This video explains the grueling process of becoming a sentinel for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. I am sure we have some honor guards and sentinels on RallyPoint. Perhaps they can add to this for those that are interested.

SPC Eric Hurdle Here are the physical requirements for soldiers volunteering to guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. They must be in excellent shape. They require ongoing physical training when not on guard duty. They must possess a perfect military record, and stand between 5 feet, 10 inches and 6 feet, 4 inches tall. Their physical build should match their height.
