just about the best changing of the guard i've seen. Second only to Dinkmeyer, who's style and intensity can never be repeated. RIP, Dinkmeyer See you in Valhalla.
These Soldiers guard this Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, rain, sleet, and shine. They walk their beat during serve weather to make sure that their commitment to their duty is carried out. They are the best of the best.
@@DarjeelingEnjoyer They're talking about the guards, not the crowd. A vast majority of the time the visitors are silent there once the ceremony starts. Most of the time, though, there are intermittent verbal orders given between the guards for all the movements (example: "Guards, halt!" is what the Relief Commander would say when the guards get to where they are at 5:04), and this isn't the case here.
@@markhaines5602 also silent in the hour that an internment is being held at a nearby gravesite. They don't need the commands. They do this ceremony more than they drive their cars. For every one you see on the deck, many times more are done in the parking garage along with the Marines Body Bearers practicing there.
I heard on a previous clip ua-cam.com/video/hDRImOSurpA/v-deo.html that the "scrapes" which you can hear very clearly on this clip somehow symbolise respect for veterans. Can someone explain this tradition?
I only understand a little about the Tomb Guards, but why is the Staff Sergeant not giving any orders? Every other time I watch it, I would see them shouting to do ready face, pass on your orders and all that, why is he not doing that here?
Typically, a silent guard change is done if there is something going on nearby - a burial, ceremony, etc. But sometimes - it's just something you decide to do.
He would have received orders to go to a new duty station. Most active duty soldiers PCS every so many years given assignments and other factors. Basically in civilian terms he got a new job!
Best weapons inspection I have seen from the guards. Sharp, elegant and intens.

FYI - Adam Dickmyer. He was an excellent Sentinel. He was also the lead on Ted Kennedy's casket team.
We need to know more about this legend. Is there video?
As a former military I can watch this endlessly... Love it!
Thank you for your service
Awesomely perfect as ALWAYS love the silent changing of the guard just goes to show you...

Its my favourite scene a TRIBUTE to UNKNOWN SOLDIER LYING IN PEACE GOES TO MY HEART SO MOVING TRUE DIGNITY TO BRAVERY🙏💗
For some reason this gives me major ASMR vibes. It's so relaxing that its crazy
Silent change, don't see that often.
Probably a funeral within earshot.
sam signorelli definitely a possibility
Every time I went it was silent

That oncoming Sentinel is a BIG boy!
noticed one major thing? no oral commands other than the instructions to the visitors.
k00kie Manster They did it in the 'silent mode', as they regularly do
Silent during Wreath Ceremonies.

You love that zoom, don't you?
have another cigaret.

From what I understand, the taps on the shoes are there to let those at rest know there is someone above keeping guard over them.

I now see people calling it a silent inspection, can anyone explain why they do this?

@@tommyodonnell9 I see, thank you for informing me.
Excellent Sr
why "last" ?

He was either transferred to another duty within the 3rd, possibly retired from the Army or decided to leave the Guard. Could be any number of things
Why do they do that with their leg?
IRS a special way of walking and it makes that click sound, which is quite famous
The perfect unity, they all do it at the same time.
I am certain the heal clicks are also used as cues. As in *heal click*, count one, count two, *execute next movement* (facing, port arms, etc.).
wee guy looks like a robot whilst doing inspections
Silent change
Ymer
I been there
You get mentally exhausted and sometimes mistakes can be noticed just like the MARINE that guards the West Wing of the White House.
Moving camera to much, giving me a headache.
