US Army Drill Team

We guard the tomb of the unknown soldier. And our uniforms match.
The U.S. Army Drill Team performs a variety of intricate maneuvers that have extremely high risk factors. One such maneuver is dubbed the "daring front-to-rear overhead rifle toss" and is deserving of such a glorified title. During this dangerous routine, four members of the Drill Team alternately toss their spinning, 10-pound rifles from the front rank to the back, often as high as 15 feet into the air and 15 feet to the rear. Then four Soldiers in the back rank catch the revolving weapons one-handed in a true demonstration of courage and concentration. In most cases, revolution of the rifle ends as the bayonet arcs just past the Soldier's right ear, and the weapon is caught directly over the Soldiers head with his/her arm fully extended.

Marching cadence of the U.S. Army Drill team is 60 steps per minute, considerably slower than regulations march tempo. Timing must be letter perfect, as all routines are performed without vocal cadence or musical cues. Only the team's superb discipline enables its members to continuously challenge fate, and win.

I am jealous that you clowns use 03's, and we use Garands. It should be the other way around. You couldn't figure out how to use the 03, so that's why the Garand came to be, lol. Guadalcanal.................03 rapage.
