Answer 2

Taken directly from the Drill Seargent's instruction module...

Facing to the rear is a two-count movement. On the command of execution FACE of About, FACE, this being count one, move the toe of the right foot to a point on the
marching surface about half the length of the foot to the rear and slightly to the left of the left heel. Rest most of the weight of the body on the heel of the left foot and allow the right knee to bend naturally. NOTE: Throughout these movements the remainder of the body remains as in the position of attention.

On count two, turn to the right 180 degrees on the left heel and the ball of the right foot, resuming the position of attention. Arms remain at the sides, as in the position of
attention, throughout this movement.

Answer 3

3. “About, FACE” is a two-count movement.

a. At the command “About,” shift your weight to your left leg without noticeable movement.

b. On count one at the command “FACE,” place your right toe half a foot length behind and slightly to the left of your heel. Do not change the position of your left foot. Rest your weight evenly on the left heel and the ball of the right foot.

c. On count two, turn smartly to the right until facing rear. The turn is made on the left heel and ball of the right foot. The knees remain straight, but not locked during the movement. Your thumbs will remain on the seams of your trousers. If properly executed you will be at the position of attention facing in the opposite direction.

Answer 4

1. Stand at the position of attention.
2. Take your right foot and place the front part of your foot on the ground roughly six inches behind your left foot while gently rocking back on your left heel.
3. Make a rotation to the right and if performed correctly, your feet will be back at the position of attention.

It may take a few tries, but eventually you will figure out where your foot goes when you place it behind you. It's a little different for everyone.

Answer 5

On the command "right", you put your right foot back, toe down. On the command, "face", your right toe spins you clockwise on your left heel
