Fish Drill Team Performances
Want to see how a national championship military drill team looks in action?
This was filmed at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, last Sunday (April 13). The Texas A&M Fish Drill Team, consisting entirely of freshmen (including The Nephew), performed during Parents Weekend.
If you watch the entire video (and, indeed, why wouldn't you?) you'll hear in the expert audio commentary a reference to a split rifle. This refers to something that happened during the FDT's practice exhibition a hour earlier, which I also happened to capture on video (it's a much shorter snippet):
I held one of those rifles and I can assure you that they're not featherweight. It's easy to see that when the cadets are described as having invested "blood, sweat, and tears" into their training, it's a literal reference.
Thanks!
