Drillinstructor...Do you use the word OORAH as part of your program. There has been a lot of talk lately about the orgin of this. I still think it was started by Recon Marines during the late 70s.

I am currently ending my 2nd cycle (yes I came here a little late in the game) but I am loving it. Oh by the way Bricks are still for sale for 100 bucks...I just put an order in for my brick... 2nd Bn s-3 I may or may not know him>>>>?

So singing cadence is legal now. Nice to know. I once got chewed out for doing that while drilling a platoon. --- I don't think the cadence songs I heard in boot camp would be appropriate, so I'd just like to add this.
Cadence songs can be about anything. They can apply to the phase of training the recruit is in, MC history, etc., as long as the meter or cadence is kept. You can just start with an idea, like...

"Phase One is an awful grind;
DI messin' with my mind."

There goes...
"My Girl's A Vegetable"
" Me and Superman Got in A Fight"
" the Prettiest Girl"
The song about inches 1-12
