USMC Silent Drill Team

This appears to be at the Denver Nuggets basketball arena.... The crowd response is worth watching the full 5 minutes of Marine Corp Silent Drill.

I put this under Signs, etc... maybe this crowd reaction is the true America

#2  This was posted here a few months ago. I think I commented that the fans cheered so hard because it was the first time they had seen actual teamwork in that arena.

#1  Well that certainly brings back conflicting memories of when I lived for the first time in DC. This team is quartered in the 8th St. Barracks. I lived on the Hill near them. Somehow two of them got pissed one night at a local bar and walking back to the barracks needed to use a phone and literally kicked in my door to my apartment. Cops got a call and found them raiding my fridge and using the phone to call buddies at 29 Palms. When I got there the cops asked me to press charges and I refused. I told the cops and the Marines that when the 1st Sgt. found out what they had done, they would wish I had pressed charges. I think from what I heard later they both survived a little section 8 brig time and hard duty but stayed in (more sober I hope).
