    i don’t give a shit either way but it makes far more sense that it was in protest than that all of those soldiers are too incompetent to march properly. insisting it must be incompetence because you want to think bad things about the us military is the real cope.

        D&C is used daily by the US Army, to move personnel from point A to point B. During running. During inspections. During pass and reviews.

        15 years out, and “9 to the front and 6 to the rear” is still drilled into my head. Even my “about face” is still solid, while needing some practice.

          This depends a lot on your branch and unit. Many many people never do a pass and review or any type of inspection other than counting inventory. I disagree that marching skills are used during running, that’s freeform.

            Anyone who has served longer than 3 years has done a pass and review.

            Anyone who has been to a perm duty station has had a class A inspection.

            Anyone who has ever served has marched daily, in formation, from point A to point B.

            Double time is a marching speed, aka running, and you have to run in step.
