My only involvement ever was in 1962, when I was part of the drill team at the Navy school on Treasure Island in San Francisco, and we were to march in the parade (which was why I joined). I bet we actually marched 10 miles, with all the maneuvers we did.

My Dad trained on Treasure Island with the Marines! In the early 1950’s, during the Korean War. He learned to program the first Univac computers. I visited Treasure Island with my parents in 1996. There is a museum there for the 1939 World’s Fair held there. So cool.
All I remember is counting the routines so i wouldn't miss anything and make a public idiot of myself - all the crowd noise was distracting. We'd done all our drills in a nice silent old navy gym.

It is a long parade route. Must have been a memorable experience.

Did you have to toss your rifles (if that’s the right word for your firearm?) in the air?
