  2. 2
    Take your next position/drill movement is 'stand at ease' simply bring your legs apart a little more than slightly and place your hands behind your back with straight fingers and crossed thumbs.

    • Left/right turns just keep your arms locked as if at attention and turn on your heels 90 degrees when you have turned go back to the attention position.
    • Right/left inclines do the same as a 90 degree turn except only do 45 degrees of it.
  3. 3
    'Quick March' start off walking and start to swing your arm up to your own shoulder height
