It's a ceremonial parade rest. If you never served at 8th and I or HMX-1, you wouldn't have been exposed to it.
Edit: Or Marine Band...
Funny you mention that - I pinged my friend who did 20 year at 8th & I, retired Master Gunney (Marine Band). He had to ping friends to find out as well - it is a ceremonial parade rest, but rarely used. About the only examples I can find involve holding a Garand or with a bugle tucked under the arm.
