Sorry for yet another PT question

Is this mostly done while standing guard, or do you do this while receiving instruction as well?

Nah, watch isn't bad because you rove every 20 minutes or so, you don't really have to stand still for that long.

I was thinking of inspections (and all of the practice inspections your RDCs will do to get you ready for them). Inspections can go like two hours, depending on how thorough they're being and you just have to stand at attention in front of your bunk and stare straight forward. You also stand at attention whenever you're in formation but not moving, when talking to an RDC, when the RDCs are mad at your division but not mad enough (or too lazy to) IT you etc.

I did practice a little bit last night while watching some tv.. I can imagine it's not real exciting when you're actually waiting for and RDC to inspect you.
