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.

minus-squareubergeeklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 hours agoAnyone 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.
