Members RA1 Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 I always dance while on duty although constantly sitting makes it a bit less obtrusive or noticeable. Best regards, RA1 AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lucky Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 Well how about those Royal Thai Army guards? They sure know how to put on a show. Now, if I just had a zoom lens and they were all naked! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/thailand/10586772/Thai-guards-step-out-of-line-for-synchronised-show.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MsGuy Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 Too bad the Col. Blimps don't have a sense of humor. Poor guy was probably bored out of his skull out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 Serving in the military is much like flying, hours and hours of boredom, followed by a few minutes of sheer terror. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 I liked the Royal Thai Army, even clothed. Best regards, RA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jgoo Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 If they are just for show, then a little leeway is fine in how they act, however these guys are more than that and regardless of the boredom factor, they need to be disciplined and follow the proper decorum.

Members RA1 Posted September 5, 2014 Members Share Posted September 5, 2014 You are absolutely correct on many counts. First, military discipline. Second, the importance of the duty. Third, self respect. I would hate to see the serviceman guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Solider acting up this way.
