HMKG 2008: Drill in First Person View, Part 3

[IdleBystander1]

How did you get permission to film instead of participate as normal?

[Thrusthamster]

I asked. The Lieutenant smiled and said "I'd like to see that" and walked away. :-)

[logitechg20]

was your mistake at 6:39?

where your moved your bode to the left early?

[Thrusthamster]

Haha, yeah, that's one of them. I turned too early earlier in the drill also, during the silent drill. It was very different doing it without the rifle, so I got distracted a couple of times. :-p

[logitechg20]

:D i saw them.

i wish we in germany would have such great drillteams:)

there are two things i wish to know,

the name of the march that is played at the end.

and the part 1 die name of the drum part when you start marching.

[Thrusthamster]

I don't remember the name of the last song, but the first drum part is the King's Guards "Drum March" I remember we called it. Whenever they're marching and not playing a song, they "fill in" with the drum march. In this case the drum march is relieved by the March of the King's Guard, which is the first song. :-)

[jcupjohansson]

@Thrusthamster You are referring to "mellanmarsch" right? The correct naming in English would be "drum cadence". Great pov!

[jcupjohansson]

@logitechg20 The drum cadence in the very end is called "Gutten" :-)

[SiJac]

@logitechg20 The last march is the swedish march "Avanti per Patria", by Sam Rydberg.

Stilig video, Thrusthamster - veldig bra! Og kudos til befalet som lot deg gjøre det.

[HMKGman1]

Hvilke kamera bruker man?

[Thrusthamster]

Jeg brukte mitt gamle Panasonic NV-GS120. Kvaliteten er rimelig nedskalert så video laster litt fort på Youtube da.

[redmuzam]

nice video. Cloverfield style.

I was planning on going to the army for 1 year before going to university, but this is probably not happening. There is no room for an IB kid in the army. I probably wouldnt fit in.

[Thrusthamster]

Well, in one way I fit with this platoon because of that extreme ambition that comes with doing something like this (you know, going from never having used a rifle to this in a few months). But after having been in the IB for some time, it was refreshing to be in this "get it done, right now" and "quit whining" atmosphere. I definitely liked the military, the stuff I liked most of all was the typical military stuff.

But in many other ways I didn't fit in though. :-)

[redmuzam]

I might just join the canadian reserve, where its part time army only. You get called to duty only if canada gets attacked. I wont have to go to afganistan or anything.

[Thrusthamster]

I'm going to apply for the Norwegian Home Guard's Special Forces next year, it's sort of the same thing, part time only, and as far as I know (a lot of secrecy about that unit) they only have a defensive purpose as well. I love doing that stuff, it's a dream of mine to have that as a part time job (which is essentially is). :-)
