List of the most popular hashtags for theme #MAKEFLAGPROTOCOLGREATAGAIN

Now that I'm finished bashing "innocent children" and their "innocent cadet programs", let's move on to Active Duty. It's unfortunate but no one is immune to making mistakes. Some pictures show teams that are absolutely so bad that they need to start over. Others show teams that need to review and not rely on their memory or what someone else, including me, said. I was recently asked, "Are you singling me out?" My answer, "You bet I am!" Do you meet the standards? If not, it won't be comfortable. If so, I'll celebrate with you. My hashtag isn't #MakeColorGuardComfortableAgain - Meet the published standards and that includes you senior members who don't enforce those standards. I see what you are. ✴️Education is !

This is gold! ⭐ The uncase/case sequences that JROTC color guard teams perform in competition are extremely rare in the military. But, here we have a unit Stand Down of the US Army Reserve 300th Sustainment Brigade from @us_armyreserve_4th_esc! Folding the flag to case it is actually a good technique. Less messy and quicker. ✖️There are three issues, however! The color guard is not authorized to replace the Army departmental flag. They must ADD the unit flag for the casing ceremony. ✖️The American flag is too large for the staff and ✖️the gold cord and tassels is NEVER CARRIED by military teams. Chrome helmet liners aren't my first choice, but I wasn't consulted.

Sent in by a follower! Naples (Italy) High School NJROTC color guard. So team, there are a few things wrong here and some other things that need attention. What's wrong: ❌Only the Ensign and Navy flag should be in the formation. ❌Navy teams are not authorized to carry a foreign national flag in the formation. It MUST be carried in a separate three-man team. ❌The POW/MIA flag is not authorized to be carried in a military color guard, ever. It is only for the funeral of a former POW and is carried as the Personal Color. ❌Both hands on the staff is only during high winds. ❌Guards: no arms swing. ❌For males, the web belt goes over the uniform belt, not above it. Things that need attention: Ensign bearer, you are the commander, your responsibility is to read MCO P5060.2 and MCO 10520.3, know the applicable information, and ensure that your team is fully trained. That's not evident here. Your Navy color bearer looks like she doesn't know what she's doing. Right face would suffice for your exit here. Train and then practice, practice, practice. .. ✴️Education is ! Visit www.thedrillmaster.org When ordering from www.paradestore.com use code T186816 at checkout, thank you! ..

The answer is, "Where is 'NOWHERE!'." The question is, where can we find guidance to cut up our nation's flag so that we can retire it? This is just sheer ignorance of what a flag retirement is. You respectfully burn the flag, the whole flag. Burning is not desecration unless it is done with malicious intent. You do not desecrate the flag by cutting it up so that you don't desecrate the flag by burning it. ⭐STOP CUTTING THE FLAG unless it is too big to burn safely! ⭐ @tagtheflag @flags4flagless #MakeFlagProtocolGreatAgain #MakeTheFlagCodeGreatAgain . . ✴️Education is !

Warning, this is painful to watch! Sent in by a follower! There is no excuse for this type of performance. Instructors and JROTC HQs must step up immediately to put a stop to this insanity. For a color guard, no one should ever perform any move that is not in published guidance (TC 3-21.5, MCO P5060.2, AFMAN 36-2203, & The Honor Guard Manual). #MakeExhibitionColorGuardNonExistent #ExhibitionColorGuard . . #MakeColorGuardGreatAgain #MakeFlagProtocolGreatAgain #MakeRegulationDrillGreatAgain . ✴️Education is !

Just a quick note to this @mcbquantico color guard. You're getting set up, no problem. My comments are not about everyone not being at Parade Rest, that's not the issue (photographers: please stop taking pictures like this, putting teams in a less than excellent light). ⭐Thank you to the commander who authorized the white belts for the females! Good job! ❌Steam your colors, both colors look terrible. ❌Tuck your colors, the Army and Air Force let the material hang (regulation drill only), but not your service. ❌Left rifle guard, wrap that right hand around the barrel. ❌Right rifle guard, bring your right hand up to the top of the hand guard and remain there for Parade Rest and Attention. ❌MCO 10520.3 states the cord shall be attached below the spearhead. You have it at the base of the spearhead, which looks odd. MCO P5060.2 shows the cord attached just above the flag at the base of the ferrule. ⭐Harnesses and slings are good! . . #MakeColorGuardGreatAgain #MakeFlagProtocolGreatAgain #MakeRegulationDrillGreatAgain . ✴️Education is !

What feedback could we give this Marine color guard? There are a couple of improvements to be made, what are they? From @angreeviking - ✴️Education is !

Sent in by a follower! @Regran_ed from @youknowmarcus Team: ❌Your Mark Time is too high, toes come 2" from the deck. ⭐Excellent timing, spacing, and alignment! ❌Don't stomp your feet through Half Step & Mark Time. ❌The MCO states how many steps for Countermarch for each position. Too many steps. You are not authorized to pivot on the inside foot for the flanks. That's an #MBW thing only. Left rifle guard: great job ❌but bring your chin up. Color bearers:❌ Do not bring the ferrule up, out of the socket, & then down a couple of inches, just lift it out.❌ Bring the staff down in one swift motion, one count, not slowly. ❌Reach straight up to trim, don't bring your fully extended arm up in a sweeping arc. ❌The MCO specifically states to NOT tuck the flag by throwing it behind. You are to gather the flag meterial between your right arm and the staff. ❌Reach up to trim the colors immediately upon the ferrule touching the deck. ❌Where are your cords and tassels for each color? ❌NATIONAL IS TURNING THE WRONG WAY! ✖️It's a good idea to practice with spades/spearheads mounted. Departmental color bearer: ❌No arm swing at all. ❌The flag goes under your arm, not behind you. Rifle guards: Good work on the pause for Left to start the Order sequence. ❌However, you know the counts and they are never slowed down. ❌Set the rifle butt on the deck as soon as you bring it to Order. The Ready Cut command is for the team's arms, not the equipment. Right rifle guard:❌ twisting your upper body is not the position you were taught in Boot Camp when bringing the rifle to Order. Shoulders should be square to the front. .. #MakeColorGuardGreatAgain #MakeFlagProtocolGreatAgain #MakeRegulationDrillGreatAgain .. ✴️Education is !
