Nope, this is what happens when a soldier forgets to bend at least one of his knees when standing at attention on the parade ground. If you do not do this you will eventually faint due to not enough blood returning to your upper body.
Better not to ask me how I know about this. Was in boot camp in formation listening to the C/O address all of us and the next thing I knew was being on the ground surrounded by the DI's trying to wake me up. We later had a short class with everyone about bending your knees while at attention...
