Guard Commander Inspection - Arlington National Cemetery

[Jeff L]

Thought you guys might like this precise inspection of a soldier's M-14.

Wow! Thanks for posting Jeff.

Pretty intricate. I've never seen anything quite like that.

Very STRAC. Impressive locking open of the bolt! That ain't in 22-5! Imaginative and beautifully choreographed!

Made me nervous just watching that.

Number one rule ... never point a firearm in an unsafe direction unless you don't plan on being unsafe ..... ask the cop in Punta Gorda Florida who recently killed a woman while firing "blanks"

To be fair, for purposes of the ceremony the crowd isn't there. And who hasn't inspected down the muzzle of a M1 or M14 type.

Hypnotizing movements!

I bet when the kids next door accidently put a tennis ball in your yard you take it and yell at them.

Thats's funny... kids next door have never played with a ball . Got an 11 year old two houses down who still can't ride a bike . Four houses down is one of those street side basket ball hoops thats stood unused for three years.
The kids on my street that actually get off their asses and ride a bike do so while staring at a smart phone.... that's how one of them hurt himself by riding into the new F 150 in my driveway two years ago.

I'd love to see a kid accidently put a ball anywhere ....

Up here if your kids can ride a bike, swim, ice skate, and have reasonably straight teeth going into adulthood, you can reasonably claim to them that you were not a total disaster as a parent. To that list, for boys at least, I add "throw a baseball properly".
