[lurchenstein]

That was motivating. Who wants to run Mount Muther F****R?
Leftee-righta-left, leftee doubletime.
How does Mount Muther F****R (Camp San Onofre) compare to Currahee (Camp Toccoa, 506th PIR - "Band of Brothers")?

[wrbones]

If this doesn't turn yer crank, nuthin' will!


http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2436&highlight=You+want+motivation


Turn yer speakers on fer the links that are in this thread!

[lurchenstein]

I made it through the week properly motivated. Thanks & Semper Fi, Marine.

[lurchenstein]

Join me at the foot of Mount MUTHER F****R for daily PT.
Give me some PT ! Good for you & good for me!

[wrbones]

Daily PT at Mount Mother****er! LOL.

There goes the day! LMAO

[greybeard]

An interesting read here:
http://www.hackworth.com/19jan99.html

Ya mean Mt MF is still there? I figured it would be worn down to a mole hill by now.
Golf Company on the road!!!!!!

[lurchenstein]

Greybeard, if it's ground down it won't be any good. (We run Suribachi instead.)
Good link. I don't believe our military has ever been all on line, locked & loaded at the start. It's good to have force multipliers. equalizers & trump cards (machines), and be able to adapt when they break down. I believe our troops are as capable as ever (just new times & new war-fighting technology).
Semper Fi to you.

[greensideout]

Are you kidding? What's this about!?

The Army was doing this stuff, but not the Marines! At least not in 1960. No cadences were sung or ALLOWED! This was at MCRD, San Deigo. (The real thing. Sorry PI boys. LOL)

The only marching sound you would hear was that of a Marine D.I. taking sound, dressing it right, and covering it down. It came out something like this---ARA ADUL LEFT ARA LEFT ARA LEFT.
HEALS, HEALS, HEALS--- DIG EM IN GIRLS---YOR LEFT ER RIGHT ER LEFT.

I still here it in my sleep.

[firstsgtmike]

For you marchers, I'll give you one.

Picture a 64 man marching platoon, 8 squads of 8 men each. No "Left Turn" no "Right Turn" , direction was changed by flanking movements, and "To The Rear".

Then it was, "First Squad to the Rear", Second Squad to the Rear", etc. Depending on the direction of march, the outboard squad could either be the eight squad or the first squad. You had to remember where you were.

Okinawa, the early 60's. We made surprise wake up visits to the army and air force bases.

We weren't as good as the Silent Drill Team in D.C. and although we were miles behind them, I still think we came in second.

NOTE: In the above, the facing movements were NOT followed by the Command of Execution. Because when I give an order, I expect it to be obeyed, NOW.

Semper Fi

[lurchenstein]

Sounds well thought out (base of 8 Marines no matter which way you move). No obliques?

[lurchenstein]

Fall in for Drill! FIRST SGT MIKE, will you do the honors?

[firstsgtmike]

For the "New Corps".

On a parade deck, you have two Marines, standing back to back. How many commands does it take to get them both facing in the same direction?

[lurchenstein]

One Command: "FALL IN." The 2 Marines form in line (both facing the same direction) at normal interval.

[lurchenstein]

Thank you Bones. Should I go back & study? Will you be joining us on the Grinder? Semper Fi!

[lurchenstein]

Tell me Bones:
Did I step on my d*ck with 1 foot (or both) on this one?

[wrbones]

Naw! Hell, you know wingers got no time fer drill! We're workin all time! We ain't got time fer playin around like that! :D:D:D

Had the CIC FMFPAC drop by once, we threw somethin' together fer a squadron formation for him on the flight line and he said he was impressed...we didn't tell him that that right oblique was a screw up, but he was impressed! LOL.

[lurchenstein]

Thought I'd give it a shot. I approached it from a practical standpoint (get these 2 Marines back on the road). Hope FIRST SGT MIKE will enlighten me on this one without chewing my *ss too badly.
Last time I drilled was at a Change of Command (Base CG) at 29 Palms. Simple enough marching the Marines to the "General's Lawn", more difficult keeping some of them on their feet.

[firstsgtmike]

lurchenstein,

Don't be so sensitive.

Your answer is correct, and the only one I know of.

I've heard that question asked about ten times, and watched people struggle for an answer.

I've only asked it myself one time before. It was to eight army recruters who worked out of an office down the hall from mine.

When I left, they were arguing amongst themselves. My only regret was that I didn't get it down on tape. It would have been good competition for "Who's on first, What's on second, and I Don't Know is at third."

I finally took pity on them and sent a poolee down to give them the answer.
-----------------------------
I don't know if you'll remember the recruiting slogan but...

The air force recruiter was being visited by his Commanding General, and two or three other heavyweights. His office was small, and he sat behind a desk facing the open door. Visitors were seated with their backs to the wall.

He wasn't looking too happy as I passed by, and I felt perhaps a joke would cheer him up. I stood in the doorway, looking at him and ignoring the presence of his visitors.

"Tom, I had the spookiest, scariest, weirdest nightmare I've ever had in my life last night, I'm still shaking from it."

"What was it?" "I dreamt I woke up and found myself in the air force." "What a nightmare!"

And I left.
------------------------

I guess I spend hald my time reliving old memories, and the other half creating new ones.

Semper Fi

[lurchenstein]

Agreed & thanks FIRST SGT MIKE. My first instinct is to over analyze situations. Then a little sense creeps in and reminds me to "keep it simple". Sometimes I don't trust my memory on events from 20+ years ago. (I'm open to correction.)
Semper Fidelis & Best Regards to you!

[thedrifter]

Left Right your Left
Lefty Right your Left
Lefty Right your Left.
I left the sky in the middle of the night
I hit the deck and I'm ready to fight.
A grease gun and Kabar by my side
These are the tools that make men die.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.
Here I lie in this foreign land
Bleeding on this foreign sand
Ground around me turning red
By the time they find me, I'll be dead.

Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the middle of the night in the drizzle and rain,
I packed my chute and I ran to the plane.
Mission top secret there's a mission unknown,
We don't know if we're ever comin' home.
Stand up buckled up shuffled to the door,
Jumped right out and shout MARINE CORPS!
If my chute don't open wide.
I've got another one by my side.
If that chute don't open round.
I'll be the first one on the ground.
Orraaahhh!
Blood and Guts
Orraaahhh!
Thats all right
Blood and Guts
Every where
Orraaahhh!

Tell my mama not to cry
In the Marine Corps you will do or die.
Pin my wings upon my chest
Tell my girl I've done my best.
Place a Kabar in my hand.
I'll fight my way to the promised land.
Orraaahhh!
Blood and Guts
Everywhere
That's us
That's us
Lean and mean
US Marine
Orraaahhh!
Orraaahhh!


Sempers,

Roger

[Phantom Blooper]

Does anyone remember the words to the cadence for "My Marine thats far away" ?

[thedrifter]

Joinin' the Corps
Left, left, left right left,
Ohh your left, left, your left 'cha right ya left 'cha right 'cha left.
All I know is what I'm told.
The Marine Corp. makes me Tough and Bold.

Ohhh, kissed my mama at the door.
Told her I was joinin' the Corps.
Got there at a quarter 'till four,
And I was pushin' on the floor.

Ohhh sound off, 1 2,
Sound off, 3 4,
1 2 3 4, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!

Oh, We PT all day long and run all night.
We're the only ones who really fight.
Full of pride and Marine might.
I've grown up just right.

So I say left, right, LEFT, RIGHT!
Left, left, 'cha left 'cha right 'cha left.

Now everywhere I go I sing this song,
Or I'll be pushin' all day long.
Now there's just one more thing to say,
When you're with the Corps you're there to stay!

Oh sound off, 1 2,
Sound off, 3 4,
1 2 3 4 UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Test
Marine Corps Boot Camps are the best!
They will put you to the test.

And then when you are finally done,
You will be number one.

If you cant make it don’t you cry,
The Marine Corps motto is Semper Fi!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------




We're the Proud
We're the Few, We're the Proud
We're the Few, We're the Proud,
We're the ones who are so LOUD.

We're the best of the best,
For in War Time We don't rest.

We are taught how to KILL,
We have the best of every skill.

We will FIGHT for what is right,
During both the day and night.

We will fight to keep freedom FREE,
Whether or not it is for me.

We FIGHT for our Country like she's our queen,
That's why We are titled MARINE!

[thedrifter]

Want to be a Marine
Army, Navy wasn't for me.
The Air Force is just to easy.
I need a life that is hardcore.
So I joined the Marine Corps.
They sent me to an island with to much sand.
Parris Island where it all began.
But I can't forget about the hood.
San Diego and it's all so good.

First phase broke me down.
Second phase I was still around.
Third phase I was lean and mean,
Because I am a United States Marine.

If those of you who ask me why,
Here's to you and here's my reply.
I'll always be a Marine till the day I die.
ORRRAH MOTIVATED and SEMPER FI!

[Lake0300]

SOUND OFF WITH YOUR FAVORITE CADENCE!

Mine:

The prettiest girl,
I ever saw,
Was sippin burban,
Through a straw,

I picked her up,
I layed her down,
Her long black hair,
Lay all around,

And now I have,
A mother-in-law,
And fourtreen kids,
Who call me pa,

The moral of,
The story is clear,
INSTEAD OF BURBAN,
STICK TO BEER.

[moose]

I have way too many cadences that get me over the fatigue while running to post just one. So I'll post a few of the ones I like most.
Hope these motivate you while double timing.

Some from the movie Full Metal Jacket

I don't want no teenage queen
I just want my M14
If I die in the combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
Pin my medals upon my chest
Tell my mom I've done my best

Mamma and Pappa were lyin' in bed
Mamma rolled over this is what she said
Now gimme some
Now gimme some!
PT!
PT!
Good for you
And good for me
Up in the morning to the risin' sun
Gonna run all day, til' the running's done
Ho-Chi-Minh is a son of a ***** (Ho-Chi-Minh can be substituted for Osama bin-Laden)
Got the blue balls crabs and the seven year itch
I love workin' for Uncle Sam
Lets me know just who I am
One, two, three, four, United States Marine Corps
One, two, three, four, I love the Marine Corps
My Corps
Your Corps
Our Corps
Marine Corps!

I dont know but I've been told
Eskimo pussy is mighty cold

Tastes good
Mighty good
Good for me

MILE TEN, LET'S RUN AGAIN

C-130 going down the strip
blew a tire and the mutha ****a flipped
Well the C-130 ain't flying today
Air Force pilot went UA
Mission top secret destination unknown
so his sorry ass just stayed at home
The Colonel had a mission that he had to complete
So he reached for the phone down at his feet
He thought just a second then he said "What the Heck"
dialed 1-800-LEATHER NECK


You can keep your Army khaki,
You can keep your Navy blue,
I have the World's best fighting man,
To introduce to you
His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen,
The Germans called him "Devil Dog"
His real name is "Marine."
He was born on Parris Island,
The place where God forgot.
The sand is eighteen inches deep,
The sun is blazing hot.
He gets up every morning,
Before the rising sun.
He'll run a hundred miles and more,
Before the day is done.
He's deadly with a rifle,
A bayonet made of steel.
He took the Warrior's calling card,
He's mastered how to kill.
And when he gets to Heaven,
St. Peter he will tell,
One more Marine reporting, sir,
I've spent my time in Hell.
So listen, all you young girls,
To what I have to say;
Go find yourself a young Marine,
To love you everyday.
He'll hug you and he'll kiss you,
And treat you like a queen,
There is no better Fighting Man,
The United States Marine


One day I came out my momma's womb
I found myself in a delivery room.
All bloody and wet I rappeled to the floor
I cut the cord and shout, "MARINE CORPS".
I knew right then I was a baby Marine
The meanest little cuss you ever had seen.
Two saftey pins on my shoulders for rank
A Humvee stroller and a tricycle tank.
I had camoflage diapers and flak baby shoes
A butternut sword and baby Dress Blues.
So, I donned my Blues and I cruised through the ward
Saluting all the nurses with my butternut sword.
Then I heard all these babies crying like heck
I kicked in the hatch and yelled, "ATTENTION ON DECK"
I said, "Listen up babies, I'm in command
Crying and wimpering I will not stand"
They said, "Aye Aye, Sir" and I knew I had it made
As Commander-in-Chief of the Baby Brigade.

[RoboRobinson17]

When I die bury me deep.
With two crossed rifles laid beneath my feet
And by my side a .45 I wear,
And dont forget to pack my PT gear
Because early one mornin' around zero-five,
The grounds gonna shake there'll be thunder in the sky
Don't you get alarmed Don't you come undone.
It's just me and Chesty Puller on a PT run.

My Marine Corps came alive.
First there came the color blue,
to show the world that we are true.
Next there came the color red,
to show the world the blood we shed.
Finally there came the color green
to show the world that we are mean.


When my Grannie was 91
she did PT just for fun
When my Grannie was 92
she did PT better than you
When my Grannie was 93
she did PT better than me
When my Grannie was 94
she did PT more and more
When my Grannie was 95
she did PT to stay alive
When my Grannie was 96
she did PT just for kicks
When my Grannie was 97
she up..and died...and went to heaven
When my Grannie was 98
she did PT at the pearly gates
When my Grannie was 99
she was doin' the double time!


Born in the woods.
Raised by a bear.
I gotta double set of jaw teeth.
and a triple coat of hair.
Two brass balls.
and a cast-iron rod.
I'm a mean devil dog,
a Marine by God.

good stuff...

I happen to like this one:

I wish, I wish, I wish all the ladies
Were bells on a tower
And I was the bellboy
I'd bang 'em by the hour

I wish, I wish, I wish all the ladies
Were pies on a shelf
And I was the baker
I'd eat 'em all myself

I wish, I wish, I wish all the ladies
Were holes on a road
And I was the dumptruck
I'd fill 'em with my load

I wish, I wish, I wish all the ladies
Were bricks in a pile
And I was the mason
I'd lay 'em all like tile

Then there is this one too:

Navy, Navy, I'm in doubt
As to why you're bellies are stick'n out
Is it whiskey or is it wine
Or is it lack of PT time!

[leroy8541]

your son is dead
i shot him in the head
right between the eyes
with my forty-five

he was diggin in
now he's suckin wind
and the words he cried
right before he died

o sh**
O SH**
I shoulda been a RECON RANGER
lived my whole life in danger

[lurchenstein]

I wish, I wish, I wish all the ladies...
Maybe this one is part of the collection:

I wish all the ladies
Were statues of Venus.
And I was the sculptor
With a cast iron p3nis.

One of my favorites:

Gimme that old Marine Corps Spirit (repeat twice)
It's good enough for me.
It was good for Chesty Puller (repeat twice)
So it's good enough for me.
It was good on Iwo Jima (repeat twice)
So it's good enough for me.
It was good at the Frozen Chosin (repeat twice)
So it's good enough for me.
For you poolees:
Improvise more lines with famous Marines, famous battles of the Corps, your Leatherneck.com staff & any of Vets on this site that served in WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Beirut, Gulf I & Iraqi Freedom. (Might as well remember them all.) :marine:

[leroy8541]

Children in the school yard tryin to learn
drop a little napalm and watch them burn
-----------------------------------------------
Chesty Puller was a helluva man
Tiger of the jungle and he never ran
Lined a hundred women up against the wall
swore up and down he could screw em all
screwed ninety- eight til his balls turned blue
backed off jacked off then screwed the other two
---------------------------------------------------------

[proudUSA]

Gimme that Eagle,Globe, and Anchor (repeat twice)
and it's good enough for me
It was good at Iwo Jima
It was good at Gudalcanal
It was good in Vietnam
and it's good enough for me.

You young Marines might not have heard
that is why we spread the word
I know a man built like a bear
fighting man extradonaire
Chesty Puller was his name
a tougher Marine there never came
Back in Korea in '52
When everyone thought that he was thru
10 Divisions against his one
Anyone else woulda turned and run
10,000 men dead-on with strife
gave 37 years Horse Marine for life.

Thunder, lighting, drizzle, and rain nothing but PT on my brain-3x
left foot-2x
good foot-2x
1,2,3,4 MARINE CORE!!!-3x
This is what you asked for- 3x
1,2,3,4,UNITED STATES MARINE CORE!! 2x
1,2,3,4, mighty mighty Marine Core
Back in 1775 our Marine Core came alive
first came the color GOLD
shows the world that we are BOLD
then came the color RED
shows the world the BLOOD WE SHED
then came the color GREEN
shows the world that we are MEAN
then came the color BLUE
shows the world that we are TRUE
1,2,3,4, I LOVE THE MARINE CORE!!!
1,2,3,4, AND THAT'S WHAT I'LL DIE FOR!!!
1,2,3,4, GOD BLESS THE MARINE CORE

in the middle of the night in the drizzlin rain
i pack my chute and i run to the plane
mission top secret destination unknown

i stand up hook up shuffle to the door
i jump right out and shout
"Marine Corps!"

If anyone wants to talk,or needs some motivation dont be afraid to IM me under AIM, im under VinniecUSMC, my name is Poolee Vince Cole

[Seeley]

Came up with this in my German class today:

Stalking through the desert in the dark of night
Just me and my rifle looking for a fight
Spotter points forward and we hit the ground
In my bolt action I place one round
I close my eyes and take a deep breath
Exhale slowly and await another death
Sqeezing the trigger, never pulling back
The only sound you hear is one loud crack
Target hits the ground and struggles for his life
As I carve another notch in the stock with my knife

[R_Konieczko]

We ain't no Army
We ain't no frikkin Army!

C-130 rollin down the strip,
Us Marines are gonna take a little trip.
In the middle of the night in the drizzlin rain,
I pack my chute and I run to the plane.
Mission top secret, destination unknown,
We dont even know if were coming home.
I stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,
then I jump right out and shout,
"Marine Corps!"

[Seeley]

I think I've heard/called all the C-130 cadences I ever hope to in my life already in the past 3 years lol. They're almost all the same. As soon as someone starts off with, "C-130 rollin.." people just go "Ugh!" lol.

Poolees:

At Ease! In my seven years active and 13 in the Reserves - as an enlisted radio humper, as an officer-aviator, as a an officer ground FAC and BN XO I have yet to run into any Marine that would be psycho enough to put notches in his rifle stock for "kills."

If and when you earn the title, if and when you've actually been in combat, you'll understand.

Until then, lay off the John Wayne movies. Maybe you should watch "Sergeant York" and "To Hell in Back." Although they celebrate the heroics of Army soldiers, they will show you that real heros, and real men who've killed other real men were just ordinary guys who were thrust into a do or die situation - for them and their buddies. They took the only action posssible to save them and their fellow soldiers.

In my career, it has been my honor to know and converse with three Marine Medal of Honor winners. I worked as an enlisted MP for MOH winner GySgt Jimmie Howard in 1968 when he was Provost at MCRD San Diego when I was waiting to ship to my OCS class. I met and talked to the late Colonel Mitchell Paige and General Raymond Davis. These three were some of the dozens of Marine heros of the 20th century - yet they were humble men, both before and after their unselfish acts of heroism. These were true heros - and none of them ever took pride in killing by cutting a notch in the stock of their weapons - they just did what hey had to do.

On of my enlisted boot camp DIs was Sgt. Joe Hess - MCRD San Diego - 1968. He was a Marine sniper in 'Nam. I can guarantee you that he did not cut any notches in the stock of his weapon for his score of kills.

Sir,
I didn't mean the cadence to be a literal statement. I understand what you are saying and I'm sorry that it was taken as such.

Just His Way Of Life (marching)
-------------------------------
IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT
IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT
THERES A U.S. MARINE
AND HE'S LOOKIN FOR A FIGHT

WELL HE FLIES IN AN AIRPLANE
AND HE JUMPS THROUGH THE SKY
HE'S A U.S. MARINE
AND HE KILLS BEFORE HE DIES

IN THE COLD OF KOREA
UNDER SIX FEET OF SNOW
THERES A U.S. MARINE
AND HE'S PUTTIN ON A SHOW

MACHINE GUNS A BLAZING
GRENADES A GOIN BOOM
THERE'S A U.S. MARINE
STEP BACK AND GIVE HIM ROOM

IN THE KUWAITI DESERT
IN THE DEEP HOT SAND
THERE'S A U.S. MARINE
AND HE'S KICKING OVER SOME DEAD

SCUD MISSILES ARE A LAUNCHING
THE PATRIOT WILL REPLY
THERE'S A U.S. MARINE
AND HIS MOTTO'S DO OR DIE

DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME BABY
DON'T YOU SHED ME ANY TEARS
I'M A U.S. MARINE
AND I LIVE WITHOUT NO FEAR

AND I FOUGHT FOR MY COUNTRY
FROM THE CONTINENTAL SOLDIER
TO THE HUNDRED HOUR WAR
DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME BABY
DON'T YOU SHED ME ANY TEARS
DON'T YOU CRY FOR ME BABY
DON'T YOU SHED ME ANY TEARS





A United States Marine (marching)
---------------------------------
You can keep your Army khaki,
You can keep your Navy blue.
I have the world's best fighting man,
To introduce to you.

His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen.
The German's called him "Devil Dog,"
His real name is "Marine"

He was born on Parris Island,
The place where God forgot.
The sand is eighteen inches deep,
The sun is blazing hot.

He gets up every morning,
Before the rising sun.
He'll run a hundred miles and more,
Before the day is done.

He's deadly with a rifle,
A bayonet made of steel.
He took the warrior's calling card,
He's mastered how to kill.

And when he gets to heaven,
St. Peter he will tell,
Another Marine reporting, sir,
I've served my time in Hell.

So listen, all you young girls,
To what I have to say:
Go find yourself a young Marine,
To love you every day.

He'll hug you and he'll kiss you,
And treat you like a queen.
There is no better Fighting Man:
The United States Marine!

way back when recon style
-------------------------
way back when at the dawn of time.
in the valley of death where the sun dont shine.
the roughest toughest fighter ever known was made.
from a M-16 and a Live Grenade.
he was a mean green lean fightin machine.
who proudly bore the title of RECON MARINE





Infantry
--------
I left the sky in the middle of the night
I hit the deck and I'm ready to fight.
Colt .45 and Kabar by my side
These are the tools that make men die.

Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.

Here I lie in this foreign land
Bleeding on this foreign sand.
Ground around me turning red
By the time they find me, I'll be dead.

Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.

In the middle of the night in the drizzle and rain,
I packed my chute and ran to the plane.
Mission top secret mission unknown,
We do not know if we're ever comin' home.
Stand up buckled up shuffled to the door,
Jumped right out the plane and shout MARINE CORPS!
If my chute don't open wide
I've got another one by my side.
If that chute don't open round
I'll be the first one on the ground.

Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause nothing in this life is free.

Tell my mama not to cry
Cause in the Corps it's do or die.
Pin my wings upon my chest
Tell my girl I've done my best.
Place a Kabar in my hand.
I'll fight my way to the promised land.

Orraaahhh!
Blood and Guts
Orraaahhh!
Everywhere
Blood and Guts everywhere
We're lean and mean
We're the US Marines
Orraaahhh!
Semper Fi!
Cause int the Corps we're do or die!
Hail, hail, infantry
Queen of battles, follow me
Marine Corps life is the life for me
Cause I'm Marine Corps infantry!

Mommy's in the kitchen (r), daddy's in jail (r),
sisters on the corner yelling "pussy fo' sale" (r)

Mommy's in the bedroom (r), daddy's on top (r),
baby's in the cradle yelling "give it to her pop" (r)

Who can take a chainsaw, cut a ***** in 2, **** her lower half and give the rest of her to you (wire can or whatever unit)
Who can take 2 ice picks, gouge out her eyes, skull **** the ***** and let the blood run down your thighs
Who can take a grandma, strap her to a chair, **** her in the ass while her grandpa pulls her hair


I wish all the ladies were holes in the road, and I was a dump truck, I'd fill em with my load
I wish all the ladies were shells in the ocean, and I was a sperm whale I'd fill em with my potion
I wish all the ladies were bells in the tower, and I was a ????, I'd bang em every hour
I wish all the ladies were bricks in a pile, and I was a mason, I'd lay em all in style

Napalm Napalm just like glue, bounce off me and stick to you
Killin mamma's and papa's and babies too
You better watch out I'm a commin for you

My favorite is

I love hand to hand........ stick em in the throat with my K-bar baby
I love hand to hand........ kick em in the nuts with my boot toe baby
I love hand to hand........ bash em in the head with my kevlar baby

Little yellow birdie with a little yellow bill
Little yellow birdie landed on my window sill
I lured him in with a piece of bread
Then I crushed that mother****ers head

My girl’s a vegetable
She lives in a hospital
But I would do anything
To keep her alive

She has a green TV
It’s called an EKG
But I would do anything
To keep her alive

She has no arms or legs
That’s why we call her pegs
But I would do anything
To keep her alive

Sometimes I play a joke
Pull the plug and watch her choke
But I would do anything
To keep her alive

Each time she breaths in air
She sounds like Darth Vader
But I would do anything
To keep her alive

She prefers puréed food
Sucks it down with a plastic tube
But I would do anything
To keep her alive

[Pel]

Sarah most of those cadences are what youll be using alot, best be liking most of them... me... I love them... They help me pt. When im by myself I have two of the 5 Marine Corps Cadence CD's, when im in a group were shouting at the top of our lungs and I can shout the cadence and others shout the repetitions because I love cadence

[Caesar Augustus]

I wouldn't advise singing most of those i posted unless you know that it won't offend the weak eared civies next to ya or for that matter a lot of WM's and officers

What's that one that sounds like, "Hey Barbariba, ride on ride on...." Is that what they're saying???

[garryh123]

Where did all the cuss words go? Has cadence become that lame?

[YankeeDoodleAsh]

Oh yeah, the cussing makes it great!!!!
right.

[Caesar Augustus]

Well I guess if ya like ****in sappy cadence you'd have a prob with cussing. Thats the problem we have out here. We get *****ed at for singing cadence that is "degrading" to females or non PC. I say suck it the **** up you're a Marine and well this aint a place to be soft.

[baddie]

sang this in my motto run

dont let the green grass fool ya
dont let it change your mind

just repeat that a million times and youre motivated

[jdh091284]

I thought this one up myself while I was running on the PFT course, about a half mile in to a 3 mile run:

C-130, on the taxiway
Lance Corporal Hartwig ain't flying today,
I sit on my a$$ in the navigation shop
Hope that I am on the next hop.

Okay, it's only funny if you're a me or one of my buddies here in the nav shop.

The thing that really motivated me at boot was when the DI called for delayed cadence, though. That took the exhaustion right out of me.

[decuervo]

Here's one I learned from Gunny Gallagher in A 1/5 (salty old b******, I miss him)

left right left right left right kill
walk into the market
where all the people shop
whip my machete
and I began to chop

left right left right left right kill
stroll into the bank
where people get their cash
pull out my k-bar
and I began to slash

left right left right left right kill
step onto the playground
where all the kiddies play
load up my Uzi
and I began to spray

Not very PC, but not much a crusty Gunny says is.

I think... everyone's sang that one. Some instructors make it seem unique to them, though.

[awb5711]

Another version of that we sang at NBC school.


dont let....the green gas fool you
dont forget...to don and clear

[drillinstructor]

pretty good ones

[FullMetalJacket]

drillinstructor, would you happen to have any cadences, Sir?

[Debate_god21]

He's gonna know plenty of them...

[Arlene Horton]

Sarah: Here's something we sang in Boot Camp in "the old days".

"You can tell a girl in the Marines,
You can tell her by her walk:
You can tell a girl in the Marines, you can tell her by her talk;
You can tell her by her attitude, and her interest and such;
You can tell a girl in the Marines, BUT YOU CAN NOT TELL HER MUCH!

This is probably easier on those tender ears of young, female boots. Semper Fi

[yellowwing]

Cadence was great. But, when the platoon was not performing with dedication and motivation, "Oh, so you ladies don't want to motivate me, fine...Left Foot...Left Foot...Left Foot...Left Foot...Left Foot...

Which gave our brains plenty of room to think about how much our feet and legs hurt, and how little air our lungs were passing on to the rest of our system. :(

[Poolee08/09]

recent one from PI :
The prettiest girl
the prettiest girl
I ever saw
i ever saw
Was sippin bouron
was sippin bourbon
Through a straw
through a straw
I walked right up
i walked right up
and sat rght down

and bought that girl
and bought that girl
another round
another round
i took her home
i took her home
and laid her down
her long blonde hair

[LivinSoFree]

Alright... this one's a killer if you're the one on the leading end... but it's long and motivating, good for them company PT runs, esp. in populated areas.... a little education by osmosis, no?

After each line, the unit responds simply "Marine Corps!" The first verse is also a chorus of sorts... If you wanna keep a more solid rhythm, this one is a good one to do with a good "clap on the left foot."

(CHORUS)

Well, what about this one:

C-130 rollin' down the strip
Blew a tire and the mother-father flipped
Well that airplane ain't flyin' today
Air Force pilot went UA
Mission top-secret destination unknown
So his sorry azz just stayed at home

Four! I smoked a lot of grass

One! Kill

Three! Kill
Four! Kill

1 2 3 4, United States Marine Corps!

hoo-rah!

[HardJedi]

ummmm. ok. not sure about the smoking grass part though. what kinda thing is that to portray to young poolees and such?

[chezzplayr05]

ummmmmm. well. ok. thats the kinda **** we sang in the fleet not too long ago, so I'm just portraying the truth and such. I could name a whole lot more disgusting cadences, too. But I won't. OK? If your so ****in concerned about poolees why don't you tell them the truth about YOUR Marine Corps experience?

[HardJedi]

I have. Many MANY times. I ALWAYS tell the poolees the truth, AS IT HAPPENED TO ME, at any rate.
and I know some far more disgusting things that WE sang in the fleet as well, but never anything about drugs.

no need to get your panties in a bunch, Marine. ;)


I wasn't trying to offend or anything, so, sorry if I did.

[JAMarine]

I'm perceiving a Chip on your shoulders Marine.

Sup with all that?

Just my opinion.

[enviro]

Never smoked grass in all my years.

1. Your dates of service tell me you never went to Vietnam.
2. Obviously you never killed any Viet Cong (see #1 above)
3. Kicked alot of ass? Where? Who?
4. Smoked alot of grass? Are you proud that you dishonored yourself and the Corps?

I've sang some "middle of nowhere" disgusting ditties before, but nothing to encourage any Marine do drugs. Especially since it's a ZERO TOLERANCE policy now.

[chezzplayr05]

HardJedi,

I apologize for directing my anger towards you. I know nobodies perfect so I should'nt vent about the negative aspects of our Corps. I should just overlook them. Especially for the poolees sake.

PS. Who ordered the Code Red?

[HardJedi]

No prob, Chezz. it happens on here, from time to time.

just think of this site as somewhat like the real Corps at times. The longer ya been on the site, the more slack and understanding you are cut. ( generally anyway) though I do get my butt chewed from time to time for spouting some crazy stuff. :D

I heard the same cadance on my "Run to Cadence with the U.S. Marines Volume 3", except it says the opposite:

One! Went to viet Nam
Two! Killed the Viet Cong
Three! Never smoked no grass !
Four! Kicked a lot of ass

One! Kill
Two! Kill
Three! Kill
Four! Kill

1 2 3 4, United States Marine Corps! Ooorah...! Ooorah !

[lprkn]

One! Went to viet Nam
Two! Fought the Viet Cong
Three! Shot him in his head
Four! Now he's friggin' dead

P.S. Now don't give me any crap about not being in Viet Nam. You know very well that I wasn't even born yet!

[lprkn]

Back around in '52
The Commie North Koreans were after you
Down at the 38th parallel
The South Koreans were catchin' hell
They picked up the phone, began to dial
The President answered in a little while
He said, "Who you want to clean this mess?"
They said, "Mr. President the very best."
Well the Marines answered the call
In 24 hours we were on the ball
The weather was cold, the snow was deep
We spread blood across the streets

There's a couple more lines, but that's all I remember.

P.S. Sorry everybody, didn't make it to Korea either.

[Future-USMC-LT]

I don't know, but I've been told
The Marine Corps is mighty bold
The Army doesn't know what we can do
We are proud of our history too
Out looks and style are very smooth

Look to your left and what do you see
A bunch of Army just a lookin' at me
So shout it out and sing it loud
I'm a Marine (or Jarhead) and I'm mighty proud

--QUESTION--


Went to lunch with a buddy PFC Snyder and he told me a cadence and its bugging me, that its in my head and i dont remember the words,

something about throwing candy in a courtyard, "and grabbing his M-4 Carbine and mowin the lil F'kers down"


cant member, any help much appricatied

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Ok, people are always telling poolees to do a search before they ask a question. I understand that poolees aren't always going to do the work for an answer they need, and that doesn't bother me like it does some people. But p8ntballsnipr1, I am copying and pasting this from a post I made on this thread years ago. Its on page 1 of this thread.


Burn the town and kill the people
Throw some napalm in the square
Do it on a Sunday morning
While the people are at prayer
Throw some candy in the school yard
Watch the kiddies gather 'round
Slap a mag in your M-16
And mow those little f#*$&#s down

Just change M-16 to M-4 if you want it to match exactly.

[KMichael]

runnin through the jungle with my M-16
im a bad a$$ mother f*&%er im a US Marine!

ah... the wonderful sound of my boyfrined's ringback tone... :bunny:

here's some more for y'all

You can keep your Army Khaki.
You can keep your Navy Blue.
I have the worlds best fighting man,
to introduce to you.

His uniform is different,
The best you've ever seen.
The Germans call him Devil Dog,
His real name is Marine.
He was born on Parris Island,
The place where God forgot.
The sand is 18 inches deep,
The sun is blazing hot.
And everyday he'll wake up,
Before the rising sun.
He'll run a hundred miles or more,
Before the day is done.
He's deadly with a rifle,
A bayonet made of steel.
He's took the Devils calling card,
He's mastered how to kill.
And when he gets to heaven,
St. Peter he will tell.
One more Marine reporting Sir,
I've served my time in hell.
So listen all you young girls,
To what I have to say.
Go out and find a young marine,
To love you everyday. He'll hug you and he'll kiss you,
And treat you like a queen.
There is no better fighting man,
Than a UNITED STATES MARINE!!!

My Mama can't you see?
What this Corps has done to me

Put me in a barber chair
Snip snap and I had no hair
And if I die in the combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
Put me in a set of dress blues
Comb my hair and shine my shoes
Pin my medals upon my chest
Tell my Mama I did my best My Mama don't you cry
Marine Corps motto is "Do or Die!"

Mission Top Secret, destination unknown,
We don't know if we're ever coming home.

Stand up buckle up and shuffle to the door,
Jump right out and shout "Marine Corps!"
If my shoot don't open wide,
I've got a reserve by my side.
If that one should fail me too,
Look out ground I'm coming through.
Hookin and a jabbin,
Slashin and a stabbin.
If I die in a combat zone,
Box me up and ship me home. Pin my medals upon my chest.
Tell my momma I've done my best.


Down in the ocean,
down in the grimy sea,

There’s a Great White Shark,
he's a lookin at me.
He said 'Hey there Marine,
I'm the King of the Sea.'
'And if you want to get by,
you gotta get through me.'
The point man laughed,
as he drew his knife. He said 'Hey there Sharky,
you must be tired of life.'

Hey there Army,
Dirt bagging Army.
Get in your tanks and follow me,
We are Marine Corps Infantry.

Hey there Air Force,
Low flying Air Force.
Get in your planes and cover me,
We are Marine Corps Infantry.
Hey there Navy,
Swabbing decks Navy,
Get in your ships and supply me.
We are Marine Corps Infantry.
Hey there Coast Guard,
Puddle Pirate Coast Guard,
Get in your boats and drive me.
We are Marine Corps Infantry. Hey MARINE CORPS,
Semper Fi, Marine Corps.
Pick up your packs and follow me.
We are all Marine Corps Infantry.

Dad don't worry, Mom don't cry,
Some brave young men are bound to die.

You knew this day would finally come,
The day that I received my gun.
The last thing that I want to say,
Is why I had to die today.
To save our country from the pain,
Of terrorists like Saddam Hussein.
I started off a boy so young,
And look at what I have become. A soldier...no not just a soldier a MARINE!!!
Orraahh!!

I don't know, but I've been told,
The Army thinks it's mighty bold.

They don't know what the Corps can do
We are proud of our history too.
Our looks and style are very smooth
But you ought to see the "Dress Blues" Shout it out and sing it loud,
I'm a U.S. Marine and I am GOD Damn proud

Here at Parris, running till I'm wet.
No one's ever drown in sweat!
Running faster, Running long,
getting tougher, getting strong!

Marine Corps...PT!
Running!
OORAH!
1 mile 2 mile 3 mile 4!
Tell my mom I'm ready for war!
Here at Parris, they can be mean.
But I can take it, I'm a MARINE! Marine Corps...PT
Running!
OOORAH!

I find a great website on a lot of cadences you all might enjoy. I think you could even download them but i'm not sure. Have Fun!


http://wjserra.com/listenup.htm

[Rock_The_MC]

I know this isn't a cadence buuuuuut...

While we were doing pull ups at our Poolee Function, our recruiters had this CD playing with cadences and stuff..

There was one that just got stuck in my head, It was extremely catchy.

"Don't let.. Recruit Training fool ya.."

That's all I remember.

It was awesome though. Do any of you know which one i'm talking about?

Yeah, I'm very specific huh. Ha.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

I would assume that is the cadence we normally sang as Don't let the green grass fool ya. It is a more difficult one to type, as the platoon doesn't simply repeat what is said, but has their own words to say.

[Cazidy]

Tarzan and Jane were swingin' from a vine,
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine.
Jane missed the vine and down she fell,
When she hit the ground she let out a yell,
Ai-e-ai
mmm mmm
feels good
Ai-e-ai
mmm mmm
real good
Tarzan and Cheetah were swingin' from a vine,
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine.
Cheetah missed the vine and then he fell,
when he hit the ground he gave a little yell,
Ai-e-ai
mmm mmm
feels good
Ai-e-ai
mmm mmm
real good

I know the C-130 cadence has been worn to death, but I figured I'd post the recon version for those who are interested in another variation;

Stand up, buckle up, shuffle to the door,
Jump on out and yell “Marine Corps!”<o =""></o>

Note: Part in italics is what the platoon says. This is a marching cadence and is probably one of my personal favorites even though I have NEVER heard another drill instructor do this one justice, (besides then Sr DI SSgt Earl!-3048-1981) I'm sure I just haven't been in the right place since, to hear it done well again!!

I'm sure there is a better way to represent some of these "sounds" but one of my old DI's had a REALLY COOL way of counting off a Delayed Cadence Count hence the reason that I spelled it Delayed "Cadce Call" as he seemed to take the "en" sound out of the word and only finished with the "c" sound at the end so it could almost have been spelled "Caids" Call "Caids" Count.

That sound is almost the "uh" sound except that it has the unique DI chop applied to it, making it more or less a run-on to the following word, hence the reason for the hyphen.

[SRT Sniper]

Ok, since BavariaDE posted such a great link to some recorded cadences, I'll start posting the lyrics so you can all learn them. Realize that some sounds are hard to express in written form, but...

Notes: Text in italic is the unit response - really only added since the last rhythm phrase is only called by the DI, "a-" or "A-" represents the DI chopped "uh" sound, "Ah-" is just a little more pronounced.

[BFDslayer]

ok, just a quick question, how many different Cadences are there? i know of...uhh...one... it starts off "everywhere we go, people wanna know, who we are, so we tell them, the united states Marine Corps." is how is starts, after that all i can remember is"they put me on that silver jet, they put me on that battle field, they gave me a rifle and taught me to kill" its the one i hear most often while running, while you are running it helps you concentrate, and..its catchy. but when i actually get to Parris Island, do they have specific ones for each Platoon? and..which one is your favorite one?

[Ignition]

your drill instructors will have plenty of cadences

[cplbrooks]

there are hundreds. I know of about 40 that i use. If you look on the internet you can actually buy CD's of them.

I just found this one, Marines love sick twisted humor, haha:


Late one night, dark and dreary
I went right down to the cemetary
It don't matter, old or new
Just as long as she's cold and blue

I'm a necropheliac
Roll a dead beyotch in the sack
I'm a necrophiliac
Roll a dead beyotch in the sack

Grabbed my shovel and dug all night
Just about dawn I found my fright
She had long white hair and long azz nails
With a p*ssy so rotten it was covered in snails

I'm a necropheliac
Roll a dead beyotch in the sack
I'm a necrophiliac
Roll a dead beyotch in the sack

And mow those mother f*****s down

We hit the deck and we're ready to fight

We hit the serface and were ready to go
We gonna back stroke' side stroke swim for the shore
We gonna hit the beach and we're ready for war.

He wore it in the spring time in the merry month of May
And If you asked him why the hell he wore it,
He wore it for a sailor who was far, far, away
He was gay, he was gay
He wore it for a sailor who was far, far away

Around the block he drove a pink Volkswagon,
He drove it in the spring time in the merry month of May
And if you asked him why the hell he drove it,
He drove it for that sailor who was far, far away
He was gay, he was gay
He drove it for that sailor who was far, far away

In his room, he kept a big cucumber
He had it in the spring time in the merry month of May
And if you asked him why the hell he had it,
He had it for that sailor who was far, far away
He was gay, he was gay
He kept it for that sailor who was far, far away

Yesterday while we were running the Army recruiters had their recruits PTing...for once and when we ran by them we yell that as loud as we all could! Then the Army tried to the same to us but none of their recruits had the same MOTO that we all did haha!!:marine: ...So again what is your favorits cadences when you PT with your recruiters?

[CantWaitToSign]

Another favorite of mine that I just remembered is the delayed cadence

Delayed Cadence
Marine Corps Cadence (recuiter)
Readyyyy

One! (recruits)
Cant Hear you (recruiter)
Two! (recruits)
Getting louder now (recruiter)
Three! (recruits)
Dedicated! (recruiter)
Four! (recruits)
Motivated! (recruiter)

One! (recruits)
HA! (recruiter)
Two! (recruits)

Four! (recruits)
OHHHHHH!!! (recruiter)

ONE!
TWO!

FOUR!
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS!!!! (everyone)

...that one PUMPS me up! I could run all day chanting that one!

[bigdog43701]

c130 rolling down the strip,
RECON daddy is going on a trip.
Mission not spoken,
destination unknow.
RECON daddy ain't going to make it home.

Stnd up, hook up shuffle to the door,
jump on out and yell MARINE CORPS.

If that main don't open wide,
you've got a reserve by your side.

If that one should fail you too,
look out satan cause i'm comin after you.

Hit the ground in the middle of the night,
spring right up into a firefight.

Greasegun K-Bar by my side,
these are the tools that make men die.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Somewhere we have a thread that is several pages long that Lake started back when he was a poolee. There are tons of canences there.

Yeah well this the new and improved thread! haha

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Yeah, it may be. But the other one is 3 1/2 years old and was last updated this month. There is a ton of stuff there, and if someone is just wanting to see candences it is the place to look.

[MotivatorOfTheGuard]

Uh no...If you'll notice his avatar informs you that he is a Cpl, there for, you shall treat him as such.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Nah I like my thread


Wow, you have some real problems. I am being as nice as possible. But how about I say it like this. The thread is already on the forum, we don't need it again, and I sure as hell don't need an attitude from a wannabe.

[Achped]

Nah I like my thread

Well have fun in it, because with an attitude like that no one else will read it.

[bigdog43701]

cantwait...IF you want to make it to Marine Corps recruit training PUP you better become familiar with Marine Corps rank structur. i DO NOT want to ever see or hear of you being disrespectful to a Marine Corps NCO in the future. we are trained to train you pups into doin things the right way. when i get on here next i had better see that you have apoligized to the Corporal.

IS THAT UNDERSTOOD!

CARRY ON!

[HLeyb]

I think you'd do great in Basic Training with that kind of attitude CantWait, Recruit Training on the other hand.. hmm, maybe you could MOTO up those Army recruits.

With all due respect.

[Soon2BeVIP]

I just love when people act like that on this website and they don't realize they also put their recruiters phone number in their profiles. Durka durka...

wow blowing that wayyy out of proportion haha didnt think I was showing "disrespect" I could see if I was like "nah I like my thread so go fck yourself" or something but I didnt lol this isn't just so I can see cadences it so I can see what cadences POOLEEs know but yeah sorry corporal...I love all Marines I'd never treat them with disrespect hehe except my bro but thats understandable

[semperfi170]

CantWaitToSign: Poolee read the site rules and comply! Your grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure are atrocious!! Additionally, whether or not you meant it, your reply to the Corporal was disrespectful!!!!!:mad:
Besides being your older brother he is also a Staff Sergeant in the Corps and deserves your respect. As one who served as a Drill Instructor, I hope he does everything in his power to make your life miserable in boot camp! I've seen it happen, and he doesn't even have to be physically present!

Get your head out of your a**! Show the proper respect due to the Marines who try to guide you.

HAHA no man I meant my real brother. Like blood brother hes a Corporal in the Marines but since hes my bro first hand we will always have that joking disrepect for each other.

Oh yeah, everyone that reads this forum go to my new one. It's a big apology for my actions earlier today.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

Dave, that's one of my favorites.

Can'tWait, the thread I linked you to is in the poolee section. That was put up for poolees to share their cadences in, and we shared some of the ones we liked. You are still acting disrespectful, and you are proving you need to think before you type. You might be amazed who reads this forum and what that can mean to you later.

[semperfi170]

So who is the SSGT Bill Mullis, you list as your favorite Marine? Since your brother is a CPL, the same rules still apply. What you do in the privacy of your home is your business, but not outside of there. I really believe you need to get your mouth under control no matter what your mood is! Your moods don't mean squat to a DI, Troop Handler, NCO, SNCO, or Officer when you mouth off. Mouth off at the wrong time and you will find out the results for you are not pleasant!

[CantWaitToSign]

Yeah I know I honestly didnt think "nah I like my thread" would **** someone off apparently it did, and SSGT. Bill Mullis is my dad Force Recon

[semperfi170]

It seems like you have a lot to live up to with a Dad that was Recon and a brother now on active duty! Just learn to engage the brain before opening mouth and you will do fine! :marine:

[CantWaitToSign]

Aye sir! "Echo Bravo Four" just helped me out greatly in that department. I only need to live up to my dad. My bro on the other hand as sad as it is to say this doesn't love the Corps like me and my dad do.

[bigdog43701]

cantwait..i am glad to see the apoligy(sp). for future reference is an NCO, SNCO or Officer "suggests" that you do something, consider it an order from God himself. get that attitude and you'll make a damn good Marine. Listen to your dad. as a former FORCE RECON Marine he knows his $hit. if that is what you are shooting for he can help you prepare now.

by the way, tell your dad SEMPER FI, from another former RECON and FORCE RECON Marine.

[CantWaitToSign]

Will do Bigdog. But my dad told me if I were to try and go Recon to never tell him, because he knows what kind of crazy **** they do and doesnt want to know that I'm doing it haha. If the confidence course in bootcamp really cures my fear of heights then I'm definitely going to try for it.

Never ending flood I guess. What did you shoot on the rifle range, weapon and score? What was the name of your senior drill instructor. How many recruites from your platoon graduated? What is your MOS? A platoon with a 2 in front of it means you were in what recruit battalion? Occasionally there are little balls of fluff found underneath the racks during clean-up; what are they called and what does the drill instructors call the guys that clean them up?

Put me in a barber's chair
Snip, Snap and I had no hair
And if I die in a combat zone
Box me up and ship me home
Put my in a set dress blues
Comb my hair and shine my shoes
Pin my medals upon my chest
Tell my Mama I did my best
My Mama don't you cry
Marine Corps motto is 'Do or Die'

And well even teach you how to shoot a gun.
Theres room and board and a plate of food,
And a brand new tailored business suit.
I used to drive a Bonneville,
Now all I do is run up a hill.
I used to drive a Chevrolet,
Now all I do is sleep in the hay.
I used to drive a Cadillac,
Now all I do is hump a pack.

"the army is a marching corps" (marching's what they do for war)
"the navy is a sailing corps" (sailings what they do for war)
"the airforce is a flying corps" (flying's what they do for war)
"THE MARINE CORPS IS A FIGHTING CORPS!!" (THEN WHAT THE HELL WE RUNNIN FOR?!!)

Any of you poolees have recruiters that call cadence during PT? If you do try and remember some and post 'em up because my SSgt is having trouble remembering some.

c'mon he can't remember any cadences? SSgt? I sing two or three every morning in the shower, or before while I'm delivering the kids to the pool.

Here give him this one:

Back in 1775
My Marine Corps came alive
First there came the color blue,
to show the world that we are true
Next there came the color red,
to show the world the blood we shed
Finally there came the color green,
to show the world that we are mean

Oooh rah

[PooleeAdams 1]

Well he said that one before, except he had (after the red line) something about the color black 'to show the world we love to attack'. Then he forgot the green line.
But you gotta give him a little slack, he was in the airwing. lol

ha ha ha, good one.

[PooleeAdams 1]

I wouldn't pick on him for it in front of him but I know alot of Marines do seem to pick on Airwing more. Hence the reason I'm trying for MP. Just have to get my DL. Airwing is my secondary (just in case), cause I got a 78 on my AFQT.

[JCam0331]

I payed the price when I said something similiar to my RSS NCOIC>

Gunny: Alright guys, I can't teach you drill and I don't know many cadences. Anyone know why?
Me: Because you were in the Airwing and not the Marine Corps.

Sure enough, I was pushin for my life. I didn't wanna see Gunny ever again, but in the end, I won't say anything smart near him ever again.

Thanks For the the Message , USMC 90,i got now

[crazymjb]

Pick up a few cadence CDs, I know we have a few in the basement/gym of our RSS. My recruiter also knows quite a few ;).

Almost every fresh Marine who has come back to PT us has told us how much he hates them and thinks they are a waste of air.

Heres a link to a bunch:

I love cadence it takes your mind off your legs when your running and builds you lungs up.

If all the ladies were holes in the road..............I love the funny ass Full Metal Jacket ones.

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

The "if all the ladies" cadence is better when route stepping than double timing. It needs to be a little slower.

lil bit of advice...if you do go MP...it would be very smart of you to NOT mention anythign to your DI's that your MOS is MP...lol...on second thought....go right ahead and make sure they do know...lol....you'll have lots of fun just because of your MOS in boot......:marine:

Heres a few to give to your Ssgt especially the first one...lol <br />

Sorry PFC but not even I'm that dumb. I know MP's are despised by nearly all Marines.

Oh yeah, there's this one SSgt said when we were running, I can't remember it all though. But it started with
"I can get to Iraq in just one day,
All the way to Iraq in just one day"
Any one remember the rest?

[JCam0331]

On iTunes they have the Run to Cadence with the US Marines albums for 9.99

I own one of the Run to Cadence with the US Marines and I also have the Run to Cadence with the Airborne Rangers lol its pretty sweet.

[SgtHopperUSMC]

I remember a few chants we used to sing in the late 80's. I gotta nickle you gotta dime, Chairbourne Ranger, and such. Some were banned and was just wondering if they are still out there. Napalm sticks to kids, blood makes the grass grow. What sick chants are still around?

[PatriotGirl422]

All the one's you've mentioned are one's I've heard, Sgt. So, I guess they're still around! Other ones I can think of are: I Used to Sit at Home All Day, If I Die Bury Me Deep, Up From the Sub 60 Feet Below, Bo Diddley, Double Time, Jody Boy, Navy, Navy I'm in Doubt, Give Me that Old Marine Corps Spirit, Tarzan and Jane, Everywhere We Go, Fired Up, and of course my favorite, C-130 Rolling Down the Strip.

[Wyoming]

OK, help me, can't you do the chants?

[DUFFER]

OK, help me, can't you do the chants?

"What's that runnin down your leg? ( juice, juice)"

"What's the sound of a 96? (swoop swoop)"

"Runnin through the jungle with my M-16, I'm a mean mother f*cker, I'm a U.S. MARINE!"

"I woke up one morning and looked up on the wall... the roaches and the bed bugs were playing basket ball, the score was 6 to nothing the roaches were ahead, I got so damn excited I jumped right outta bed, singin lo righta left, lefty righta left..."

How is that Big Al??:banana:

[jrhd97]

Mamma and daddy were lying in bed..
momma rolled over and this is what she said..
Give me some...

There was the one about Marine ding doo, can't remember the whole thing.

... turn up the volume.. just like a radio... (dang, forgot all the words to that one to.)

I don't know what I've been told, but eskimo p@ssy is mighty cold.....

[SgtHopperUSMC]

OK, help me, can't you do the chants?Looks like they are alive and well!! That was what I wanted to know. We had a Commanding officer at Engineer School who wouldnt let us sing some of them.

[Phantom Blooper]

On Camp Lejeune a few years back they stopped any running chants going through the base housing areas especially the officer housing. There were too many complaints to MCB CG, with the vulgarity and it was too much to handle when a husband was on a pump.

They might have curtailed running through the housing area as a unit....but I passed a formation on main side last week and the Marine Corps is still alive and well!

are you a Herk Girl??

fix bayonets! stab em' in the neck!:evilgrin:

[PatriotGirl422]

are you a Herk Girl??

I don't know what that means. Is that bad?

[semperfi170]

Hey PatriotGirl, he probably is referring to the name for the C-130 'Hercules', but than again who knows. After all Herks do fly together.:banana:

[CarryingMarine]

Im still trying to figure out if that was a dump on me or the 130 or both, or if you me we take care of each other.

[davblay]

Anyone remember the "YELLOW BIRD"?

A YELLOW BIRD
WITH A YELLOW BILL
WAS PIRCHED UPON
MY WINDOW SILL

I LURED HIM IN

AND THEN I SMASHED
HIS FVCKING HEAD

HIS (STOMP LEFT FOOT) FVCCCCKING HEAD

I CALLED THE DOC
THE DOCTOR SAID
HE SAID INDEED
THE BIRD IS DEAD

HE SAID INDEED
THE (STOMP THE LEFT FOOT) BIRRRRD IS DEAD

Yeah, those are some GOOD memories and good cadences!!! Motivating!!!

[David La Pierre]

Here are a few I have found just searching on the internet, I'd like to see what Marines think of them though, and maybe hear a few you have to add.
Got lots of Recon references in there, I want to go into 0321 but need to work on my PFT :evilgrin:

Thanks,

Back in 1775
My Marine Corps came alive
First there came the color gold
To show the world that we are bold
Then there came the color red
To show the world the blood we shed
Then there came the color green
To show the world that we are mean
Then there came the color blue
To show the world that we are true
Oh yeah
Marine Corps
Your corps
My corps


I used to sit at home all day,
Letting my life a waste away.
Then one day a man in blue,
Said son I got a job for you,
Theres travel and adventure and loads of fun,
And well even teach you how to shoot a gun.

Left, Left, Left Right Left
Lo Right a Leaft
Left Right Left
Lefty Right Left
Left Right Leaft.
Lefty Righty Lo

Here We Go
On the Run
One mile,
Ain't ****.
Two miles,
No way.
Three miles,
Feels good
Four miles,
Real good


Born on a mountain top raised by a bear,
Got two sets of teeth and a full coat of hair.
See us coming better run better hide,
Cause well hunt you down and eat you alive.
Slit your throat and wipe it clean,
We're mean mother ****ers we're US Marines.
Well spit on your graves and laugh out loud,
Wear medals on our chest and feel damn proud.
Fighting and killing thats our job,
So we earned the name Devil Dogs


Way way back in the dawn of time
In the Valley of Death where the sun don't shine
A mighty fighting man was made
From an M-16 and a live grenade
He looked mighty big with his ALICE pack
He drove mighty mean with his Cadillac
This mighty fighting lean green machine
Goes by the title of a Recon Marine
Roll on your left
And roll your right
Roll on your left
We love to double time!


C130 rolling down the strip
Recon daddy gonna take a little trip
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and shout MARINE CORPS!

If my chute don't open wide
I've got another one by my side
If that one should fail me too
Look out ground, I'm coming after you


I don't know but I've been told
Recon Marines are mighty bold
You see us coming, better step aside
The last ones didn't and the last ones died


I've got a story that's never been told
About a recon Marine that was brave and bold
He jumped from the sky in the middle of the night
When he hit the ground he was ready to fight
Hookin' and a jabbin'
Stickin' and a stabbin'
Killin him some commies

Grease gun and Kabar by his side
These are the tools that make men die
Hookin' and a jabbin'
Stickin' and a stabbin'
Killin him some commies

Paint my face black and green,
You wont see me I'm a Recon Marine
I slipped and slithered in through the night
You wont see me till I'm ready to fight.
You'll run in the bushes you'll try to hide,
That's why you are sure to die.
You wont see me till it's too late,
A flash of my blade will be your fate.
Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah


Tell my mama not to cry
In the Marine Corps you will do or die.
Pin my wings upon my chest
Tell my girl I've done my best.
Place a Kabar in my hand.
I'll fight my way to the promised land.
Orraaahhh!
Blood and Guts
Everywhere
Thats us
Thats us
Lean and mean
U.S. Marine
Orraaahhh!
Orraaahhh!

[PatriotGirl422]

I know that if you do a search there are lots and lots of threads posted about cadences. I know this, because I think I've responded in all of them! However, I'd like to add that me and two other Marines together each bought a volume of the Marine Corps Running Cadence CDs (there's volumes 1-3) and combined those have pretty much every cadence you can think of. I know they sell them at the museum in Quantico, but I'm sure you can get them online too.

[David La Pierre]

Ahh, my bad, I did another search and this time looked for the word 'cadence' only in the title.

[ExPISCDI83]

OK, I have a question for all the young pups (no disrespect intended, just humor) that have a bigger clue than I do about all this MP3 stuff. Where can I get some decent running cadences to download from the net so I can put them on my brand spanking new MP3 player so I can listen to them as I run or just want to get motivated?

I admit that I came from the pen and paper Marine Corps (e.g. an old guy) and although I have some skill with computers etc. this MP3 & iPod stuff has me scratching my head.

So... if anyone has any suggestions, I would be most grateful. Or... if you have any you can send and I download it, would again be appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

[SlingerDun]

Don't holler out cadence unless theres at least two people running. You'll appear disturbed and scare the public. Humping in the hills well thats different it keeps the bears and cougars off your 6

[Quinbo]

I wish all the ladies were bricks in a pile
And I was a mason .... I lay em all in style
Singing Hey barbera reba hey hey barbera reba ... hey barberrah

I wish all the ladies were pies on the shelf and I was a baker
I'd eat em all myself
Singing .... ect ect et al.

[Cadet CPL Cain]

I'm not a marine but i am a marine cadet. I am currently in a USMC JROTC at my highschool.

We use a lot of chants when we run.
does anyone remeber this one?
He-e-y there army
where are you goin'?
get in your tanks and follow me.
I am Marine Corps infantry

he-e-y there Navy,
where are you goin',
Get in your ships and follow me.
I am marine corps infantry?

[Cadet CPL Cain]

there is also this one that we use:
I could run to baghdad like this,
all the way to baghdad like this,
When I get to baghdad they're gonna say,
"How you get to baghdad in just one day?"

And i reply with a whole lot of anger,
"Blood and guts and a little bit of danger.

[Jonny Destroyer]

I always had to giggle when we'd run past a bunch of non-03's, like Bulk Fuel, singing caidence about being a grunt...hahahhahaha :evilgrin:

[Cadet CPL Cain]

yeah, im about to take atrip to Parris Island with my high school and stay for a week in one of the squad bays. I'm not sure what to expect. any suggestions?
