We did it at Cosford in the 1980s, when on a course of up to 3 years. We talked to each other as well. Up to 10 “marches” a day between lectures in all weather. If they had demanded parade standard, I would have quit on day 2.
When my course arrived at Halton in 1975, "they" (the Discip's) didn't want we, mere mortal mechanics, to soil the Appo Parade Ground. And so we were bannished from that 'hello!' ground to forever walk the footpath of doom, unescorted by Squeally Cat Band or bellowing DI, to and from workshops every day.
A very nice relief from Swinditz, to be able to walk in lines at our own pace for a few months...
