We are getting a little off topic, but tactics have changed since our days. There are three types of ready positions that a professional soldier can use. One is the pro holds the weapon near his right shoulder and pointing down toward his left foot (but not AT his left foot) so he can bring it up, into his shoulder, quickly and fire accurately. This method is the best because it is quick, efficient, and easy to maintain for long periods while on patrol.
