"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

I like it!  I think we can take something away from that...  Perhaps a new corporate uniform?!?!?:)

Thank you, sir.

I think I saw a similar mating dance on National Geographic.

To borrow a line from The Dirty Dozen "Very pretty General, but can they fight?"  Whats interesting though, is there is obviously a lot of coordination between the two units because a lot of their moves are perfectly coordinated.

This silliness has been going on for over 50 years, even when India and Pakistan were shooting at each other elsewhere, the nightly "closing the gate" ceremony continues.
I guess some of that British Pomp and Circumstance rubbed off...

Well, I would buy one if we could use them for corporal punishment, but in the words of my ex drill instructor;"Cadet L ( he said I was not his Lord and he would never call me that!) You march like a (deity-condemned) Duck!" Somehow the mental image of a duck with a swagger stick is just too painful to imagine. Its funny how those things drill instructors say are so funny in retrospect and so threatening at the time. Ahh, well, maybe a topic for a new thread: "Funniest things a DI ever said to you"

A couple of years ago at the CAWG Encampment The cadet Flight Staff challenged the Tac Officers to a drill down.

You know it's kinda fun making cadets cry! >:D  (The Tacs won.)
