Like ourselves much :P ?
But, seriously, DCA was moving towards much more active drill than before in the late 80's or so. I mean, the difference in the drill I marched in, say, '84 (not with the corps one would assume from my avatar) and, oh, '88/'89, was huge. And, well, since the corps I was in back then went on early alot, I got to see many of the others, and I'd say the same held mostly true for them, too.
