OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!! please tell me its their first day and they've just picked up their first uniform that morning, That was a disgrace to their service. to their institution and their calling, What sort of instructors have they got that allow that prideless indifferent shambles. An absolute disgrace. They have let down all other naval servicemen everywhere, and I mean every other Navy as well as their own.
Never saw this before . Going the long way to the football stadium ?? Not a parade just a march that happened to go through town . Got a parade look up worden field parade Usna on TH-cam
Perhaps they haven’t done the marching course yet. What’s the significance of the ceremonial black plastic bag carrier marching with most of the companies and when will the bandsmen learn to play their instruments?
Navy prevailed at the football game but why does each company staff march and the unit does a walk-a-thon. You see Russia in their May Day parade mass hundreds of cadets from each of their military academies in perfect step including battalions of women and not a single person out of step as they "pass in review". Even the Citadel when they marcher out of the 2024 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Massed Band were in perfect step. NO, they didn't "march up Main St".
I mean no disrespect but that’s one thing the Americans can’t do and that is MARCH! It does look as if they’re out for a stroll. Watch any British Regiment and especially the Royal Marines Band you can see loads on TH-cam, and you’ll see what I mean. Smarten up Yanks!!
No, no, no!!! They need to go back bootcamp and learn how to march, this is just sloppy. Then at 4:12, there’s a guy with his black dress shoes on and wouldn’t you know it, he’s on the outside so those black shoes really give him away. Are you serious??? When we marched, we marched!!! We were also taught to stand or march like we were holding a quarter between our ass cheeks. These groups were just messy and the commanding officers were just as bad. Get your cadence down right sailors!!!!
You sound like my dad, Patton's Army back in the day, he'd always grouse about sailors marching, and that was watching events like the Milwaukee circus parade. Your observation, though, is accurate.
Disagree. We need officers from all different backgrounds and sources of commissioning. I myself was a sergeant before earning a commission in the marines. I’ve seen a good number of enlisted that commissioned that couldn’t handle the transition.
Looks like a stroll to a shopping mall
Could they not provide a band to help keep step 😢
Did you not see what was leading this parade?
Welcome to the lackluster standards of 2024.
The midshipmen look like they’re out for an afternoon stroll…..pretty shameful.
Walking not parading!
Maryland LOVES its flag, it is on everything.
Whatever they teach at Annapolis, drill is not part of it.
USNA, I love ya, but that's some bad marching.

They march like a centipede with a broken leg.
LOL, talk about rout step!
Ring knockers. Not marching just taking a stroll

3/4 of them are out of step

That’s a foreign cadet/midshipmen with a different uniform. He is wearing his nations uniform correctly.
Officers should be required to be enlisted for a minimum of 3 years before having the opportunity to become a commissioned officer.

Why?
