September 5, 201412 yr Active Members I always dance while on duty although constantly sitting makes it a bit less obtrusive or noticeable. Best regards, RA1
September 5, 201412 yr Active Members 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
September 5, 201412 yr Active Members Too bad the Col. Blimps don't have a sense of humor. Poor guy was probably bored out of his skull out there.
September 5, 201412 yr Active Members Serving in the military is much like flying, hours and hours of boredom, followed by a few minutes of sheer terror. Best regards, RA1
September 5, 201412 yr Active Members 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.
September 5, 201412 yr Active Members 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. Best regards, RA1

September 5, 201412 yr Interesting to see so many replies, so soon, on a forum I thought few members visited regularly.
September 5, 201412 yr Active Members Yahoos have their rights but so do those who are not. Best regards, RA1
