Military Drill and EtiquetteAttention ANS✔✔ When you stand at Attention you are indicating that you
are alert and ready to receive instructions. When called to Attention you will
bring the heel of your left foot to the heel of your right foot. At Attention, you
stand straight with you heels together. Your feet will form a 45-degree angle
and your head and body will be erect, hips and shoulders level, and your chest
will be lifted. Your arms will hang naturally with your thumbs aligned with the
seam of your trousers or skirt. Your fingers will be joined and allowed to curl
naturally. Your legs will be straight, but do not lock your knees. Your head and
eyes should be directed forward. Your mouth should be closed and your chin
should be tucked in slightly.
Parade Rest ANS✔✔ The command "Parade Rest" is only given when the
formation is at attention. In a single movement, bring your left foot out to
shoulder width and join your hands, right over left, palms facing away from
your body, at the small of your back.
At Ease ANS✔✔ When given the command "At Ease" you may relax and
move about. While at ease your right foot must remain in place. While in this
position you are not allowed to talk.
Fall Out ANS✔✔ This command is not the same as Dismissed. "Fall Out"
means you are free to break ranks, but you must remain nearby. When given
the command "Fall In" return to your place in ranks and come to Attention.
Uncover ANS✔✔ Some ceremonies and inspections will require you to
remove your cover.The command "Uncover Two" is used to direct this action.
When you hear the command "Uncover", raise your hand as you would during
, the hand salute but grab the brim of your cover instead of touching your
forehead. When you hear the command "Two" lift your hat a bit to avoid
messing up your hair and then return your hand to your side in a direct
manner. Do not use a sweeping gesture that is exaggerated. On the command
"Cover", grasp your hat with both hands and place it firmly on your head. Drop
your left hand, leaving your right hand holding the brim of the cover until you
hear the command "Two". You may now drop your right hand to your side.
Facings ANS✔✔ There are three facing movements: Left Face, Right Face
and About Face. While executing a facing movement, your arms should
remain in the attention position.
Right Face or Left Face ANS✔✔ (Right)At the command "Face" slightly raise
the left heal and right toe. Face the right, turning on the right heal, putting
pressure on the ball of the foot and holding the left leg straight. Then place the
left foot smartly beside the right one.
(Left)At the command "Face" slightly raise the right heal and left toe. Face the
left, turning on the left heal, putting pressure on the ball of the foot and
holding the right leg straight. Then place the right foot smartly beside the left
one.
About Face ANS✔✔ Command: "About Face". At the command, place the
toe of the right foot about half-foot to the rear and slightly to the left of the left
heel without moving the left foot. Put the weight of the body mainly on the
heel of the left foot, right leg straight. Then pivot to the rear, moving to the
right on the left heel and the ball of the right foot. Place the right heel beside
the left to complete the movement.
