@skysky535 dude it doesnt matter if your a sophomore or freshman im from summerlin academy in bartow and im a sophomore and i can tell u now i can take most seniors or anyone out there it just matters how much u practice and get it right
seriously dude you don't even know the guy he could have been a freaken MP and the title says boring in Iraq.... not everyone stationed over there is in the battlefield.
all you dumbaas whips that have never been in a war at all. ANYTHING and i do mean ANYTHING you can do to take your mind off even just for a few seconds is worth it. Carry on marine do what you have to do to keep sane.
@ErlendAnderson Why the hell would he do that. Loading and taking it off safety would mean that he has a hot weapon. Meaning he is ready to engage a target. That was a dumb ass comment.
@ErlendAnderson Lol, doing that would give you two REALLY BAD dangers. 1. It goes off and someone died. 2. The sergeant sees you being a dumbass.... then, yeeeeaaaa, I think you get the idea.... lol
i'm agreeing with theboredkorean Who the hell cares about bearing in one of these videos. I am a junior in AFJROTC i am a fairly gifted armed drill member. and i can tell you right now no one gives a shit if during a random video if you have bearing. I'll tell ya give him an m1 or a 1903 and i bet he can show yer ass up. M16's are weighted very weird so he is very gifted to be able to still do that. Also sounds to me like you are a freshy or sophomore at best so shut the fuck up digital
@skysky535 wow dawg, i didnt know people took this stuff that seriously. Bartow, right? yeah, idk where that is, but im from San antonio. I guess my favorite part of drill is uh... goin to all the comps stoned off my ass and getting 1st in solos. thats always fun. i dont like how sophmores kiss ass though. drill drill drill, all they talk about. kiss my ass and ask me, "whats youre secret?"... shit nigga, i cant tell you that haha. Id go back to Alternative school, know what im sayin?

@wolffoxtodd that's def. not a m16a2. and if i was in his position, i wouldnt show this. he has no type of bearing. im in hs, and our bearing when we do armed ex is WAAAAAY better than this
@digital200 Ey douchebag, it is a M16A2 he is spinning, and who gives a butt fuck if your in Armed Exhibition, Im in NJROTC, so dont tell me that bearing bullshit, as you can see in the description, just demonstrating not performing. This video was upload in 07. We are in high school, 2010+, means during 07 til now, kids have got more creative so if you say your team is WAAAAAY better than him, thats cause he's been out of school for a while now. Just think before you speak.
@TheBoredKorean dude i'm with ya. i'm NJROTC too and i'm on a drill team and we've made a shit load of videos where were just fuckin around. one was where this guy trys a shoulder toss to a guy who was forty feet away, and the guy doesnt catch it ahha ya shoulda heard the smack this springfield made, split it right down the hand gaurd haha
@digital200 if im remembering right its an m16a2 standard service rifle and the marine corps has silent drill platoons where there do this for crowds to show the extent of their discipline. dont mean to come off as a jerk, just thought id tell you
@satansabitch I am in marching band. I play sax my girlfriend is on color guard and their rifles are like feathers. I am a beast at exhibition drill on the drill team at my school.
so was he formerly part of the Marching Twenty-Four at some point in his Corps career or was he just wanting to be? I've seen the silent drill platoon in action and they are awesome!
I totally understand what this is about, free time. UGH. Check out AfghanArchy "Functions Test" on YouTube too, and you'll know, we feel your pain. :D
@Starpigs92 People like you make me fucking sick, if a guy is wearing BDU's he's automatically in the ARMY? Wow just go kill yourself, the man is in the USMC, fucking dumbass piece of shit.
Is there a special job you need to have in order to learn that? And also what type of female friendly jobs are there available? I wanna do something other than electronics.
@motownisretarded Its called exhibition, if you were in a JROTC/ROTC program you could have been in the Armed team,and thats what they do, they spin the rifles.
What have Americans got against germans. They are very strict about nazis now. Heck! You can get arrested for doing a hitler impression! THEY ARE NOT NAZIS!!!!!!!!!
@enesorhan1995 we all have our own thoughts, its not like he was killing anyone in that video. calm down, take a breath, feel the peace flow through you. It was just fun messing around. besides if you dont like us, dont look for us.
I've been a military brat pretty much my whole life. Haha. I've been in military school for God know how long, and I just got put back in public schools, and I had to be part of the drill team when I was in military school... It isn't as easy as it looks.
wow, im not on the armed drill team, but that kinda looked a bit, sloppy, it was cool though :D even if he was bored, it did look like he was practicin for a competition!
me too, but bs u do those kind of spins, he was doing like triple aerials and shit, good luck to that. last kid on our team to attempt that is wicked jacked, for a hs football player even haha, and he dropped it and put a hole in the gym floor.
its called the silent drill platoon he aint no fuckin jack ass in rotc hes overseas waiting out the boring ass shit of everyday life that happens to be apart of the war.
@pinin9000 Colorguard do NOT spin rifles, Colorguard do the flags like the way you see at the football games when 4 cadets or soldiers "present colors", 2 with flags & 2 that are escorts,but they NEVER spin.
I'd show this kid a neat trick by taking the rifle and just smashing the butt into his face.
