I'm glad I'm retired, SSG (Join to see). If not, you could only visit me at the USDB at Leavenworth! SSG(P) (Join to see)

I've been to this ceremony countless times. At the beginning of each guard change, the Sergeant of the Relief faces the entire audience, explains the ceremony and its significance, and then strongly requests silence and standing (unless someone is incapacitated). Anyone that has ears knows what's expected. SSG (Join to see) SSG (Join to see) LTC Orlando Illi SSG(P) (Join to see) SGT Jim Arnold

So what you're saying is this person was either too lazy to stand up or was committing blatant and intentional disrespect?

I honestly don't know what this person's motivations were, SSG (Join to see). I do know what the sergeant strongly requests. I've seen them pause, wait for complete quiet and for ALL to stand before facing about to begin the ceremony. EVERYONE knows what's expected. When I took my son, he stood with me at attention.

A miscreant disrespectful of honored dead. Priceless.

SGT Jamie Barrie, they'd have accused you of racism. But I like your avenue of approach. I'd love to have shot that SOB in the head. But I just can't fathom putting a 230gr FMJ .45 round through that much bullshit.

Be a waste of good lead. Plus too much noise.
