Reporting In: When told to proceed, the Flight Commander (FC) will march his/her flight in to the inspection area and center the Flight on the head judge and report in. The report will include the FC’s name and flight designation. Grading will begin with the report. The head judge will direct the FC to prepare the flight for inspection.
- At this time the FC will position him/her-self approximately 6 paces from and centered on the Flight and give the command of Open Ranks March. Upon the command of Open Ranks March the FC will perform a cursory alignment on all elements.
- Once the cursory inspection is completed the FC will go 3 paces past the GOB, execute a left face and give the command of Ready Front. Take one step forward and execute a Right Face, salute and report to the Head Judge that the flight is prepared for inspection.
- The head judge will return salute and tell the FC to proceed with inspection procedures.
