 CHAR: At the beginning of the promotion ceremony promoting Capt.  Carter to Major, as the newly promoted General McNiell enters the  gate room he begins marching, or steps off, with his right foot. No  military man of any time in service would step off with his right  foot because all forward marching steps off with the left. A man  with enough time in service to become a general would never commit  such an obvious error especially during a ceremony.
