Outstanding! I’ve always wondering what kind of intensive training these fine men have to go through to become a Tomb Guard. Does anyone have any idea?

They must have some very intensive training. Special dedicated Soldiers do this 24 hours a day every day! Here is a nice video report:

I read two of the links provided, but didn’t see either mention that the guards take a lifelong pledge not to drink alcohol or to use curse words.
