Sorry. It's hard work. I appreciate it but I also see Marines doing things every day that are more sacrificial then getting really good at spinning rifles.
The hardest work that is done at the Evening Parade is actually the unit staff that has to stand for a few hours at a time. I had a friend who was the Commander of Troops at 8th and I and he said that it was the most painful job he ever had. Imagine being in D.C. on a summer night with a wool coat on and standing for a couple of hours at attention while bugs are gnawing at you.
