  1. Start running on the very next step
  2. Take one more quick-time step, then step off in double time ✔
  3. Halt and then start running

Why: The command of execution is given as a foot strikes the ground. Cadets take one more step in quick time and then begin double time, a jog-like march.

Huh, didn't know that: Going back, Quick Time, MARCH means two more double-time steps, then quick time again.

Why did the cadet like double time? Twice the steps, same great company.
