Drill command Qns

Hellraiza SG

Hey guys,

during my BMT, my CSM thought me this command while on the march, Hormat Ke-Hadapan. command given while marching, once given, berhenti, then... check up (salute) check down, check up again, then check down, check turn (keblakang pusing) check bang, check left right...march off. Anyone understand what i'm talking about? lol. If you do, what is this used for?

And once sneaked a peak at my ex-RSM's drill manual...if i'm not wrong it's a 1986 version. Saw this section on "Whip/Pistol/Bayonet Drills" but before could turn to the page RSM entered the room... any "veterans" care to share anything they know about this? Thanks alot! Very Happy

From what my BMT PS told me, it was supposed to be for when you are marching with the guy you are supposed to salute in front of you. You can't possibly march into him, so you have to turn back after you are done saluting.

I didn't know whether he was joking when he said this, but the look on his face was indescriptable...

the hell….then if the place the platoon wants to march to is behind him then how?

Then the platoon will split and walk through the VIP. Rolling Eyes

Duh! They will stop and the commander will ask the VIP to scram one side. Twisted Evil

Should be" One, Check, Bang( on the right leg), then you turn around on the left and move off?

Hormat kehadapan is a training meant for saluting the parade/platoon ic when reporting strength etc.

Stop, salute, greet/report, salute, return to position.

Cool

Gordonator SG

so 3 steps is it? can anyone else comfirm? Question

(btw, should be turn around on your right not left.)

Nelstar SG

Command given on left foot

Check with right foot, left, right, left, bang

then march on left out.

Gordonator SG

ok so total 5 steps right? the fifth step is the bang, then left foot march off correct? i always remember it as 5 steps, cos 3 steps seems too little.

Nelstar SG

but the most stupid is ke kanan and ke kiri... on the march..

idiots will snake march.

"Hormat Ke-hadapan, Hor.....Mat!" (Salute to the front, salute!)
This drill is to practice the soldier when he needs to march forward to the superior officer during parade ceremonial for reporting, asking permission for inspection/dismissal etc... He will march towards the officer, halt, salute, report, salute, about turn then march off... Wink

Gordonator SG

the ke kanan and ke kiri bu sing while marching is one of the hardest to master.

btw, what do u mean by snake march? Question

Nelstar SG

Well, when u dont have a straight row marching, what do you call that?
