Question

For morning assembly prayers, should I be at ease or at attention?

Community Answer

A modified form of "at ease." Interlace your fingers at hip height in front of your body, bow your head, and keep your feet 30" apart.

Question

Which foot should be relaxed if I am standing at ease?

Community Answer

None! You are not at stand easy. The goal of stand at ease is to make you pay attention to something without being too stiff.

Question

What position should my hands be in while I am in the attention position?

Community Answer

Make a fist with each hand, with your thumb extended outside of the fist. Place your arms straight downwards and do not bend your elbows. Line your thumbs with your seams on your trousers.

Question

How should I stand at attention?

Community Answer

Heels together, feet pointed out at a 45 degree angle, head and eyes straight forward, both hands closed with the thumbs along the seam of your pants. You stand perfectly still. No gum-chewing, talking or messing around!

Question

During prayer in a school assembly, should the cadets stand at attention or at ease?

Community Answer

I think if it's during prayer, one should be standing at ease, but as soon as the colors are raised or lowered the cadets should be at attention.
