When you are first introduced to drill commands, you may find that your reactions are slow and mistakes easily made. It is difficult enough to stand still, especially when there is a fly walking down your nose - no matter, stand still! Once you have mastered the initial movements and been taught how to march without your arms moving in the wrong order, you will suddenly find it all comes together, your squad starts to move as a team.
It will probably feel even better when you take part in a Civic or Cadet Sunday Parade. You will be with the rest of your Squadron , smartly turned out and marching behind a band.
Particularly if your family and friends are watching! Many instructors do not do this; the result is the squad turning in different directions at the same time! The aims of drill are: I. To produce a Cadet who has self respect, is alert and obedient 2. To provide the basis for teamwork. Drill is exacting and strict attention to detail must be observed. You will need the following qualities to become an excellent drill instructor.
Never lose your temper. You must fire your squad with a will to achieve. Set yourself and the squad a high standard and do not deviate from it. As a drill instructor you must impress your squad - always have them under control, lead by example:. Always be impeccably turned out. When drilling a squad, stand to attention, always face them.
When demonstrating, be accurate; never exaggerate a drill movement. If the movement is with a rifle use that article and nothing else. Never use bad language and sarcasm; it is the sign of a poor instructor.
Do not become over familiar or humiliate individual members of your squad. The salute with the hand, the present arms to senior offices and the salute with the sword were methods by which the person paying a compliment could show the person to whom the compliment was paid that no offence was meant and they were unarmed.
They were all gestures symbolic of loyalty and trust. A salute is the normal greeting between comrades in arms. That a salute is properly and smartly given when you meet an officer is a basic matter of discipline. That the salute is properly and smartly given is a matter of training.
Failure by an officer to return a salute shows a lack of courtesy on their part. All compliments derive their origin from the Sovereign, to whom the highest compliment, the Royal Salute, is paid.
The body and head not remaining still and erect. Allowing your right elbow to come forward. Hand not flat and in correct position, finger tips not near to head at eye level. Wrist bent - not in straight line with forearm.
Allowing left arm to creep forwards. Left fist not clenched with thumb to front, arm not tight into side. The actual commission an officer receives is in fact a document on parchment paper signed and sealed by Her Majesty The Queen.
Ask one of your officer to bring theirs along for you to see, it is a very special and interesting document. Each cadet in the centre and rear ranks covering the corresponding cadet in the front rank. Distance of 75cm 30 inches. A succession of cadets standing side by side in threes, covering the front files as in diagram above.
Normal formation for marching on a road. FILE: Any cadet in the front rank together with the cadet s immediately behind them. This affords space for inspections to be carried out. Not to be confused with a Guard of Honor. Guard consists of 1 officer, 1 SNCO plus 6 other corporals and cadets.
They form up in two ranks. WING: Formation consisting of two or more squadrons or units. Maximum number of five paces. Slow March - 65 Paces per minute.
Quick March - Paces per minute. The term "Adjusting on parade", is when you feel that your boot lace has come undone, or your shirt is coming out of your trousers or even worse is left to your imagination, but you must put it right before some disaster happens. This is a simple method of sorting out the different heights of cadets in a flight or squadron so as they appear more uniform when seen as a marching body.
This is especially important if you have some very small and very tall cadets in the flight or squadron as they would look most odd marching next to each other. You have all the cadets form a single rank with the tallest at one end and the shortest at the other. The words of command are as follows Even numbers stand still. The leading cadet of the REAR file wheels to the right followed by the remainder joining the end of the front file. As this is taking place the first two cadets of the front file march to the rear of number one, turn to the front, take up a position covering off number one.
The remainder of the cadets continue to fill the Front, Centre and Rear Ranks in that order, until the squad is formed. Each Rank is stood to attention while being inspected, while those who are waiting or who have been inspected are Stood At Ease. At the end of the inspection ask permission from the inspecting officer to fall out.
The term "Step Short" means reduce the length of your pace, "Step Out" means slightly lengthen your pace. By doing this while Wheeling you keep your dressing in each file as it changes direction. A common fault when giving the "Left or Right Wheel" is for the command to be given sharply, when in fact it should be drawn out - "WHEE-EEL", allowing the files to slowly change direction, keeping their dressing in threes.
The information below is perhaps the most important for you to learn and practice, as it is only when you are able to correctly give yourself these words of command that you will become good at drill. The commands given are for when you are "on the march" or "marking time". Like many skills it is only with practice that you will become perfect.
All words of command must be clear and powerful since the way in which they are given affects the reaction that they inspire. The word of command is divided into three parts:.
The following are examples of the delivery of a word of command:. Explanation : Many drill instructors end up with sore throats after a prolonged drill practice. This may well be because they do not use their lungs correctly.
In other words, learn to breathe deeply. Do not forget to stand to attention when giving commands. Standing with your feet apart or leaning backwards may result in straining your groin. Have your head up, looking directly at your squad; when giving the word of command AIM your voice straight over the squad. It is most important to develop the correct method of delivering commands; nothing is worse than a poor drill instructor.
If you really cannot do it properly, leave it to someone who can. It is not just a sound. A quick tightening of the stomach muscles so that the word comes out quick, a lower pitch to give the Introductionary , short and higher in pitch than the Cautionary produces the Executive word of command.
Ensure that there is a pause between the Cautionary and the Executive. Failure to do this may result in the flight anticipating the word of command, thus the whole purpose of drill is lost - and chaos will reign! Patience — never lose your temper. Enthusiasm — you must inspire your squad with a will to learn. Consistent Attitude — set the standard and do not deviate from it. Praise readily but do not become familiar, and never humiliate individual members of the squad. Strength of Personality — as a drill instructor you must impress the squad with your personality and always control them fully.
When drilling a squad, stand at Attention.
