![]() ![]() It has been that way since the begining of time.and is true today.and yet people will still make stuff up. "but then they can't look around while I am instructing them", says she. If you want them to look "professional" then put them at parade rest. It is to keep the cadets in place and quite. I then have to spend 30 minutes explaining that at east is not supposed to look is supposed to be comfortable. I ask her way.and she says it looks more professional.

It almost seems like when the Air Force split off from the Army they said "Lets be as different from the Army in every way possible." After 22-years of Army drill, I am having to adjust to many changes. The bottom line is stay away from non Air Force drill manuals because they will only confuse the issue. Lets not forget the ever popular command "Stand at Ease" which is "Parade Rest" that allows you to follow the speaker with your eyes and head. In the Army "Rest" is the only position that truely allows you to move any part of your body. The motion is automatic upon hearing the prepatory command from the element leader. Also, at least in the Army drill manual, you must go to "Parade Rest" from "At Ease" prior to going to "Attention". It is designed to be used as the name suggests during reviews so that the soldiers do not have to stand at "Attention" while the dignitaries are talking (which can take a very long time). Unless otherwise stated (by the person in charge in his instructions prior to the command dismissed), the command dismissed terminates only the formation, not the duty day ( AR 310-25).In the Air Force "Parade Rest" seems like a more strict "At Ease", wheras the Army it is a less strict position of "Attention". With unarmed troops, the command is DISMISSED. With armed troops, the commands are Inspection, ARMS Ready, Port, ARMS Order (Sling),ARMS and DISMISSED. The squad is dismissed with the members at attention. The command FALL OUT will not be used to terminate a formation ( AR 310-25). Squad members may leave their position in formation, but they remain in the immediate area. When the situation warrants a greater degree of relaxation than the rest positions, the squad leader may command FALL OUT. If, for some reason, a subordinate element is already at attention, the members of the element remain so and do not execute parade rest on the preparatory command, nor does the subordinate leader give a supplementary command.įall Out. ![]() NOTE: On the preparatory command for attention, immediately assume parade rest when at the position of stand at ease, at ease, or rest.

The command for this movement is Stand at, EASE. Stand at ease, at ease, and rest may be executed from this position. Remain silent and do not move unless otherwise directed. Keep the head and eyes as in the position of attention. ![]() Keep the fingers of both hands extended and joined, interlocking the thumbs so that the palm of the right hand is outward. Simultaneously, place the hands at the small of the back and centered on the belt.
