    Explanation
    The number one priority for a flight commander when marching is the safety of the flight. This means ensuring that all members of the flight are following proper safety procedures and protocols while marching, minimizing the risk of accidents or injuries. Safety should always be the top concern in any military operation, and the flight commander's role is to prioritize and maintain the well-being of the entire flight during the marching process.

      Right foot

    • C.

      Left hand

    • D.

      Right hand

    Correct Answer
    B. Right foot
    Explanation
    When put at ease in formation, the correct foot to pivot on is the right foot. In military formations, "at ease" is a position where soldiers are allowed to relax but still maintain their military posture. When pivoting, it is customary to pivot on the right foot, as it allows for better balance and control while maintaining the formation.

    What command is given when the rear flight is falling behind in a squadron?

    Correct Answer
    Close on the leading flight
    close on the leading flight
    Explanation
    This answer suggests that the command given when the rear flight is falling behind in a squadron is to "close on the leading flight". This means that the rear flight should move closer to the leading flight in order to maintain formation and keep up with the rest of the squadron. By closing the distance between the two flights, they can ensure that they stay together and continue flying in unison.

    Correct Answer
    B. Element Leaders
    Explanation
    In squadron formation, element leaders are allowed to raise their hand and yell safety when coming up to a safety hazard. This is because element leaders are responsible for the safety and well-being of their specific group or "element" within the squadron. They have the authority to identify and address safety hazards to ensure the overall safety of the squadron.

    Guide/Guidon Bearers are the first to enter the building and first to leave the building.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because Guide/Guidon Bearers are not necessarily the first to enter and leave the building. While they may play a role in leading a group or procession, they do not have a specific role in entering or leaving a building. The order of entry and exit would depend on various factors such as protocol, hierarchy, or specific instructions given by the leadership.

  • 7. 

    You can bend your knees when performing an About Face

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    When performing an About Face, which is a military drill movement, you are not supposed to bend your knees. The correct execution of an About Face involves keeping your legs straight and pivoting on the balls of your feet to make a 180-degree turn. Bending the knees would disrupt the proper form and technique of the movement. Therefore, the statement "You can bend your knees when performing an About Face" is false.

    Rate this question:

    Which of the following places are you not allowed to use facing movements?

    • A.

      Uneven surfaces

    • B.

    • D.

      Ice

    • E.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    E. All of the above
    Explanation
    Facing movements require a stable and even surface to ensure safety and proper execution. Uneven surfaces, such as rocky terrain or bumpy ground, can make it difficult to maintain balance and may result in accidents. Carpet, turf, and ice are all surfaces that can be slippery, making it unsafe to perform facing movements. Therefore, all of the above options are places where you are not allowed to use facing movements.

    • D.

      40 inches

    Correct Answer
    C. 30 inches
    Explanation
    At double time, the size of your steps is increased to cover more ground in less time. The correct answer is 30 inches, which means that while marching at double time, each step you take will be 30 inches long. This longer stride allows for faster movement and is commonly used in military drills or marching exercises to increase speed and efficiency.

    When making hospital corners, you lay the sheet on top of the mattress and create a 45-degree angle. This angle helps to secure the sheet tightly and neatly around the corners of the mattress, ensuring that it stays in place and does not come undone easily. By folding the excess fabric at a 45-degree angle, you can achieve a crisp and professional-looking corner that is commonly used in hospitals and hotels.
