Unfortunately, it was shot from the back of the parade ground, instead of the front. Pay attention to the final rifle exchange about 8 minutes in...this was where the Marine dropped his rifle the night we watched them!

This is a very cool video. And I have to say, I love high speed internet!

That is extremely good drill!

I've tried a bit of that sort of stuff, and I've got to say that flinging a heavy rifle around, let alone one with a bayonet fixed, is not something to be done lightly!

Ah...some more heavy puns! :o)
