Just for laughs...

Someone explain this one to me?

Colours refers to ceremonial flag-raising at sunrise, which is accompanied by a Reveille and the national anthem. Military custom is to face said flags at attention (and salute if in uniform) as they are being raised.

Its funny because when no one knows the direction of the post flag (the flag you are supposed to face) you get everyone facing random directions... north, south, east, west, into walls, or better yet facing each other and saluting awkwardly while the music plays. :joyful:

Army humor ;)

And a Marine one:

But wouldn't they all be left behind? I mean, no one is leaving!
I've apparently neglected to mention how much military personnel don't want to be outside for Colours.
