Back in college one of my classes had a US Marshal come in for a guest lecture and he went on at length about how Thanksgiving and Christmas are their busiest days of the year because they snag a shitload of fugitives that came home for the holiday.

Like, running cadences? I think the Army sings when they march, but I was a Marine, and we only sing when we run. I only know one funny one, but keep in mind nothing is funny when running. Because running sucks. Me and Superman got in a fight; hit him in the head with Kryptonite. I hit him so hard that I smashed his brain; and now I'm dating Lois Lane. Me and Batman had it out too; I kicked him in the head with all my might. I kicked him so hard I smashed his grill; and now I'm driving that Bat-Mobile. Me and the Hulk went blow for blow; but I like green so I let him go. And I know you heard about a guy named Flash; when I caught him on the track I kicked his rear end.

I'm just picturing some veteran getting out of the military, then going into police work and hearing the same cadences and realizing they done hosed up.

hypnophant posted:Why does the military need to march around like it's the 1800s? You won't see marching outside a training base or parade ground. In the most practical sense, it's because a month ago, trainees at tech school bases still had to ask permission to go to the bathroom, and are probably not responsible enough to make classes on time. A typical USAF tech school rotation involves more than a thousand students going to dozens of classes all over the base, so allowing every PVT/A1C/LCPL to drive a car would make base traffic a nightmare. Therefore, marching to and from school, lunch, appointments etc. still serves a function on training bases. Also, it's the military FFS.   Though if you ask me, standards went down the shitter as soon as we stopped wearing uniforms that required daily ironing and sleeve creases, and daily boot shining!! Police academies are not the military. uncle w benefits fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Nov 30, 2017 |

celeryman posted:Police academies are not the military.  The But, yeah, tradition. Which is the same reason departments wear basketweave belts, or class a uniforms, or service caps. While policing in Britain was developed to notionally avoid military connotations, early American police (especially state police) patterned themselves deliberately after the contemporary army, and that's reflected in the uniforms, drill, and terminology. Why else would we have sergeants, captains, etc? Hell, some of those unfortunate souls use straight up US Army ranks.

Eh, that at least serves a purpose I guess. Though it could be easily met with a mortar or artillery, as is done in a lot of northern european countries to help control avalanches.

We did cadence runs through the nearby neighborhood probably two or three days a week. Mostly yelling some form of "I could run all the way to *nearby jurisdiction* - LIKE THIS". But I also went to an academy where we had to do some form of PT every hour to earn a break. Although I think it was just an easier way for the instructors to justify turning 10 minute breaks in to 15 for themselves.

The other singular time you'll see marching is that it really just is the most efficient way to get hundreds or thousands of people moved around sometimes. It's brutally effective to just make 300 people turn and march and then stop 400 feet away to get the next issued equipment or whatever than to tell a bunch of NCOs and officers who think they're above marching "OK, go over there!" and then point. Instant clusterfuck as people mosey and gently caress with their phones or just leave.
