I recently witnessed a bad version of an advancement ceremony for a PFC and am looking to give a class to some Sr NCO's on how the ceremony works, i.e. fall in, about face, CMDR come to front, soldier post, etc, etc.... I cannot find the exact procedure in the drill and ceremony TM. is there anything that lists out the exact steps for events like this and awards? ....btw I am in the National Guard so the units do not do these very often... any help is appreciated. thanks?

Isn't that covered in FM 22-5 Drill and Ceremony? Sorry it's been a day or 10,000.

SGT (Join to see) well sorry I wasn't much help. My VFW manual on rituals, while great, may not be what you are looking for.
Interestingly enough my company would do promotions as we did them in the military, as our CEO at the time is a veteran.

You can't. There are general guidelines in the TC and FH, and basic movements that all should know, like breaking ranks, facing movements, reporting to the CO, etc. But the overall structure of ceremonies vary as much as the experience of the command team.
Some, such as Change of command and change of responsibility are more structured, in fact there is even a module in SSD 4 on it.
If your concerns center around basics, such as movement, facing, etc. I suggest you talk to your CSM or 1SG about volunteering to conduct a review as part of NCOPD. I know first hand how rusty we part timers are

While I applaud and support your goal, be wise about your approach. There is in fact a way to approach this tactfully. Thank you for your service.

thank you CSM I am always careful in how I approach things. Being older with a break in service I get a little leeway in thing I want to do.
