Drill is any smart, timed, military action, which is used to standardise the movement of men or operation of equipment. Common drill movements and how to execute them:
Marching:
Marching is the smart walk used by the military. When you march, you lead off with your left foot and your right arm, and bring your right arm parallel with your shoulder. Then, you bring your right foot about 20cm in front of your left foot, and at the same time bring your left arm parallel with your shoulder. The timing for this is left, right, left... at 120 steps/minute. Although it sounds complicated, the movement comes naturally and is really just a form of walking.
Attention:
Standing at attention is one of the most basic drill actions, and is when a cadet stands smartly, feet together and arms by the sides. It is a simple, one-action movement - when a person with rank shouts the order "'shun", you immediately stand up straight, with your heels together, feet 45 degrees apart, hands down the seams of your trousers, chest out and head up. You do not leave the attention position unless ordered to.
Ease:
The ease position is another standing position used by the military. It is a very easy movement - when given the order ("ease"), you immediately stand up straight, legs about 1ft apart, chest out, head up and hands behind your back.
Salute:
A salute is a sign of respect to a commissioned officer, used by all military services. The movement is a big circle with your right hand flat, until you reach your eye, the timing of which is "up-2-3-down." On the "down," you bring your arm straight down to the seam of your trouser.
Right Dress:
This Is the military way to arrange a flight of cadets into straight lines. First everyone must be in ranks of three. The command will come "Right Dress" - at this point, you put your head and eyes to the right, and if on the front row, you put your right arm up at 90 degrees and move until your fist is just touching the person next to you. If you are on the end rank and are centre or back, then you put your right arm up 90 degrees in front of you until it is just touching the person in front.
Although drill sounds complicated when the theory is explained, the reality is that it is very easy. Most probationer cadets achieve a basic ability to do drill after only 8 parades.
