The good thing is that I am doing Honor Guard at my high school. We have the Air Force JROTC. I can march but I have a lot of training to do if I'm going to do this.
Air Force Honor Guard rocks!!!! Special class of military. I used to train CAP Color Guard & was very fortunate to be able to work with the USAF Honor Guard. This is what CAP Cadets should strive to be, it can be done.......
These special people represent our country all over the world. They are the first ones to welcome foreign dignitaries when they arrive. They honor their fallen comrades with dignity. It's more than just a job to them, it's an honor & a privilege they treasure. Their precision and attention to detail is incredible. Watching them makes me proud to be an American.
Watch the videos of honor guards from other nations. There's no comparison. Our precision and uniformity stand out. We win hands down.
@huntercoolican bitch fuck you. the cannon fodder ought to be used in cannons, not singing and dancing like Hajis in a desert with toys guns. What does all this bullshit prove. Any of these dudes ever seen combat?
@ObamaTheRealLoser This is a special duty, not a primary AFSC (mos). These guys could very well see, or could very well have seen combat. Most honor guard tours only last a few years, after which they either cross train into another AFSC or go back to their original AFSC's. Its not about being a mindless drone or proving anything.
air force keeps their shit looking fresh, i would have joined usaf but the marine corps is just to bad ass to pass up. going to paris island in few months
@bubbacouture318 I'm in AFJROTC right now and the other drill team members look at me for help with rifle spinning, this makes me look like some 3 year old with how clean it is
@RandomSpeakage the primary purpose of honor guard is that we give honors to those who served during funerlas. Funerls for our vets,retirees, and activce duty who are KIA get military honors provide by our honor guard. Thats is our main purpose, Honor guard funerals take priority to all things we do besides real world duty.
@RandomSpeakage here is a better reason fm a marine: To uphold the sacred traditions of the United States Marine Corps. To represent the core values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment. To maintain discipline and standardization of drill commands by instilling habits of precision and response to an order , which will also facilitate a commander or non-commissioned officer to move his or her unit from one place to another. To render honors, preserve tradition, and to stimulate Esprit de Corps
wow go air force..... and i am in the air force. but, the marines are very good as well and there uniform is flawless i love any member of the air force and other military branch we are all one if there is competition lets make it friendly...
@Seashepherdfan Well, duh! The Air Force Honor Guard practices from 0700 - 1800! They get paid to do this and receive excellent instruction. CAP is volunteer, the cadets are primarily teenagers, and nobody in the organization has an adequate system to teach standardized exhibition drill. There may be pockets of competence here and there, but on the whole, they are destined to suck. I am active duty Air Force and attended the CAP Honor Guard Academy a few years ago.
@Seashepherdfan Dude, you have no idea who you insulted. Civil Air Patrol is USAF's auxilary. There are many senior members and cadets you just insulted. I'm a Civil Air Patrol member. You are a disgrace. Basically you insulted the Air Force. I can't believe you live in America.
@GamersUnitedX that wasn't an insult you idiot, I'm in cap aswell. He (who is me) was just saying that these honorable service members do such a great job training 10 hrs a day vs the 1 hr a day. Go to mexico you retard.
@huntercoolican >.> You should of made the comment more clearly. Like Civil Air Patrol's color guard is good but the Air Force's is great as well. >.>
@Seashepherdfan The United States Air Force Civil Auxiliary Department is a rep basically. The Civil Air Patrol is a Representation of the Air Force, Hell there are some member of CAP, that served in the USAF. So in 2 words: FUCK-YOU!!!!!!
@Seashepherdfan Heh, tell that to my squadron. I graduated from the CAP Honor Guard Academy which was led by the Air Force Honor Guard, and when I go back to my squadron and see them perform rifle maneuvers, I just want to puke.
Yeah, it's that bad.
But I love the Honor Guard with all my heart, and it instills a sense of patriotism that you can't get from too many other places. God Bless the Air Force and God Bless the United States of America.
@gasman681 you evidently do not know anything about the air force. The air force is probably one of the main reasons why we win wars. The spec ops community in the AF is very small but its the reason why victories are made, they deliver air power to the field to save the grunts on the ground. They are dedicated to what they do so please dont make any dumb comments like that again
eeeeeeeeeeeeee i love the military air force is my fav branch nice my i am in civil air patrol my kernel was in honor guard shocking drill i wanna do that someday cross into the blue
I'm sorry if this question is ignorant in any way but, can officers be in the drill team? Just wondering, because I'm thinking of joining ROTC but I would really love to one day try out for the drill team. It would be an honor. Thank you :)
eiram92 - officers cannot be IN the drill but they can CALL the drill. this to say, an officer would be the person in charge of the drill and would carry the sabre.
yes, there are officers in the Honor Guard, very few though. lately the Drill Team flight leader have been at the rank of Captain, there's two of them that i know of
Ive done my share of Honors and Patriots but these guys are the best! Props to the Elite Honor Guard! USAF loves you guys! Your the best and the utmost of military bearing, its a peace of art, really!
no u dont have to learn how to spin to fly u do however need to get a bachelors degree and get commisioned as an officer and no it doesnt take ages to learn when i was in high school i learned how to spin in a matter of weeks
that spinning the weapons looks quite difficults and doesnt look easy. In order to become a pilot in the usaf have you got te be able to do this spinning the gun trick. that must take ages to learn properly
BTW, I am an Air Force veteran with over 20 years of service and have served in special operations as a Combat Controller. Before you comment, make sure you know what you are talking about and have at least SOME knowledge and first hand experience in what the REAL purpose of an organization is about!
They are qualified air traffic controllers who deploy into combat zones and manage air operations like air strikes, reconnaissance and other air support for gorund forces. The training is extremely hard and is similar to that of the Navy SEALs, Air Force Pararescue and other special operations units.

@MrTetsujin You have my utmost respect. You, TACP, and Pararescue are among the most unsung of heroes. Most people don't have a clue of what is required in training and deployed. I would have loved to be any one of the three but it was not an option for me. I was an aircraft weapons specialist for the A-10 and F-16. I think about people like you all the time but memorial day brings a strong sense of gratitude. Thank you for your service to our country,
@MrTetsujin Think you can tell me a little about the CCT? I plan on doing that when i enlist, well i think i am, i don't know how everything goes down.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Too funny, these mind controlled robots wouldn't recognize "honor" if it slapped them in the face. Have you noticed our skies these last 10 years or so, these pukes are spraying aerosols into our atmosphere 24/7. Better known as chemtrails here on youtube, have a look. Oh and where were our brave fly boys on 911 when the supposed cave dwellers were attacking...lol
Wow, that's pretty low. Where were any of our armed forces on 9/11? Oh yeah, that's right, we were attacked by surprise. Before you blame the military for what happened that day why don't you do some research into what the government agencies (namely the FBI) were doing about it at that time. If anyone screwed up it was the government bureaucracy. The military is efficient and decisive in obtaining their objectives. The government...not so much.
its all a matter of looking good for the public but really the military has a strong tradition of honor and duty... even the air force pay respect to the dead etc. thats why the air force has an honor guard
you sound like a newbie, .. just do it, then you won't have to make another choice for 4-6 years. get pregnant and married so you can move off base when you're still an airman. officers make more money but are goobers.
Did I ever say it was? lol typical to jump down someones throat and having NO clue on what they are talking about. All i said was I enjoy it and met good people. So thanks for wasting my time reading a non educated comment...PAL..
With all due respect, I salute everything that involves the military. I like the way the Air Force guards did those moves! I wonder if there is something like this in the Malaysian Air Force. But unfortunately the Malaysian Air Force does not do honour guards. They just march. Tally ho! (what does 'tally ho' means?)
those are some cool tricks but if thats your idea of honor then you need to by yourself a dictionary. choreographed marching and twirling guns isn't honor...
My family has all served in the Army or Marine Infantry but they all tell me they love the Air Force. I plan on being the first officer in the fam when i join.
UCF? Nice. I still have a little to go but im aiming for the University of Illinois at Chicago. They have Army ROTC. Do they have a ROTC over at UCF and which Rotc program are you in (AFROTC NROTC ARMY)?
UIC has Army ROTC. Im still split between going Army Infantry like my family members or being a trailblazer in the Air Force as a Security Forces member.You can transfer military branches after ROTC right? Cuz I know ppl do that with the military academies. What are you going for in the AF?
I think you can but i think you can only become an officer in the branch you went into ROTC for, but i'm not entirely sure, you'll have to look into that, as for me I'm plan on going into Aerospace Engineering.
well "psycho"... with no disrespect to the USMC drill platoon, you are wrong in your analogy. The USMC drill platoon is NOT silent. The members rely on the sounds they create in every movement to enhance their counting ability which gives them the synchronicity you appreciate. So, "uh no" psycho. UNLESS you are referring to the music playing here on youTube in the background! haha
Also, The USAF Honor Guard drill team has been deemed the best. Which is why they do not compete (sp?) at the annual Armed Forces drill team competition. Only the Army, Marines, and Coast Guard drill teams compete. Or at least that is what i read up on. I wouldn't doubt it is right though.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME roflmfao marines drop their rifles ALL THE TIME!!!! hahahaha they cant even do the guantlet and when they try to do it it looks HORRIBLE compared to air force.. look up drill team mistakes and youll see marines first lmao!!! hahaha
dt, When you sign up for the military, you are given an MOS which is a designation for your particular military duty. If you volunteer for additional special duty (Drill Team), you still are required to maintain your military MOS. By the way were you in the military? If you were, then you know that ALL military are required to answer the call when needed. If you weren't, thank the next man/woman you see in uniform for their service protecting us all.
no spinning rifles is not the definition of honor but the precision it takes to do these moves takes time dedication practice and respect all coming back to honor
The USAF HG serves the perpose of recruting and retention, as well as to teach fellow airmen about what it means to be a leader, and what airmnship is. They personify the perpose of the USAF through precision, dedication, practice, and teamwork. The HG preforms the demonstration, then meets the audiance, and talks to them about the USAF.
That doesn't say it all. Honour Guards don't honour themselves. They're called out when honour and respect is to be paid to others: visiting heads of state, repatriations, etc. Spinning a rifle isn't about honour, spinning a rifle is about recruiting. So when you say: "This is our definition" and then show spinning rifles...you haven't defined honour.
I'm not knocking the guard, I'm knocking the verbage of the video.
I understand where you're coming from. However, would you rather see us taking a member to his or her grave, or would you rather see something put on for show, such as the Drill Team?
omg... before you can even be on the drill team u have to be in the regular honor guard first and do your time in arlington national cemetery honoring our fallen heroes.. please stop with the ignorant comments
You missed my point. Spinning rifles have nothing to do with honour, so the video makes no sense. I'm not insulting the AF Honor Guard, I'm saying the video's title is dumb. "This is how we define honor *twirling rifles*". That'd be like me making a video saying "This is how I define government *video of a squirrel running around*" Spinning rifles are NOT a definition of Honor, hence the video is silly.
PS. My post was months old. No reason to go digging it up.
OOORAH!! CAN BE FOR EVERYBODY!! Except The Sailor who betrayed his country, Abu Jihaad by giving ship movements away to the enemy. He got just 10 years in a time of War. I say let the Honor Guard use bayonets on his ass!!

its all a matter of looking good for the public but really the military has a strong tradition of honor and duty... even the air force pay respect to the dead etc. thats why the air force has an honor guard

Thats all very pretty but wtf good is it going to do during a war, especially since their the airforce using PLANES.

you sound like a newbie, .. just do it, then you won't have to make another choice for 4-6 years. get pregnant and married so you can move off base when you're still an airman. officers make more money but are goobers.

With all due respect, I salute everything that involves the military. I like the way the Air Force guards did those moves! I wonder if there is something like this in the Malaysian Air Force. But unfortunately the Malaysian Air Force does not do honour guards. They just march. Tally ho! (what does 'tally ho' means?)

First of all sorry for replying so late, i was at a friends house for a couple days lol, and yes UCF dose have AFROTC im guessing UOI also has AF?

UIC has Army ROTC. Im still split between going Army Infantry like my family members or being a trailblazer in the Air Force as a Security Forces member.You can transfer military branches after ROTC right? Cuz I know ppl do that with the military academies. What are you going for in the AF?
TheJoelsanchez 2 years ago
I think you can but i think you can only become an officer in the branch you went into ROTC for, but i'm not entirely sure, you'll have to look into that, as for me I'm plan on going into Aerospace Engineering.

pscho1008 2 years ago
well "psycho"... with no disrespect to the USMC drill platoon, you are wrong in your analogy. The USMC drill platoon is NOT silent. The members rely on the sounds they create in every movement to enhance their counting ability which gives them the synchronicity you appreciate. So, "uh no" psycho. UNLESS you are referring to the music playing here on youTube in the background! haha

Also, The USAF Honor Guard drill team has been deemed the best. Which is why they do not compete (sp?) at the annual Armed Forces drill team competition. Only the Army, Marines, and Coast Guard drill teams compete. Or at least that is what i read up on. I wouldn't doubt it is right though.

dt, When you sign up for the military, you are given an MOS which is a designation for your particular military duty. If you volunteer for additional special duty (Drill Team), you still are required to maintain your military MOS. By the way were you in the military? If you were, then you know that ALL military are required to answer the call when needed. If you weren't, thank the next man/woman you see in uniform for their service protecting us all.

So....honor is defined by spinning rifles? I don't see how spinning rifles are a definition of anything...
I like the USAF Honor Guard's shows, but I don't understand this video.
dtjohnst 2 years ago
no spinning rifles is not the definition of honor but the precision it takes to do these moves takes time dedication practice and respect all coming back to honor
yournameheresch 2 years ago
The USAF HG serves the perpose of recruting and retention, as well as to teach fellow airmen about what it means to be a leader, and what airmnship is. They personify the perpose of the USAF through precision, dedication, practice, and teamwork. The HG preforms the demonstration, then meets the audiance, and talks to them about the USAF.

DT, Did you notice the medal they were wearing? They are the NATIONAL DEFENCE RIBBON. That says it all. Chief Mac
Chiefmac77 2 years ago
That doesn't say it all. Honour Guards don't honour themselves. They're called out when honour and respect is to be paid to others: visiting heads of state, repatriations, etc. Spinning a rifle isn't about honour, spinning a rifle is about recruiting. So when you say: "This is our definition" and then show spinning rifles...you haven't defined honour.
I'm not knocking the guard, I'm knocking the verbage of the video.

I understand where you're coming from. However, would you rather see us taking a member to his or her grave, or would you rather see something put on for show, such as the Drill Team?

joeywatson15 2 years ago
You missed my point. Spinning rifles have nothing to do with honour, so the video makes no sense. I'm not insulting the AF Honor Guard, I'm saying the video's title is dumb. "This is how we define honor *twirling rifles*". That'd be like me making a video saying "This is how I define government *video of a squirrel running around*" Spinning rifles are NOT a definition of Honor, hence the video is silly.
PS. My post was months old. No reason to go digging it up.
