Skyviper 1,101 Posted December 14, 2010 So I was watching this video when a Marine appears to make a mistake. I say appear because I'm not sure if it was really an accident or if it was part of thier routine. I'm not sure so I'm considering the source. If was fake then they did a good job. If was real then they did a good of job of pulling it off...and the question is what will happen to the guy that messed up? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9q7b_2tkMo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 531_Ghost Posted December 14, 2010 As a former member of a Drill Team, stuff like this happens. You practice, practice, practice and hope to pull it off during a show/parade. Sometimes, it doesn't as you saw. Neither lost their bearing. The stock will be replaced, onto the next show... No harm, no foul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 628 Posted December 15, 2010 missing catching the rifle isn't part of the routine.. (someone can get hurt) but even the marines are human Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ezlead 42 Posted December 15, 2010 Sh$t Happens!!! Those white gloves make it a lot more difficult to catch anything. Repair the rifle and on to the next show. Great recovery by the NCO in charge. OOORRRAAAHHH!!! A little more practice for the guy that missed catching it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
