You do it in boot camp and then never again, unless you're in the band or the drill team I guess. These guys are probably gonna be practicing for a few weeks before the real thing, though that doesn't mean it will look great because I'm sure there are a bunch of problems that they'll run into on the day of that they haven't thought of yet.

A few weeks absolutely isn't enough to match the Chinese performance they put on at Victory Day. Gonna make some comparisons afterwards lol it's gonna look shambolic side by side.

Why did I read the comments on that? So many smug Americans bragging about their mob of child murderers.

Isn't DC a swamp? Whats the temp and humidity expected to be out there during the parade?

Better start taking bets on how many soldiers fall out to heat.

Would be just chefs-kiss if some of those tanks broke down during the parade though.
