Thanks 1SG. Your advice on killing the board work for me I got that p status back in June. Now this is extremely helpful for me since i go to BLC this coming Tuesday. A little nervous for it.
Hell yeah! You got this! I’m working on a BLC vid for my other channel - UA-cam.com/billstoker Isn’t out yet, so it won’t help ya, but pay attention to the rubrics, and pay attention to detail. Your SGLs should be more than willing to address any questions. A the best!
It’s been 11 years since basic (I got out for 5 years) and our reserve unit basically never does any DNC aside from having a couple formations. I have forgotten A LOT about DNC and they are finally sending me to BLC. My Questions will sound stupid- but could you answer some really elementary questions- 1. When you call cadence how do you know the pace to call 2. After you call a command how do you know when to execute the next cadence (left, right) 3. Do you have to be on a particular side of the squad while marching. Thank you !
Great questions! Thanks for your service by the way. So, marching cadence is 120 beats per minute - while I don’t have a metronome in my head, it’s a fairly easy beat to keep. I call “left” or “one” the next time my left foot strikes the ground, regardless of which direction we turned. Technically, oh can be anywhere, but the proper answer when marching a squad is to be three paces and centered-on the left side when marching forward. Stoker
Ohh yes, 25th. The most chewed up unit in the military. Aloha Friday, tropic Thursday, half day Wednesday, then they wonder why work never get done and discipline levels are low. You take a joe from high-school, and cut them loose in Waikiki, you better expect trouble. Going from the 101 to 25th is a career ender!
It sure has. After some rifle PT with my company I did about 15 minutes of manual of arms training, and man they sucked, lol. But, now they don’t. Hehehe
Are my morning favorite: Zonk! (everyone runs back to the barracks for an extra hour sleep before work call) LoL Good times. I miss Germany. Great Video too.
Is there some type of resource or guide or book on everything about DNC? I can't seem to find anything online and I've forgotten so much about this stuff.
👀 but what is the PROPER thing to do if the person calling movements calls the WRONG direction. Lol. Here after that tiktok where the NCO called right and they needed to go left off the stage. Im curious what yall think!
@@STOKERMATIC lol that's what I thought. I was in the Navy so we would do it diff. We would turn and then not move until "posted". We wouldn't just be given a movement and then automatically start walking. But yeah it's funny check it out on tiktok.
Yes, for example to call a column right, the predatory command, Column right, is called on the right foot, a step is taken, the command of execution, March, is called again on the right foot, and again a step is taken and the command executed on the left foot.
So, let me get this straight. This is the video the army puts out to show their drill standards??? The one soldier has his hand touching the middle of the trail soldiers arm. Not up at the shoulder. What a friggin joke.

I will be both happy and sad when I never get to do this again.
I feel ya brother!!
Just became eligible for e5... this is really helpful since we didn't spend too much time on this in basic.
This looks like the NCO Academy over in Hawaii. Your videos were monumental to me passing the board.
Interesting to see how different branches do these things.

Really helpful for my incoming BLC

Outstanding. DnC has almost disappeared in the modern army, and that's a freakin shame.
It sure has. After some rifle PT with my company I did about 15 minutes of manual of arms training, and man they sucked, lol.
But, now they don’t. Hehehe

I don't give a zonk too often, but when I do...people go CR@ZY!
Lol even the profiles be running during that

Did he stepped off incorrectly on the march?
Wait mind explaining count off If there were 2 squads would they count at the same time?
They would indeed!
👀 but what is the PROPER thing to do if the person calling movements calls the WRONG direction. Lol. Here after that tiktok where the NCO called right and they needed to go left off the stage. Im curious what yall think!
Haven’t seen that one! 😂 hmm if called properly - execute unless it’ll take you off a cliff.
@@STOKERMATIC lol that's what I thought. I was in the Navy so we would do it diff. We would turn and then not move until "posted". We wouldn't just be given a movement and then automatically start walking. But yeah it's funny check it out on tiktok.
Was that u in the video ?
Luis I am the squad leader - forming, aligning, inspecting, and matching the squad.
STOKERMATIC great video
Luis Thank you!
Last month a SSG told me that there is no more FLANK (left or right). Is this true??

Charles Abbott I’m at blc right now, it’s still a thing
so you say the command on your right foot then execute on your left depending on the direction? clarification needed please and thank you.
yes
Yes, for example to call a column right, the predatory command, Column right, is called on the right foot, a step is taken, the command of execution, March, is called again on the right foot, and again a step is taken and the command executed on the left foot.

Spacing discipline was off. Soldiers at attention standing pigeon-toed and slouching. One of the poorest examples I've seen.
scud - surfer for God sake make your own demo mr critic... Text me so I can grade you.
Rica Bulletproof but you’re supposed to be squared away if this was intended to be an instructional video. Ijs. I’ve seen way worse though.
