Pace Stick Drill 

Retired and probably because they made the switch

Thanks for your kind words and continuous support! 😊Would love to do some colour drill in the future.

Thanks for your kind words, cheers!

You are welcome sir!

Thanks for your support! Flag / Colour drill is rather simple, only a few movements, I think you can get some references online. 😉Anyway, let’s see if I can do some in the future.

What

The pace stick is both a symbol of a sergeant major and above’s authority and to give a visual representation of the 30 or so inches in between each step during marching.

@@AzureRoseMarshal. So mostly for show then? I don’t mean that disrespectfully, I was just curious if this had its roots in some form of practical application. Like the sword US Marine officers wear. Entirely for show these days, but it’s a sword, at one time actually used to do…sword things. :)

What? All armies do drill. What's so strange about that? This is a very good educational video.

Practicing warfighting? I assume you mean section attacks or rifle practice? In which case those are all things that happen alongside marching drill. The video here is showing the pace stick drill that an RSM will use to keep the parade in correct stepping size when marching. It makes performances look far cleaner and isn’t useless or a waste of time

He’s a retired soldier of an army that left him in enemy territory lol
