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.
I was in that location around the same time, and the marching was I think just a method for getting a body of troops from A to B. On one lunchtime I seem to recall having to get from the far end of the classrooms huts to the mess. The class in front seemed to be dawdling, so our class indicated, pulled out and overtook the class in front.
While it may not have been parade standard, the overtaking class were all in step and marching at a longer pace than the class we were overtaking.
