Good guards aye

I surprised an officer during my service in the Australian Defence Forces, (as a SNCO), when I told him, he gets inspected by every person he inspects, on parade. He was astounded to think that, he was under scrutiny himself, not only by his SNCO's, but by every one of his subordinates as well.

He's a relatively young officer and he seems intent on cracking them up at their own expense.

Wonderful captured ❤

​@@pathopewell1814 Same here. My Father was a Guardsman during WWII and beyond. He was always meticulous about the shoes we wore. He used to come to the shops to ensure we had the correct shoes and we had routine for cleaning them. I have kept his shoe cleaning brushes and smile when I look at them. Lovely memories.

Wonder why they have tostamp their feet so. It's funny

this is cruel to the horses making them stand around and those bits in their mouths are uncomfortable ...its not fair on the horses and it is all a sham
