2. OK, two more things: When reaching across with the left hand, reach to the base of the right thumb, grasp the flagstaff and bring the left forearm to horizontal (this is around 6-8 inches) while letting go of the staff and dropping arm to Attention. Just FYI, it's what we do in the honor guard. Also, Parade Rest would be Counted:" And, One." "And" being the movement of the right hand up to the flagstaff and "One" being the movement of Parade Rest with everyone else in the proper cadence.
Same man, 2 more days for me, Parris Island bound! I see that during parade rest, the guide in this video doesn't hold the guidon straight out like a Marine Corps guide would do, gotta be 180 degrees
@InUnits Present Arms when doing the morning report, when your LPO(Leader that marches you guys around) Salutes, when the LPO calls present arms, when a color guard passes by, when being awarded a meatball pennant, when a the National Ensign passes by, when doing an eyes right.
I’m in NJRotc, seaman apprentice (it’s the beginning of my freshman year) and they’re having me be guidon for our annual inspection and the parade in November and I have literally never done this before I’m so scared
instead of regular grip it is called strong grip instead of taco grip it is called v grip To present arms, it is different from different units the Navy way we just lift it up and catch it under your armpits.
It was great to be the Guidon Bearer during basic training. We were a mixed group of both men and woman, and I being a short woman had to step up my steps so the men would not step on the back of my heels. Why they made the short girl the bearer, I will never know but it was fun.
Wonderful job of explaining the guidon manual! Well done! WooHoo! This is well thought out, explained and executed. I'd like to suggest that you use the Marine terms of "Strong Grip" (what you call "Regular") and "Weak Grip" (what you call "Taco" :-) . Other than that, I think you've done an excellent job of explaining the USAF way of doing things for the guidon!!

0:17 "honor of being the guidon bearer" more like torture
I remember the sounds of Drill yelling, platoon guide platooooooon guiiiiide. He would say it twice every time lol
Battalion runs with the guidon... memories.
12 years later and this video is still useful, thanks guys!
Is it the same with ARMY? I'm the guidon for my unit and I have a change of command coming up in a few days and not sure what to do.
It's the same, I'm in Meade Mustang Battalion, and I use this to train my cadets.
Marine Corps is different. We don't bring the staff way up high in that fancy movement in present arms.

I know I probably won’t get a response but how’s things after ten years?
@@KennedyA53 I’ll respond to you homie lol 😂
In the Aust army no one is honourable enough, besides the padre, to touch the guidons without white gloves.
Really? Didn't notice that. However, OZs in the police were very much respected by Hongkongese.
In the US, that's generally true when it comes to touching the US flag.

thanks for this video I'm thinking of asking to become guidon bearer for my flight
I was a guide. Lackland AFB Flight 213 in 1996.
I’m in NJRotc, seaman apprentice (it’s the beginning of my freshman year) and they’re having me be guidon for our annual inspection and the parade in November and I have literally never done this before I’m so scared
i just recently became the guidon bearer for my rsp unit
Thx so much cause I'm the guidon for Charlie comp and I'm like oh boy let's get it
Is this the same in the Marine Corps?
PlayThroughForYou no. similar, but not the same.
+Tyler Uppole do you know if these procedures apply to the army? im sure air force guidon reg came from the army since it was the army air corps
No, Marines don't do the high fancy move in present arms
Is it's also for naval guidon
instead of regular grip it is called strong grip
instead of taco grip it is called v grip
To present arms, it is different from different units the Navy way we just lift it up and catch it under your armpits.
What is the regulation length for a guidon lance. (Pole)
Assuming Army is same as Cavalry.
-Thanks
It's 8 feet for all branches
Similar to rifle drill in my opinion.
Very similar
Thanks for the video chair force
I think this little fella wants to get some nose trouble and see what he can smell
this helped a lot with my jrotc class thanks!
