Lets not forget the ever popular command 'Stand at Ease' which is 'Parade Rest' that allows you to follow the speaker with your eyes and head. In the Army 'Rest' is the only position that truely allows you to move any part of your body. The motion is automatic upon hearing the prepatory command from the element leader. Also, at least in the Army drill manual, you must go to 'Parade Rest' from 'At Ease' prior to going to 'Attention'. It is designed to be used as the name suggests during reviews so that the soldiers do not have to stand at 'Attention' while the dignitaries are talking (which can take a very long time). “There are a few times that we may not understand what they are going through, but we can understand their courage and sacrifice just be watching the news everyday.In the Air Force 'Parade Rest' seems like a more strict 'At Ease', wheras the Army it is a less strict position of 'Attention'.

He taught his first Bible School class just after turning 18, and, to this day, serves as chaplain for the Farmersville Union School District. At the age of 5, he had joined the Royal Rangers, a community service group for boys. Born in south Texas and raised in Parlier, Calif., Benavides understood the importance of having positive role models, adults that you could count. That time is better left in the past.”Īs far as Benavides was concerned, it was time for him to get back to his true calling of ministering to youth. When get together now, we find better things to talk about.

“Let's just say you didn't want to wear your uniform anywhere,” Benavides said. Unlike US soldiers returning from World War II, Benavides said there was no grand welcome, no community celebrations, and no parades. America's anti-war sentiment during the Vietnam War had labeled soldiers as baby killers, mercenaries and war mongers.

What he saw in war was horrific, “something I don't like to talk about.” But what he saw when he returned home was even harder to witness. Already a certified minister with the Assembly of God ministries, he chose to be a field medic, rushing to save lives, just as he had seen his faith save so many.
