Good Lord, what military were you in?
You think that one has to be an officer to move troops, or call formations to attention, or to command soldiers to attention?
How was basic training for you? Only officers called you to attention?
I was in the US Army from 1965 to 1986. Very seldom did officers drill the troops, the closest they came was when we’d have a pass in review parade. The only people I heard use “attention” were young officers and very young NCOs.
We seldom saw officers in Basic, they were only involved if major disciplinary action was needed.
