HAHAHAHA nice music that was stolen from the Royal Australian navy band CD On the Quarterdeck haha

[zestfulbeamer]

@NAVY76 No, the music was done by the RAAF band.

[TheC17A]

WHERE WAS THE HAT

:/

[DawningAge1]

@TheC17A Right at the end when the guy sits down, you can see a lone hat on the ground

[zestfulbeamer]

@TheC17A It fell off during the parade, as it is a parade you cannot move to pick it up unless you are the parade commander or warrant officer.

[waterblaze]

0:43 lol cadet didn't have a hat, why was he allowed to march? pretty good standard of drill though

[zestfulbeamer]

@waterblaze It fell off during the parade.

[tarbyn]

315!

[bigtigers4life]

334 sqn!

anyways, PICK THOSE ARMS UP!

[zmcle8]

there not turning there heads on the wheels

[DawningAge1]

@zmcle8 Turning of the heads seems to be rapidly disappearing as I don't think it's in any of the drill manuals

[zestfulbeamer]

@DawningAge1 The turning of the heads is clearly stated in DI (AF) AAP 5135.001 Manual of Drill.

[DawningAge1]

@zestfulbeamer I know, but people teach from the instructor/student notes not the actual drill manual and I'm fairly sure turning your heads on a wheel isn't mentioned in the instructor notes manual.

[aviationnoitall]

@DawningAge1 On a command, it is, but on parade (like the video above), it's considered an Auto-wheel, so you don't turn you heads

[Gam3rzulu]

@DawningAge1 I think it is, although the Manual of Drill Doesn't specify which foot a wheel is called on, so maybe you are right, but I think its just general concensus around the AAFC, the weird thing is, drill seems to variate acording to wing.

[zestfulbeamer]

@zmcle8 Yes they are.

[MrMovie951]

311 is the best.
