The Air Force team is my favorite, they have a kind of swagger. They start out by encouraging the crowd to cheer to show that their focus won't waiver.

I think the Air Force was the most impressive one I’ve seen by far. I respect all of the branches that do this.

The fact that they can do all those moves with 10 lb M1 Garands is impressive. Also, the USAF drill team doesn’t mind if the crowd cheers and makes noise.

Having grown up in an Air Force family, and spending long periods of my childhood on Air Force bases, I've had the pleasure of watching various Air Force drill teams performing in person over the years. ALWAYS impressive. I've never actually watched the Coast Guard drill team, so I would be curious to see them as well.

The Coast Guard most definitely counts. They conduct law enforcement and search and rescue operations in US waters, but they also deploy overseas. In fact, the U.S. Coast Guard has served in every conflict that the United States has been in since World War II. The landing craft that carried soldiers to the shores of Normandy were operated by Coasties, and so were the landing crafter used to transport Marines Iwo Jima and Okinawa. A Coast Guardsman received the Medal of Honor for action while extracting Marines off of Guadalcanal. The Coast Guard conducted blockades of the coast of Vietnam to stop supply chains to the Vietcong. They also used their patrol boats to patrol narrow rivers and canals, many Guardsmen saw action in Vietnam. Their primary duty in the Korean War was port security and conducted the same mission in both the first and second Gulf Wars. So yes, they do count.

USCG Helicopter rescue swimmer AST A school 131-19 is a great class video to watch on some of the training and highlights of the greatest disaster rescue service there is

The Coast Guard Absolutely Counts. It is an Official and integrebile branch of the US military. The National Guard.as well.

It is funny. I was in the USAF for 20 years and only fired am M16 twice in my own career. ( I never fired a gun ever before or after since I retired in 2002). First in Basic Training with a 22 Round. I had 29 Bullets on the firing range and received an awarded MARKSMAN SHIP MEDAL for scoring high on the Firing range. The Range instructors counted the points and I went above the cut off for that Medal and they gave me my Target to take back to the Barracks for my personal achievement. Once I got there I counted the Holes in my Target. There were 33. LOL. An idiot on either side of me was firing at my target and helped me over the top. My Last time firing an M16 was in a room with a projector and Laser fired. about two years before I retired. If I had to use a rifle in combat ( and I was in a COMBAT COMMUNICATION SQUADRON) I probably would have shot myself. But I loved serving n the USAF. I miss it still. It was an Honor to serve. Eglin AFB Florida, 5 years in South Korea, 6 at Okinawa, 2 years at the Pentagon and 5 Years with the Georgia Air National Guard and later worked for the US ARMY HQ Command ( Telephone Communications Network ) as a Contractor for 7 years in Baghdad, Iraq. Camp Victory. Al Faw Palace. GO AIR FORCE people. The Technology Schools are excellent for a future Career.

Facts.. THWD

Came for the impressive drill team...stayed for Courtney's reaction.

I still think the Air Force is the best. At the ending, the Marine Corps' reaction was like what did we just witness.

Just so you know the Air Force was the only branch that keeps the bayonet on while throwing the rifles when I was there. I was on that same Drill Team in the 90’s.

Being a U.S.A.F Vet myself, I must say I am biased in my favorite of the drill teams (*hint* it's the U.S.A.F.) Although I think the U.S.M.C has the best service dress of the branches I still love the U.S.A.F. Drill Team. I have been waiting on you to react to the A.F. one, just didn't know which video you were going to react to. I still think the one they did at the Norwegian Military Tattoo in 2012 is among the best. Thanks for this though. United States Air Force, 1999-2011.

The Coast Guard main duty is law enforcement of the sea and ports however they become part of the military during wartime

Courtney, you get it. Dang girl, I tear up too. Our (talking about all the western countries) armed forces are awesomeness. We don't give them the appreciation they deserve.

That was a very impressive exhibition.Re;Coast Guard...This branch of our military is the lesser known of the branches,but should still be considered.They provide the protection of America's coastlines.A very vital branch.

I really love your appreciation for our military, thank you. USAF 1987-1993, Security Police (now Security Forces).

My son was a part of that Team for 3 years before he went to Iraq. Thanks for the support.

This brought back memories. In high school my dad was stationed to Washington, DC at Bolling FAB. Is where the team is based. A good friend of mine was on the team. As an Air Force kid, the drill team and flight show (Blue Angels, Golden Eagles) was a real highlight. Billing now is called Joint Base Bolling (Navy and Air Force). 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

I was USAF honor guard from 94 to 95. It's just practice. You could do it if you can lift an M1. I did mainly funerals. Gun salute. Stuff like that . But sometimes there was a parade coming up and you had to train for drill team. Basically you just do the moves all day for months.

Hi Courtney, I think you watched the best..They were so tight and exact with almost robotic movements. Thank you for this please keep re-acting you are the best!!

When you want to choose whose best but you know there will be some bias but honestly every branch looks amazing.

*Is there another military in the world that has drill teams as sharp our the United States Drill Teams, not even close!!* *We celebrate all our men and women in uniform, they are exceptional patriots and defenders of our values in freedom and our liberties that God has given us!!* *Thank you Courtney for sharing this video that makes us even more proud of our military!!*

The Air Force Honor Guard drill team will do drill moves that no other branch can pull off! 😎👌

I would love to see a Coast Guard drill team; my Father was in the Guard. Their primary job is search and rescue and patrol US shores. One story he told me he was posted on (one of the few) boats that had a gun on it. They (CG) weren't focused in offensives tasks and therefore not thoroughly trained on weapons. When a foreign ship got to close to US shores the went to fire a warning shot and accidentally blew off the top of their own boat. FYI the best CG assignment is at Lake Tahoe NV/CAL.

However, under 14 U.S.C. § 3 as amended by section 211 of the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act of 2006, upon the declaration of war and when Congress so directs in the declaration, or when the President directs, the Coast Guard operates as a service in the Department of the Navy.
