They do their thing once a week in the summer at the Iwo Jima memorial in Arlington. I used to live w/in waking distance and would check 'em out a few times everu summer.
I don't think TV could really capture how impressive it is. |

I have seen 8/I do a burial. While they were very impressive, the situation wasn't.
I have never seen their parade drills. |

When I first saw that film I immediately knew they weren't Marines from 8th & I, but I kind of suspected they might have been a high school JROTC team. Some of those kids are good, amazingly good. |

I'd have to pull my DVD out again, but I was thinking it was a college/university team. Still, they were pretty impressive. |

I've seen them a few times. Their discpline and precision is impecable. A friend of mine from Force was on the team in the late '80's.

I saw the Presidents' Own and the Silent Drill Team on Parris Island back in '86 or early '87. I was so impressed on how they could march onto the field at a different tempo then the music the band was playing.

Saw them at halftime during a Texans game. I'd seen them on TV before, but they were much more impressive in person.

Suprising topic to me.
I was on the Drill Team from 92-95. No that wasnt us on a few Good Men.We heard it was some Drill team from a Texas University.The Drill Team is extremely busy between May and October with parades and prior engagements around the country.So I guess they didnt approach us. By the way my last year there they made it a point or I should say Commandant Mundy made a point to change the name to Silent Drill Platoon and not Team. We used to Drill for 18 hours a day when we trained for our new parade season in Yuma, AZ.Very tough detail. If you guys have any questions Feel free to post or email me.And I will answer best I can.

I saw them along with the Marine Corps Band at the Iwo Jima Memorial a few years ago. It was very impressive.
