Show 7 April 8, 1999 7 Guard, from page 6 NCOIC, Guard volunteers are trained in various tasks and duties and usually assigned to one of several teams, including the colors team, the pallbearers team, the firing party, and the drill team. The colors team is responsible for carrying our nation's flags. The pall bearers team, called the "Muscle of the Guard" is responsible for escorting the remains of fallen comrades to their final resting place and is responsible for folding the U.S. flag to be handed to the grieving family. The firing party fires three volleys over the grave, historically clearing a way for the departing soul and keeping evil spirits away. This group strives for "boomers," three shots rendered in unison. The drill team's complex routines, performed with a fully functional M-- l rifle, demonstrate teamwork, professionalism and discipline. Dammer thinks that many people on base have a misconception of the Guard. He said that most believe, and he used to think the same before he joined the team, that the Honor Guard puts themselves above everyone else, that there is an arrogance surrounding the team. "It's really not like that," Dammer said. "We have a good time in the Honor Guard. We're doing a very important job, paying homage to the flag and these veterans who have served their country. It's something that has to be done. It's only proper that a veteran gets this military funeral, and we're the ones who have to do it. It's important that we do it professionally." "The funerals are the most important," agreed departing head trainer, SrA. Jesse Castillo. "You're honoring someone for their service to their country. Family members come up to you after the service and thank you for being there. It's a good feeling." The team practices a minimum of six hours, during the first and third weeks of each month, on formations, protocol and ceremony and performs up to 300 details per year.
