Looks like they're still using the '06 Springfields - or replicas.
Not bad, but I'd like to see them do a little marching.
A few left and right obliques, and a counter-march or two.
Then maybe some time in the scullery, just to keep them sharp.

Funny now, but not when it happened. Well, was still sort of funny then.
Basic training at Lackland AFB, and I am a squad leader. So I am at the
front, early on a Saturday morning. Cold, brain and body go to sleep while
marching. Am sleepwalking. I guess the TI called a right oblique, but
Calif Bill was about 150 yards from the formation when they got him woke up
and stopped. Still going in a straight line. Even Sgt. Boisell had to sort
of laugh at the situation. figured if not the squad leader, ody may have
followed guy in front.
