Guidon Bearer (GB)
If you’re assigned to be the Guidon Bearer for this upcoming LLAB, here are some basic tips:
- If you need or would like to, arrive early so you can practice handling the Guidon. You are responsible for your flight's Guidon throughout the entirety of LLAB. You will be carrying the Guidon through the doors, up and down stairs, and of course onto the Barton Hall floor.
- Before going through doors, lower the Guidon forwards in front of you and yell: "(Your Flight’s phonetic name) Flight, Guidon through the door!" You want to say this as loud and proud as you can, then proceed to move with haste through the doorway.
- Take extreme pride in handling the Guidon. It's a really simple yet crucial job for our flight. Remember that the spade should be situated parallel to the line (broad side in line with the flight); if it’s pointing forward (broad side facing sideways) it signals that we are at war.
- This website is a great reference to learn the correct procedures of how to carry the Guidon. http://www.drillpad.net/DPguidon(AF).htm. Please go through this site carefully to be sure you know where to position the guidon, and how to salute with the guidon in hand.
- You do not need to send an email to the flight as GB. However, be sure to send an email to the next GB with the information you learned from your time as GB, and anything else of importance that they may need to know.
