When I was in the Army one of my drill sergeants had been part of the honor guard in Washington, D.C., and I remember him telling us that they had all kinds of rules they need to follow, like they couldn't drink -- for the rest of their lives.
I had no clue on how often the guard was changed so I looked it up and then followed a link to Snopes, where they debunked the not being able to drink for the rest of their lives story. Guess those who have served as guard are invested in the mythology.
