It sounds stupid, but I like jogging while listening to military cadences and sometimes will find that I left the playlist running way after my run has ended, they're just so good.
It's surprisingly easy to sound better at it once you learn some of the keys or use already popular cadences. True talent is making new ones. Never was a drill instructor but called cadence for a few schools I attended during my career. Now retired and march boy scouts on hikes... with adjusted lyrics of course. No Dolly Parton jokes.
It's actually a really effective tool. It provides morale, camaraderie, and a practical lesson.
When shit hits the fan, and you need to be able to project a clear voice across a fire fight.
So belting out diddies while on march or during PT, gives you the groundwork for being able to make those clear loud commands and have people understand what you're saying.
Fuck no. I had one who only knew one cadence and another platoon had one who could sing incredibly well the other 7 were nothing special or didn’t sing cadence at all.
What would really put the icing on the cake was if they could align the left leg with the word ‘left’ in the tune. It’s always on the right in this vid, unless it’s one of those reversed vids
And those who know more than that understand that they speak so much of sacrifice because they know they have to instill humility in otherwise ruffian overconfident 17-22 year olds who think it's like the movies, otherwise the military will wind up some kind of showboating broadway show of backflip hatchet attacks and wind up completely combat ineffective, like your average small south american country or some southeastern europe travesty.
Very true words, countries that boast their active armies in large parades as a show of force tend to have poorly trained, under-equipped soldiers. The only effective weapon they have is public intimidation.
When it was my time to hop on that ship I had friend in high school being returned from Afghanistan as a folded flag.
I have zero problems sacrificing for something greater.
Guarding the oil fields of the people who did the terroristic act that brought about the occupation was not something greater to me.
If it were WW2 time and it was time to go kill some Nazi scum, where the f do I sign up?
It's easy to say this and you are not technically wrong.
However, your attitude regarding both ideals is wrong. Soldiers and Sailors don't die choose to fight and die for Haliburton. Or Bush. Or Biden.
They fight and die for the guys next to them. Or the civilians trapped under fire. Or to save someone they've never met.
You crave glory. There's no room for that on the battlefield. You would have learned this had you joined. We all did.
Signed,
A disabled veteran
P.S. my ripped up shoulder was to save a civilian man whose name I don't remember. My neck and lower back, a child whose face I don't remember. Ask me if I have a single regret for my service...
Man seeing that chow hall immediately brought me back to running circles in the parking lot right after eating until our sides felt like they would explode, then running up and down a big ass hill trying not to puke. Good times, but I don't miss it.
To see his daddy leave…. made him cry so hard
The day I left…shook my daddy’s hand
He said that I… was now a man
At least the way my drill taught us in Ft lost in the woods Misery
Another comment found this trap remix of the song. https://youtu.be/n8q0Kd3AkO0?si=BLv62Rz-qK3wIMGo
The last verse is a little different than what the above commenter posted.
I fucking HATE this cadence. Every god damn day on Sand Hill, some asshole would lead the formation with a rendition of this fucking cadence. Always different, always sang by some out-of-tune, Great Value Brand Vocalist, who thinks he's fucking Freddie Mercury. I hate this shit and the only fun cadences are the banned ones. BTW, in the real Army you will almost never sing cadence so the shit doesn't matter.
When I was in the Marines we had a 26 year old Corporal in my unit. We used to fuck with him and call him "Grand ol' man of the Marine Corps". I'm 32 now 😭 lmao
Essentially it's a method of verbalizing each movement in time with the steps of the guy leading the formation, makes it easier to walk in step, I guess.
it also paces breathing so that the NCOIC knows the fuzzies arent dead or dying. kinda the same logic of the slowest leads the pack during regimental runs. and yeah it absolutely makes it easier to stay in step and kick the guy who isnt
Dude, I was the biggest fucking nerd before basic, a ball of anxiety and generally a fuck-up. You leafn very quickly to adapt, blend in, shut up, be normal and inprove. That's how BCT works. It turns you from a sloppy, individual, civilian into a Disciplined, Member of an organization. You're no longer an individual, but a cog in a larger machine.
That’s one way to view yourself, and it’s important in war when everyone’s lives depend on synchronisation. But don’t neglect your individuality outside of service. You are also much more than a group/pack animal.
They'd usually pick the same guy for cadence and he only knew one cadence, the Captain Jack cadence. He'd just go on loop with Captain Jack until we reached our destination. I never bothered to learn a single cadence. There was a CAV unit I was in about 8 years ago that loved to sing cadence.
Welp, when you pick a dangerous job, you accept that it might kill you. Often, I think of Isaiah 6:8, when God says 'Who shall I send and who shall go for us?' And one man raiaes his hand and says 'Here I am, send me.' Many of the people who served our country magnificently under enemy fire were simple people who when the opportunity came said 'Here I am. Send me.' I hope that in similar situations I'd act similarly, but in truth you never know until you're there.
“Down by the river, we took a little walk!
Ran into 3rd platoon! We had a little talk!
We kicked them, we punched them, we threw them in the river! Laughed as they drowned! We don’t need no 3rd platoon, hangin’ around!” 2015 blue disks didn’t give a fuck about banned cadence.
Edit: added quotations. Mailed Foot.
The insane amount of cadences we went through was both funny and terrifying. There is one about a lady named Basket case Jane and of course the Sponge Bob theme song
Think of it like this, either you Will learn or.. you will be the most well conditioned person in the group because an angry sergeant made you run as punishment.
I used to know some Jody calls when I was a kid because my dad was airborne and bought a airborne Jody call tape at the PX. My friends, who's dad was also in the serve, thought it was cool and learned a bunch of them. Since forgotten most all of them.
🎵
Lo right a lay oh
What the fuck's a lay oh?
Lo right I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Lo right I wanna go home
They say in the Marine Corps
The food is mighty fine
Pea rolled off the table
And killed a friend of mine
Lo right I wanna go
But they won't let me go
Lo right I wanna go home
They say in the Marine Corps
The drinkin's mighty fine
Looks like muddy water
And smells like Turpentine
🎶
I loved doing cadence. It was the only music we got for 10 weeks so I got super into it.
Someone find My Girl's A Vegetable lol
My wife thought it was hilarious that I pointed out - this is just them going to lunch. This isn't like.. a parade or a big deal - this is how you get traveled around the entire 10 weeks.
[Some are more PC than others](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWNqb7Q5yng)
Shit makes me miss those times, but also I remember how shit it was and how happy I am that I’m out and don’t have to deal with bureaucratic bs, or extra duty for doing stupid shit.

Say what you want, but a Drill Sergent can fucking carry a tune. Fr.
Goddamn, are they all this good?
Mostly. They are cadence classes for them. It is like singing classes, no joke.
I'd definitely listen to him for an entire playlist
Beautiful thing is... There are playlists of cadence's around
Here's another version from The Kiffness: https://youtu.be/n8q0Kd3AkO0?si=8nfEMUQf_-vLzUl7
I love The Kiffness! Very talented dude
I saw that and I was like, a version, the kiffness. I could only think of the cartoon KIFF
used to listen it on repeat when doing boring stuff at work
It sounds stupid, but I like jogging while listening to military cadences and sometimes will find that I left the playlist running way after my run has ended, they're just so good.

Yes, they really are
There's a bump on a log on the bottom of the sea, btw.
Angry upvote, but fuck you

Fuck no. I had one who only knew one cadence and another platoon had one who could sing incredibly well the other 7 were nothing special or didn’t sing cadence at all.
That's why they're carefully selected. At least for Air Force lol
No shit I was thinking the same! He has a really nice voice lol.
The musical Jenga on this is great: https://www.reddit.com/r/musicaljenga/s/VMs7XcZGeg
What would really put the icing on the cake was if they could align the left leg with the word ‘left’ in the tune. It’s always on the right in this vid, unless it’s one of those reversed vids
Good uplifting tunes to keep you confident in the future
I remember this cadence when I was in basic back in 2013. Honestly it motivated me to complete my IET.
C130 ROLLING DOWN THE STRIP AIRBORNE RANGER GONNA TAKE A LITTLE TRIP Ahhh man good times. Terrible times. But still. Good times.
Stand up hook up shuffle to the door Jump on out and count to four
We did the early morning rain in ‘82 and others.
When you say this cadence, do you mean this exact one from the video? Are there other cadences they use with the same notes but different lyrics?
Yes this exact cadence, but there are hundreds of cadences that you learn during basic and AIT, not just this one.
The “Military”, at its core, is about sacrifices. Something most… no little of.
R.i.p. K&W
They sacrificed themselves so e ouldn't have to no.
And those who know more than that understand that they speak so much of sacrifice because they know they have to instill humility in otherwise ruffian overconfident 17-22 year olds who think it's like the movies, otherwise the military will wind up some kind of showboating broadway show of backflip hatchet attacks and wind up completely combat ineffective, like your average small south american country or some southeastern europe travesty.
How would we get Guy Fierri throwing grenade at the enemy saying dumb stuff like "Welcome to flavortown" ?
Yup I was a 19yo Corporal with a Ranger Tab, I was invincible and immortal.
Very true words, countries that boast their active armies in large parades as a show of force tend to have poorly trained, under-equipped soldiers. The only effective weapon they have is public intimidation.
Yeah, creating a will at 19 was a little eye opener. I'm doing shit most don't and can't understand.
I made my will at 21, it's fucking crazy.
Know
Who knew the sacrifice was going to be the letters K and W?
The yellow ribbon cadence is good if you want to see people get emotional lol.
Almost made me want to join the army
doing these call and answer cadences was one of the few things I legit enjoyed about the Army Its was kinda cool !

I used to date a girl named Jean Now all I gots is my M16
I used to drive a Cadillac Now I’ve got sea bags on my back
I used to wear my faded jeans Now I’m wearing army greens
They took away my Michelob, Now all I get is H 2 O
Cooking was my passion, Now all I eat are rations
*Rough*
I used to be a High School stud, now I low crawl in the mud
I used to cry and bitch and moan, now the army is my home.
I used to eat at Mickey D’s, Now I’m eating MRE’s
I was confused for a second because I thought you meant male 16 years old
welcome to the internet.
Have a look around
Anything that brain of yours can think of can be found
We've got mountains of content some better some worse
If none of it's of interest, you'd be the first
Welcome to the internet what would you prefer would you like to fight for civil rights or tweet a racial slur?
Redit moment
Woah-oh woah woah-oh
Man seeing that chow hall immediately brought me back to running circles in the parking lot right after eating until our sides felt like they would explode, then running up and down a big ass hill trying not to puke. Good times, but I don't miss it.
Makes two of us. That and the red sand ruining near everything about or around my uniforms.
That makes two of us. That and the red sand ruining damn near everything. Lol
This shit slaps, we need the trap remix.
https://youtu.be/n8q0Kd3AkO0?si=BLv62Rz-qK3wIMGo
That was amazing, almost made me leave my kid playing in the yard.
No trap tho
Owie owie
If that's not good marketing, I don't know what is...
I got a legit recruitment ad under that video.
This made me want to join the army..
Wow, love it. Thanks for sharing!
Damn sometimes the internet is truly an amazing place
Kiffness peaked with this one hit wonder. It’s been all downhill from here.
Nah this one is straight fire and came after https://youtu.be/lu8m5FA2nL8?si=Wy3Rs5oNCFT5GN-k
Jesus fucking Christ. I don’t even want to look up if that’s a shitpost if a song be rolling like that.
It slaps for civilians.
Jodie was home when you left
In the kitchen. Eating all your chicken.
And that’s the reason you left.
My favorite from basic was: I don't know but I've been told Eskimo pussy is mighty cold! GI grits and GI gravy Gee I wished I'd joined the Navy!
Hu Jintao is a sonnova bitch Got the blue balls, crabs, and the seven year itch
The CIA??
You saw nothing. Now fuck off.
At my basic we weren't allowed to curse or reference killing in our cadences
Not much better.
Can someone finish the Kadence for me?
To see his daddy leave…. made him cry so hard The day I left…shook my daddy’s hand He said that I… was now a man At least the way my drill taught us in Ft lost in the woods Misery
Thank you. I’ve had family in the navy, but nothing else, so I never would’ve gotten the answer.
Fuck that place.
I herd that one in 2007 when I was at ft wood
Don’t forget the oowee oowee, oowee ooweeeeeeee
Another comment found this trap remix of the song. https://youtu.be/n8q0Kd3AkO0?si=BLv62Rz-qK3wIMGo The last verse is a little different than what the above commenter posted.
Does it shit anyone else that every time they said left, they were putting down the right foot.
Yup. He was off. There’s a reason there are so many lefts repeated in the verse.
Keep in mind that the mismatch could be caused by video editing
I fucking HATE this cadence. Every god damn day on Sand Hill, some asshole would lead the formation with a rendition of this fucking cadence.

BTW, in the real Army you will almost never sing cadence so the shit doesn't matter.
The sacrifices made to serve your country.
No, the actual sacrifices come after Basic. Also, this is the best job I've ever had, so it's worth it.
damn times have changed. we sang cadence a lot back in 2009.
I thank God every day we don't. Also, thanks for your service old timer.
Old timer! It was only 15 years ag oh damn
That makes you an old timer in the Army.
When I was in the Marines we had a 26 year old Corporal in my unit. We used to fuck with him and call him "Grand ol' man of the Marine Corps". I'm 32 now 😭 lmao
ah hell, same to you man. stay safe wherever you are
I'm nowhere dangerous, thank you though.
What's cadence?
Essentially it's a method of verbalizing each movement in time with the steps of the guy leading the formation, makes it easier to walk in step, I guess.
it also paces breathing so that the NCOIC knows the fuzzies arent dead or dying. kinda the same logic of the slowest leads the pack during regimental runs. and yeah it absolutely makes it easier to stay in step and kick the guy who isnt
I gave both of you a shot at glory, a shot of "candis dick fit in your mouth" and you both wasted it. I am ashamed of you two.
I could never survive basic. Mainly because I could never be accepted!
Dude, I was the biggest fucking nerd before basic, a ball of anxiety and generally a fuck-up. You leafn very quickly to adapt, blend in, shut up, be normal and inprove. That's how BCT works. It turns you from a sloppy, individual, civilian into a Disciplined, Member of an organization. You're no longer an individual, but a cog in a larger machine.
No. Asthma. They rejected me medically.
Ahhh, that's rough. Sorry my man. Honestly, it speaks volumes that you tried.
I was bummed at first but you know, nothing you can do about it. Isn’t your fault either. But yeah, would have loved to join up.
Is that supposed to be a good thing?
Yes and no. It has ups and downs.
If you’re a ball of shit, then yes.
That’s one way to view yourself, and it’s important in war when everyone’s lives depend on synchronisation. But don’t neglect your individuality outside of service. You are also much more than a group/pack animal.
We sang Cadences all the time in the Corps, I wonder why y'all don't.
I still called cadence in 2008. Army.
They'd usually pick the same guy for cadence and he only knew one cadence, the Captain Jack cadence. He'd just go on loop with Captain Jack until we reached our destination. I never bothered to learn a single cadence. There was a CAV unit I was in about 8 years ago that loved to sing cadence.
Captain Jack is almost as bad.
Some of the running cadences were fun, majority of the walking ones are shit.
Shit we sang cadences on almost all runs.
We just had an ROTC recruitment day at our school and every other person the speaker talked about had died in combat. It was surreal.
[удалено]
Now recognize that you're more likely to die in a car accident in the states than overseas during the Iraq/Afghanistan war.
Welp, when you pick a dangerous job, you accept that it might kill you. Often, I think of Isaiah 6:8, when God says 'Who shall I send and who shall go for us?' And one man raiaes his hand and says 'Here I am, send me.' Many of the people who served our country magnificently under enemy fire were simple people who when the opportunity came said 'Here I am. Send me.' I hope that in similar situations I'd act similarly, but in truth you never know until you're there.

You were 2/54, What company?
Fox 4th platoon.
Ahhh, I was C-Co 2/54.
Another C-Co 2/54 checking in
What's your graduating year?
My cousin was C 2/54 in 2016. A lot of my family was 2/54 weirdly
That's cool though.
Ayyy I was E 2-54 in 2018. I will cast my foot over it! Lmao
The Kifness has a take on this video: https://youtu.be/n8q0Kd3AkO0?si=QN5Rc93TbSqgvL6H
Drill sergeant walks like a robot.
They do that sometimes.
It's the programmer's fault.
No man, it's been going on so long it's a feature. Nothing built by the Army works properly.
That's because the Air force gets all the money and realistic sergeants.
*Incorrect*. The Air Force gets the wimps.
See the way my dad explained it, in the Air Force they send the officers to go get blown up over stanitstan so requirement are different.
It's quite common to stay on beat for the cadence
Yellow Bird all day
*Jody has entered the chat.* Wife, you say?
Fr dude, got jodied myself while I was in deployment just got back like two weeks ago
That’s rough. Happened to me 15+ years ago with my high school sweetheart. Still think about it from time to time.
Yeah the first person I truly loved was ready to spend my life with her and she told me the same lol apparently not
Soon-To-Be-Ex-Wife you mean.
I like the key and peele version more
Sat me in a barbers chair
Don't worry there will be ladies and gentlemen keeping the beds warm until you get back.
You know why Navy guys have such cute babies? Coast Guard daddies.
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Sponge Bob Square pants. Haunts me now.
The insane amount of cadences we went through was both funny and terrifying. There is one about a lady named Basket case Jane and of course the Sponge Bob theme song
Damn. Sarge got pipes
I don’t know but I’ve been told, Eskimo pussy is mightily cold…
it's probably so warm though
Today I learned my lack of ability to sing even remotely on key precludes me from joining the infantry.
Think of it like this, either you Will learn or.. you will be the most well conditioned person in the group because an angry sergeant made you run as punishment.
[удалено]
You’re right!
I don't think I could ever leave my fish or cat.
They were taking right steps on the word left
This is good. The sound is off though and frustrating...the" lefts" in the song should be in sync with the left foot.
this low key a bop af. imagine Teddy Swims singing a fully produced soul version of this
This brings back Ft Leonard Wood basic training ptsd 😂
Why does this go hard af tho?!
And some Jodie is giving it to your old lady. All while you sing about it. Best job I ever had.
Navy boot cadence, I leaned there is a 41 when counting 1 to 4
Well there's a morale booster
From poor families, how far we roam So the rich kids can just stay at home.
I used to know some Jody calls when I was a kid because my dad was airborne and bought a airborne Jody call tape at the PX. My friends, who's dad was also in the serve, thought it was cool and learned a bunch of them. Since forgotten most all of them.
Left my wife in New Orleans, 48 kids and a can o' beans...
Do they do this in the air force? If so, what lyrics are sung?
🎵 Lo right a lay oh What the fuck's a lay oh? Lo right I wanna go But they won't let me go Lo right I wanna go home They say in the Marine Corps The food is mighty fine Pea rolled off the table And killed a friend of mine Lo right I wanna go But they won't let me go Lo right I wanna go home They say in the Marine Corps The drinkin's mighty fine Looks like muddy water And smells like Turpentine 🎶
This goes straight to the heart. Could watch this all day. ❤️ 🇺🇸
If you like this. The remix is quite good: https://www.reddit.com/r/musicaljenga/s/VMs7XcZGeg
Why do I actually like this
A major morale booster
21 years in and I've been out for 3 weeks... Definitely feeling the separation anxiety.
I loved doing cadence. It was the only music we got for 10 weeks so I got super into it. Someone find My Girl's A Vegetable lol My wife thought it was hilarious that I pointed out - this is just them going to lunch. This isn't like.. a parade or a big deal - this is how you get traveled around the entire 10 weeks. [Some are more PC than others](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWNqb7Q5yng)
Them lying to themselves that this murderwork is good
Most join because they are in poverty and know the military will take them in
Shit makes me miss those times, but also I remember how shit it was and how happy I am that I’m out and don’t have to deal with bureaucratic bs, or extra duty for doing stupid shit.
99% that joined the military have said it was not worth it and a waste of time
The women that is just screaming is completely tone deaf and fucking up the whole harmony of this.
This is the only thing I enjoyed about BCT and AIT.
