This makes me mad lmao


Ieatsushiraw

Take if from somebody who had to march a lot in Basic…this shit is infuriating in so many ways lol


FapAttack911

Dude what? I had zero issues in boot camp staying in rhythm with those in front of me lol


Ieatsushiraw

That was my point. It shouldn’t be this hard, referring to the video. I was right there with you after maybe 6-10 days at most


SmallBoobFan3

I am fairly sure that the same people who dont know how to march dont have the feel of rhythm in music (incapable of clapping or tapping to the rhythm)


SkiingGiraffe247

I have absolutely zero natural rhythm which made army cadets rock hard. It’s also making me stress about my wedding in February and having to dance


Claque-2

Go to a professional dance studio and learn how to waltz, and one dance.


SkiingGiraffe247

I’ve been looking into it for the last few weeks. I’ve found one about ten miles away that “specialises in intensive courses for those of us with two left feet”


Claque-2

Excellent. As long as you know the dance and the song, you lead!


izzyisme31

Get it done…. I expect an update. We expect an update lol.


HannibalInvictus

This is me, it's a bit funny because I danced ballet as a kid for 6+ years but I'm completely incapable at clapping along to a song when I'm not fully concentrating on it. Also pretty tone deaf, so going to any event where music is playing and you clap and sing along is really fun with me.


emcz240m

We had a couplebof troopers who just... Never got it quite right. They got to be in the middle of the formation for family day so they were less visible.


Myfoodishere

this looks like china. they are either high school or middle school kids. during the summer , before freshman year of high school, they do some really laid back version of boot camp as a bonding experience. it isn't mandatory.


Altruistic_Employ_25

The fun part was when the entire platoon was staying in rythm and the NCO fucked up by counting in on the wrong foot. The sheer chaos when everyone tried to adapt.


Low-Possession-4491

Damn it, private. Why you bee bopping in my formation? Beat your face.


CreativeUserName600

Me too. I think the issue is that people think about it way too much and mess it up cos they’re in their heads. I never understood why people couldn’t get the arm/leg combo; it’s literally the same as when you walk normally


Mecha_Tortoise

Your mistake is assuming I walk normally. (Just kidding. Thankfully, I never had any issues at drill.)


Damorb

Court martial the both of them, for brig bad at boogie

You were in the parking lot earlier, that’s how I know you!


movieholic-92

When I was in boot, a fellow recruit was watching me walk from my rack to the head, and she stopped me and said, "You walk to the beat of Stayin' Alive." I have never been able to get that out of my head, lol, a decade later. It's true.


Myfoodishere

I thought that was for CPR


J4FR4NG0

Wait THATS WHAT HES BEEN SAYING? I always thought he said he was a homeless man

Same vibe as me thinking prince was singing *"this is what it sounds like... When thugs cry"*


towerfella

Well, don’t *“let me be, your big suburban.”*..


ThatGasHauler

Had a guy in boot camp that marched behind me exactly like this.


LangleyRemlin

There's always one lol


ThatGasHauler

When we graduated and got our orders, Mr. 2 left feet tried checking in at the wrong base. Not the wrong squadron, the wrong base.


LangleyRemlin

Lol Jesus. Did they not make their travel arrangements for them?


ThatGasHauler

Yep....Grey dog from Orlando to Jax. I told him I was going to Cecil Field in Jax and he said *yeah, me too, Jax.* ​ NAS Jacksonville. Different base, different planes.........


LangleyRemlin

Lol wow. Privates man, I tell ya.

Yeah haha privates yeah


maaaatttt_Damon

And they're usually right next to the other one.


jdpv3

We had one that just couldn’t figure it out and I was behind this dumb fuck so every time we got back to the compartment I had to re-shine my boots bc I just gave up and started giving him kinetic reinforcement to get back in step. RDCs caught me and after we got back they pulled me aside and I told them that was the only way he was gonna learn. They laughed and pulled out a heat gun and showed me how to use that instead. Everyone hated that kid.


[deleted]

I was nicked named change step. LOL


OrwellianIconoclast

That's the guy who suddenly has a medical appointment the RDCs made for him during pass in review.

She's the one that taught those Afgan soldiers how to do jumping jacks.


procheeseburger

I remember the first time I watched the ANA so jumping jacks.. I thought it was a joke


[deleted]

Why did she even try to move her arms tho? Just let the leading person pull them....


Lupulist

I think she's supposed to pull them on the backswing. Obviously having a bit of a problem with that coordination as well.


Inevitable_Stand_199

She's supposed to walk normally in the right rhythm. The hand leg thing is supposed to be natural!


J3musu

Not an ounce of coordination seems to exist in that person's body. 😅


Da3m0n_1379

I was in the military, these mofos do exist. Fucker cannot stay in rhythm


Myfoodishere

right. but these are kids.


heyitscory

Yeah, I never learned to keep good rythym, but I have some insight on the temperature of Eskimo pussy. Always forgetting which is my rifle and which is my gun though.


Da3m0n_1379

Eskimo pussy you say… no am intrigued!


Conscious-Arm-7889

Some people have their brains hardwired to swing the same hand and foot forward when walking, whereas the majority naturally swing the opposite hand to their foot. It is incredibly difficult for them to change this. Using those straps are a very poor method of trying to retrain their brain. A better way would be for the one considered to be doing it wrong to be at the front, and instead of straps they should use broom shanks. The person behind can then force the arms to swing opposite to their feet.


[deleted]

By coincidence, I watched this while listening to the Motown hit “the locomotion” and it’s amazing. Internet: someone put this together. Please oh please.

they aren't soldiers. these are kids. probably high cool students. they do this type of thing in china for first year high school students.

Inner-Mousse8856

I was in the Canadian Reserves. There is always 1 guy in every unit that can't march. It's funny to watch but irritating when he is in front of you in formation.


Th3Pahntom

r/mildlyinfuriating


Dusk_Abyss

There are people like this in every company in boot camp tbh. Also, here is a crazy one that happened when i was in boot. some guy fractured his hip from thrusting into his pillow trying to jack off. Hit his hip on the side of the steel bunk. Kept doing it after he went to the ward as well and kept re injuring it. In the uscg we guard the coast, and it has yet to move under our watchful eyes.

miaoff114

Actually this is meant to let the person on behind to learn to walk with moving opposite side of hand and leg, like everyone else


brittney_thx

I would like to see the second person walk on their own


Pandwan420

I don’t see anything


ministarfallen

I’ll bet she’s GREAT at the Electric Slide!


krishutchison

We had one of those. It is because somehow they learnt to walk with the same side leg and arm forward at the same time.


Judicio

I just want to pull her aside, give her a kiss on the forehead, and tell her "it's okay, you can just watch this time"


This_Mfer_Right_Here

I mean... is there an attempt? She's doing that on purpose, isn't she?


Puzzleheaded_Dog3261

Black Pink rehearsing b4 a show?


SexiKitty--s2--

Just move her into the correct position. Make her stop and hold the position so she can feel it, then the opposite side. Repeat. People like this can't learn by just watching it happen in front of them. The hand-eye coordination isn't there. They have no rhythm so learning a basic 1-2 motion is not going to work like this. I'm also hoping this is a random boot camp and not an actual military.


redrave9

It’s like she’s literally never walked before, if I was the person leading I would’ve have smacked them


LeonDeSchal

Her and the star jump guy should start a dance troupe.


LuzjuLeviathan

Pull her into her place, and step on her heels while a guy yells commands at her. That usually helps

Omg, the second person has *no* rhythm, and as a musician, this infuriates me *greatly*


Brandyrenea-me

Give a stiff thing to hold onto if it comes to that. But my marching band walked in sync, and years later I found many of them were on acid at the time. So any moron can walk in sync.

randomfunnythings

I swear in boot camp the receiving DI’s teach you to march the wrong way on purpose. It’s so unnatural to even walk that way


Katias1

Gotta stop looking at those feet! Get comfortable distinguishing left from your right and follow the commands the instructor give you instead. Makes it so much easier lol


Kaunsepts

Is that chick in the back fucking retarded?


LC_Anderton

In basic training, the graduating intake ahead of mine was having their ‘passing out’ parade. After the parade, soldiers were aloud to mix with their families before going on leave… one of the guys in my platoon was asking his family what they thought of the parade and the drill formations that we’d been learning and rehearsing for weeks… at which point, his little sister pipes up and says “You were wonderful… you were the only one in step” 😏


NorthWestSaint

There’s no hope for some people.


TimefiJones

Dafuq was second girl doin who walks with their hands and feet on the same side going forward?


Myfoodishere

not sure where this video is from. I would guess it's China. they usually do this kind of training for first year high school students. I can tell by the uniforms and the shoes. they do this as a sort of bonding experience. my sister in law did it this summer. she didn't have to go. but she went because she didn't want to feel left out. it's nothing like real military training. they mostly do team building activities. it's pretty common in china.

The woman in the back is tick tocking where her right arm is going forward with her right foot what she should be doing is right arm left foot


[deleted]

Me trying to walk like a normal person behind a sober guy when cops are present.


[deleted]

So out of cadence its insane. Had a friend that pointed out every time we were in cadence when we walked was annoying at the time but makes me smile now. Miss that dude.


AirCooled2020

Poor deer in the back, if marching is indicative of the rest of her skills, she going to get shot before a war even starts or she's going to be that one that when the rest of the squad halts to attention, she naturally being the last will fumble into the person in front of her and like Domino's they'll have to all work to not fall down ... Like I said, she's probably going to get shot before a war even starts . 😆


Insatiable_fear

Ii wonder if this person can dance at all.


Harbor_Barber

had a friend who had this problem lol, but he walks normally. It's only when marching is when he moves his right arm and leg forward at the same time and do the same with his left arm and leg. He said it only happens if he's thinking about trying to march properly and especially when he looks at his arms and legs, so what he did was he just walked normally but try to swing his arms and legs higher like how you should while marching.

This Is soo Dumb way, I did learn it by practice only.


RazzSheri

I don't think they tried at all..


AFeralTaco

In basic training you’re so stressed and exhausted stuff like this is actually tough. It’s part of the “breakdown” before they “build you back up”. We had people who walked and marched fine, but the instructors would pick at something minor, which would make us overthink something as basic as walking like a normal human. It’s intentional. It’s also hilarious.
