Description
English: Cpl. Oscar Franquez, the Silent Drill Platoon's guide and rifle inspector, practices the single inspection sequence Feb. 12, 2011, at the Marine Corps Air Station in Yuma, Ariz. The Silent Drill Platoon from Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., also known as 8th & I, comes to the station annually to complete Silent Drill School and to prepare for the Marine Corps Battle Colors Detachment tour. During the show, Franquez plays the role of rifle inspector in the inspection sequence, demonstrating elaborate rifle spins and tosses. The rifle being spun is the M-1 Garand used during World War II. "It's a great honor and privilege to be a part of the Silent Drill Platoon," said Franquez. "It is not only a chance to represent the Marine Corps, but your family and where you come from." The Battle Colors ceremony is scheduled for March 3, 2011, at 10:30 a.m. on the station parade field. Two free performances for the public are scheduled for March 3, 2011, at 7 p.m. at Kofa High School and March 4, 2011, at 7 p.m. at Arizona Western College.
