!

Jeez, no wonder you yanks are so warlike if you are brought up on this shit.

The tossers that did the Mai Lai massacre were playing soldiers like this just a few months before.

What is all the effing screaming about? Do American girls get off on this?

[daoneanoly1]

damn yall was iight... lol i was jus a lil baby hahaha round that time.... but smh yall was good good job.....

[tftftd3]

this was by far one of the sickest inspections I have ever seen

[djhelladef]

@tftftd3 thanks, this inspection was a throwback to the 84 Liberty Bell where the original version was first performed. I just added my little touches to it (the "dress right dress" move, and the helmet swipe at the end.) be sure and check out Bal's 84 Liberty Bell performance vid i posted.

[suckulant187]

DAMN THAT GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS HAHA I miss bal now dammit those good old days, If only we still had those rifles...

[djhelladef]

haa haa, cool....truth is, it still gives me goose bumps to this day too....many of the guys on this team still remember this drill like it was yesterday :-) and yeah, i wish rifles were still around too....nothing like drilling with a rifle.

@abnpep  hernandez??

[tftftd3]

Stack is so sick. I didn't learn it yet but i can't wait. That's the drill that made me want to join balboa bdt

[djhelladef]

Its one of our signature drills, jus like the inspection. Stack Arms was traditionally done with 3 rifles per stack. I upped the stack to 6 rifles in this comp and it looked even cooler, like a teepee.

[djhelladef]

are you on the team now?

[tftftd3]

I am on Balboa BDT right now.

[jvisperas]
