In the position of attention, your hips are actually supposed to be aligned with your shoulders, not in front of them. The correct posture for the position of attention is to stand with your feet together, heels touching, toes pointed out at a 45-degree angle, and your body straight and aligned. This position helps to maintain balance and a proper military bearing.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False

However, in order to transition to parade rest, one must first be in the position of attention, where the individual stands with their feet together, arms straight down by their sides, and their eyes forward. Therefore, the statement that you can only go to parade rest from the position of attention is true.
