Going the e-mail rounds. These guys are good.
Were the rifles loaded all the time, and fired at 04:00 ? Wonder why they didn't discharge much earlier.
How can they walk (march) on ice without a slip? They must not have leather soles on.
"River Dance" with Boots And Rifles
This is the Norwegian Royal Guard Regiment (equivalent to the British and Canadian Guards regiments). These guys give the USMC Band and Honor Guard and the Army's 1 BN 3d Infantry (The Old Guard) a run for their money. It is interesting how a cheesy Hollywood theme (from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly") can sound impressive when played by an elite military band.
I can't remember ever seeing a display of precision to beat this! All of this is being performed on ICE!
Those are US made Garand M-1 rifles (WWII), and they are heavy weapons (9 POUNDS EACH) also, known for its balance!!
When that one fellow goes on his own
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A RIFLE SPUN THAT FAST!
Unbelievable!

That rifle looked like a propeller. I wonder how many hours they practice every week?

I guess if you pick up that rifle once or twice a year, it may seem heavy to you, but after 11 weeks of boot camp, it wasn't heavy at all.

:thumbup: :thumbup: That they did. :-D
I was a member of the "Olde Guard" back in the 60s. One of the hardest things to get right during PCOD (precision Close Order Drill) is having everybody take the same stride length. Get that down and everything else falls into place. We practiced at least 3 hours a day, even when we were on manouvers (we were an INFANTRY outfit). When we walked around our squad bay we had to walk "the walk". I'm 67 now and still stand ramrod straight.

Just thought you might get a kick out of this, if you like Figure Skating - Riverdance On Ice - And He Won!!!

there is an Irish group of women that do precision dance and sing that I like to watch, I can't think of their name but will look it up and post it on OPP
Here's the big question. Can they pick off a diaper head at 3/4 mile? :shock: :lol:
