I wonder if that SWO hates his job? :icon_tong
Only during rehearsals when he takes a rifle to his head.

Fuckin' A ... I did the same in NROTC -- we "won" the West Coast back in the '60's BECAUSE of our "silent" routine ... the competitors included Stanford, UCal Berkley, UCLA, USC, Oregon, OSU, Washington.My plebe year I was a part of the USNA Silent Drill Team and it's an awesome experience. It takes and incredible amount of work to get to that point. Great job.

It's very studly and takes an INCREDIBLE amount of work to take a bunch of "newbies" and make 'em into a unified/cohesive drill unit -- the actual routine took 5-6 minutes (can't remember), but took 6-7 MONTHS to get it "right" ... complete w/ bayonets, etc, etc, ...
We broke so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o many Springfield '03 stocks ... it makes me wanna cry today. Especially when the entire '03 piece is going for upwards of $1K on many/most auction sites ...
...and Villanova for competition.
What years? We probably drilled against each other...
It was the 03-04 season. I think Nova was 04. As for demil (not Demille for you A4s:icon_wink), they would remove the firing pins and put a lead plug in the barrels so we couldn't fire them. Most of the plugs found their way out though.
an also impressive performance was the USMC Silent drill video (the second one in the related videos after you watch that one)
