Thank you! I went to the school during the '67-'68 school year & I always wondered why the school didn't produce a tape or DVD of the drill as a P.R. and recruiting tool. I'll never forget how to march that way, even though it was forbidden to practice it if you weren't a Squad God!!! Have you got one of the Wooden Soldiers(St. Mary's girls)? Do they still drill? They were also very impressive to watch!

Thanks,

C.L.C. '69

Yes, my sister did the wooden soldiers. I have two videos of that. Just search under my login. They still do wooden soldiers today.

I could have sworn that was CS from 1973, Anker Henningsen and James Pabst (Captain) and some other Shads who's names I don't remember. I saw another clip where they fired the rifle through the window to start the ceremony (The middle pane was removed years ago just for that!) Brought back memories of smelling corn fritters cooking outside while walking in -40F temps to mess hall, eating at Pizza Hut and hearing Jim Croce singing Bad Bad Leroy Brown on juke box. Oh well, old days are gone,,,,,.

I remember the 81 Squad. They were GREAT! : )

seriously, the discipline, the style, and the drill layout, suggest to me the late 1970s...

I was a Squaddie 93-96 and would love to see more video if it is out there. This is great but doesn't include the most impressive manuals, high tosses or when we fired.
