Yeah these are special soldiers :salute

this goes into what a tomb soldier goes through in a day. After the commercial it starts. Pretty neat behind the scenes.

Post by: ebfd11 on March 30, 2010, 12:14:02 PM: Jebus, I will have to admit that the tomb soliers are kick bellybutton and they deserve all the respect in the world. I know what it is like to stand guard at a memorial for 2 hours and ther POA makes you more tired than 2 hours of physical exertion.

But IMO the Marine Corps Silent Drill Team is the schiznit. If I remember correctly they are the only ones to use "live" bayonets in their routine.

They are the best at drill for sure, but Tomb soldiers are a completely different category.

They actually have contingencies already choreographed for these types of things. Like if someone gets their cover knocked off, for example.
