** For more formal occassions, usually while in formation, the command of "Parade Rest" is given instead. While some shuffling and looking around is allowed when At Ease, Parade Rest requires standing stock still and looking forward. It does have the advantage of being less likely to cause personnel to pass out either from locking their knees or tensing their leg muscles (both very easy to do at that position, and both being likely to cause a blood pressure drop leading to fainting while standing.)

* In the US Military, personnel are forbidden to have their hands in their pockets, as it appears unprofessional. This leaves 3 main stances - hands across the chest, hands across the back, and hands straight down. Hands across the chest is a defensive position and usually avoided (unless it is cold). Hands straight down is strongly associated with the position of Attention, and [[DrillSergeantNasty a lot of yelling]], and is discouraged unless a lot of yelling is needed. Hands behind the back tends to be used in a more casual environment, such as when the Old Man is lecturing his troops ([[RamblingOldManMonologue no, not like that...]] well, o.k., maybe sometimes). Often the 'at ease' stance is used to signal to the troops that what follows will be a [="business as usual"=] speech (or maybe even a FatherToHisMen moment).

* A signature tic of {{ComicBook/Darkseid}}, Franchise/{{Superman}}'s awesome foe, is to go arms behind the back while doing some Exposition about how whatever the heroes can throw at him will mean nothing, or stuff like that. The counter to Superman's WorldOfCardboardSpeech in ''[[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice League Unlimited]] is a good example, as is his beating of both Superman and Supergirl in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanApocalypse''.

* In ''[[Literature/HoratioHornblower Lieutenant Hornblower]]'' the officers on the quarterdeck are described as walking "with their hands clasped behind them as a result of the training they had all received as midshipmen not to put their hands in their pockets."" The novel ''The Commodore'' has a pointed subversion with Lieutenant Mound, who repeatedly reaches for his pockets before remembering that he's in the presence of a very senior officer. Commodore Hornblower eventually orders him to just do it and quit fidgeting, at which point Mound falls into a comfortable slouch.

* In early seasons of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' Jadzia Dax walked about with her arms behind her back, to demonstrate the "old man" that was inside her. A later episode, in which Dax's colleagues temporarily embody the symbiont's previous hosts, reveals that she got it from an earlier host, a politician who started doing it because she gestured too much while speaking.

# Military personnel, while on duty but not actively engaged in some activity (for instance, in formation but not being inspected, waiting for inspection formation, or waiting to be told to form up for inspection). The stance shown in the picture is known as "Parade Rest" in the US military (and possibly elsewhere) and "At Ease" in TheCommonwealth. (The name is fitting as a Marching Band, includeing non-military, will take this pose as best they are able with their instruments, when standing in formation as well)
