I have researched the topics of Rifle Drill, as well as basic Drill and Ceremony, on the forums and have found a great deal of useful information. However, most of it revolves around the Silent Drill Platoon and their activities throughout the country, as well as at 8th & 'I'.

I am a State Trooper and a member of our 20-member Honor Guard. I am looking for rifle drill & ceremony, as well as rifle throws, inspection drills, and the like. I haven't found any training aids, videos, instruction manuals, etc. for these things and am hoping you may have some fresh ideas for me.

We use Marine Corps D & C as the basis for our movements, but I am looking for more detailed instruction in Rifle Movements and Inspections. Thanks for your time!

Welcome Aboard to the Best Marine Site on the net. Also welcome to your home away from home................
We have a great crew of Marines in here from WW II to the present............
Throw your sea bag in a corner, pull up a footlocker, sit and chat awhile.........

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'll send out PM's, rather than take up space here.

Again, thank you!
