When I went through Basic at Sandhill April 2008-July 2008 (Dco 2/54) we hardly did any Drill and Ceremony. Time that would have usually been spent on D&C, we did more bullshit "Army Combatives" than anything else. I would have rather done D&C. It fucked me up when I got to my unit! Parade and Arms was definitely not 2nd nature for me out of Boot. Though we did Graduate wearing ACU's instead of Class A's. Infact, I only wore my Class A top part for a Basic Training Portrait. Was wearing PT shorts for my bottoms. I kinda now feel short changed in my Basic Training Experience. LOL Hell, I didn't even do any Bayonet training. That was replaced by MOUT.
If I'm remembering correctly the position of order arms with an M4 has the butt of the rifle supported by the right hand, with the barrel racing vertically, and handguard rests upon the shoulder. The magazine well and grip are facing forward.

Did close order drills 40 years ago, still can do most of it. It stays with you for the rest of your life.
I love this shit, I miss being in the Army.
Definitely don't miss the dumb shit though.
Thank you for this clear and helpful video.
Shit like this gives me anxiety. Like what if they screw up?
If anybody screws up in the army they typically get much stronger soon after.

Can you demonstrate how to do facing movement with M-16 weapon for board?

How do you do this with the M4 tho?
That’s why I’m here…

Instructive. Would have been helpful *before* basic training.
Army drill is horrendous
This is wrong :order arms from port arms is used to return the carbine to the position of order arms ………..: NOT the position on attention
As you can see, theyre using an m16 rifle, not an m4 carbine. The modules of rifles and carbines are different when it comes to “order arms”
