USAF Honor Guard rubber chicken bearing test
To be a ceremonial guardsman in the United States Air Force Honor Guard, you have to maintain military bearing at all times, even if you have a rubber chicke...
Thoughts? My own personal opinion is that the person filming this should be choked (some of you will get that :-) )...I revised my opinion that this is a lack of professionalism though, and think it maybe just should have tried to avoid YouTube - thank you CMSgt (Join to see)

Hmmm. Reminds me of History of the World Part 1. The concubine vs eunuch scene. I guess it works to demonstrate how hard it can be to keep a straight face but is pretty embarrassing to see on YouTube or whatever.

SSgt Joe V. I feel your pain. If it was a Navy video I'd be just as embarrassed as you. I think it's a great training tool though.

I've always wondered how these guys are trained to put up with the crap that they do...maybe it's a rubber chicken?!

Why not? If you can keep your bearing with a rubber chicken in your face, you can probably keep it thru most anything! ;-)

I managed to get through Basic and OTS without breaking my position of attention except for one time when we were at attention and an upperclassman came up the hall and shouted "Does anyone think this joke is a program?"

As the guy that brought the first chicken in back in 2003 I have to say I am sad to see a video of it but happy people still bring them in. You have no idea how hard it is to not lose yourself at some of the stupid things that can happen when on the job. I saw an elderly man's pants fall down when he stood up to speak. not one laugh from the formations at that event. I watched an old Marine vet hit the dirt during the firing party first volley and then pop his head up over a grave stone during the second volley. Seen Generals and Secretaries trip, fall, and more while standing on the marks. Hell had a SECAF fart loudly in front of the Colors Team as he took that stage, not one peep. The chicken looks stupid but is tons of fun and it works. Still sad to see a video of it.
