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

Thank you, sir.

You just gave me some great ideas for NCC 2010!

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.)
