I was in Oscar company band in 1975. Oscar consists of band, color guard and honor guard. During marching practice on the compound I would sometimes see the honor guard doing their routines. These old rifles are heavy. And the bayonets are razor sharp. Combine that with the cotton gloves they wear and you have a dangerous situation. One day an honor guardsman had a rifle slip and it cut through his glove and sliced his hand. It was a bloody mess, he was out of commission for awhile. Semper Paratus!
Point position. U. S. Coast Guard Honor Guard drill team. 1975-1977. So proud to see they still look good. They look really good.
Makes me proud to of been part of the Coast Guard Honor Guard. 2015-2017

Probably the best presentation of and by the U.S. Coast Guard Silent Drill Team. I am one very proud Coastie.
I saw them at the tattoo this year, and I think that performance was better.
