@@winterkeptuswarm Yes and no really. So, the biggest thing about TX is how many Hispanic people live here. So, that means that if they were born in like Mexico then they are like 95% likely that they speak Spanish and 65% English. (This is coming from my home town at least). But, the big kicker is that when you are born here (any race) you take Spanish as a kid but no one uses it so we all loose it. It's really only the Hispanic households that use the language enough to keep it. My ex gf was Hispanic and she didn't speak Spanish even though her whole family did. It's just so impressive to me to see people in other countries be able to retain multiple languages. Maybe it's like an incentive or just part if the culture? But, for me and I guess "us" it's not really important. I've kinda always thought that it's really just because we are already using the most or one of the most popular languages in the world and on top of that if you are traveling here you most likely can speak english...so none of us care enough to keep another language past taking our classes in school.

I had my recruit period with the Kings Guard, but I wanted to be a guard so we were transferred and got mixed with MP recruits and some from the Air Force. Me and the others from the Kings Guard were using our debit cards to get rid of wrinkles and creases, but the MP and Air Force recruits just stuffed the excess sheet into the sides and that was good enough. I felt so cheated. I glad I experienced some cool exercises and learned some skills instead of just getting really good at SLO(the drills they perform).

Magnus did amazing. Honestly, there’s always a moment in Drill and Ceremony where the person has reached mental saturation after they have begun to get better at simple things. They stop actively thinking about those simple things and mistakes happen. The muscle memory isn’t there yet, but the mental memorization almost is. That usually takes longer than just a couple hours. You can see this moment in Magnus’s face when he knows he shouldn’t have made a simple mistake. But, then there is always a period of growth directly after that where those simple movements become reinforced and more complex movements become possible for memorization. All in all, excellent job.
@josephallen2672
@josephallen2672 3 года назад
This can be applied to people first learning how to climb as well. Those simple fundamentals of climbing need to be remembered and reinforced before moving on to more complex movements. This concept explains why you see “peaks and valleys” in your training ability. Your brain literally needs time to process what it has learned (usually during sleep).

Oh dear, how this brings back memories from 2016-2017. It looks awfully strict, and that's because it is.. However, it's something you grow to love over the one year in that company: - Strategies to get rid of wrinkles and stay wrinkle free. - Folding a nice wardrobe. - Way too much to do in a short amount of time. Most days eating was a rush, and you learned to eat a full dinner in just a few minutes to get back to business (Also, from the point you start to perform for an audience, it can and will be extremely tight schedules.) - Late nights practicing outside in temperatures below 0 degrees C. - The hardened bump you got on your hip-bone from smacking the M1 with force against it during training and pain-tests between us for fun. Some got bruises that looked like galaxies around that area. - The sound of marching and the M1 Garand became quite arousing when it was JUST right. The more everyone put into it, the better it sounds, and it felt powerful. The sound of a good "holdt" (stop) was intense. - The overly strict inspections. (Sgt. Gresseth always found a new spot with some traces of dust with every inspection, it's frightening what that man would do to make sure he found something. In a good way, hahah.) - And of course: the maintaining of the spit shine that took 20m-1h every night. And the movies and improving of the spit shine during weekends. (If you made a mistake or were a bit careless, you'd have to fix it asap and it would ruin your sleep. You use them even while you train, so it's common to smack the Garand a bit too close to your shoe, as in on your toes.) Really been looking forward for some more exposure of that company. I love these bits on RU-vid, but it's a lack of them sadly. It's not really just something you do, it becomes a lifestyle you grow to enjoy and love.

@@DeuPKayMy statements apply to life in general (Magnus is not military). FYI I am an ex-commando (Reserve-LT) and I can tell you I have seen quite some transformations. Of course, you start with minimum requirements but basically most can meet those standards. Moreover, you start with the premise of inclusiveness and not exclusiveness. Not everybody is equal (though everybody's WORTH is equal!!) and the most important part, the REAL differentiator is character, mental toughness, fortitude, self-discipline and being a team-player. Given a few exceptions, these qualities can be instilled in people, especially when they are young and still moldable. Selection process is not a purview of the military, it is in all parts of life, and you can train and prepare for it, ie. Change for the better. People are not static, people CAN change.

What you experienced is what recruits go through for their first few weeks in almost all basic training for militaries around the world (learning commands, how to march and perform in cadence, establishing proprioception while performing). Watching people attempt to fix their squaregating (stepping off on the wrong foot, with the wrong arm being swung forward, making an unnatural step) is always funny, but something we all experience :). And the unit you are with, they are employed (role wise) to be perfectionists at this, so naturally you are seeing people at their best with the basics/intermediates perfected. Its awesome watching this content because it brings back memories for me and I know the experience would have been interesting for those outside of the forces.

Having made a rght cock-up at my passing out parade as a RAF Airman at RAF Swinderby back in 1970, as being the tallest I was chosen as right-end marker and the sqadron about 40 guys, used me to ensure we walked a straight line, which we did not, so I know how tough parade ground work is. But these guys are a totally different level and what really impressed me, was the last cadet on the right, who starts the raising of the the rifles, some how knows to his right, which he can't see, when the far left hand man has raised his rifle, at that instant he brings down his to trigger the routine again. If any one out there, especially Norwegian, how that is done please state.

In the US Army basic training we did Drill and Ceremony (D&C). For me personally the best part of the whole experience was the D&C competition at the end of training between the different platoons. The sense of comunitas was extraordinary, it wasn't until then that felt like a true soldier. The only time I ever got to do D&C again was for funeral duty, which we treated with great reverence and took great pride in. It was a great honor for me personally to participate in sending our Soldier to their final resting place and in brining some small measure of peace to the family that was left behind.
