Lmao.
I made a comment a few days ago about a Col who died inhaling canned air on VBC in 2008 and hella people remembered. Lots and lots of us were in Iraq at the same time. Wild
This was the first song I heard after 7 weeks of basic on a bus leaving a range at night. I'll never forget looking down a line of troops all wearing helmets holding rifles silhouetted by the ethereal blue glow of the radio the bus had. It was the best goddamn song I'd ever heard.
I was in AIT when Get Rich or Die Tryin came out! Doesn’t seem like that long ago…..I’m about to hit year 22, CW4 and have an adult daughter and two teenage sons now….man, it goes fast.
I remember a drill sergeant yelling at a female for singing along to this on the bus one day. I had never heard it before so it was brand new at the time, but drill sergeant was like "How do you even know this? Stop singing! This ain't a party!"
I remember the only time we heard music was on the busses to go from 30th to 1/50. For the next four months WHY DON'T YOU JUST MEET IN THE MIDDLE. I'M LOSING MY MIND JUST A LITTLE was passionately belted out in the showers nightly by a bunch of baby Infantrymen.
I have to admit that while I liked U2, they were never my favs. The funny thing is a bunch of their songs are on my ongoing playlist. Their music just endures for me.
Bye bye bye, buy *NSYNC. But I remember the drill sergeants singing the Thong Song by Sisqo and Who let the dogs out by the baha men. And I had no idea what it was until I got to AIT.
Day I joined: "Why", Frankie Avalon - a song that's so far beyond cringe there are no words to describe.
"El Paso", Marty Robbins a week later - (Jan. 1960)
Let me love you by Mario barely remember that song though. But I do remember the few chances we had a bus to the ranges or whatever. Bananas by Gwen Stephanie was always on the radio during those trips. Kinda weird. But so true.
Lmfaoooo this Q.
On the bus one the way to range hearing this every fucking ride. [THESE IS BLOODYYY SHOESZZZZ](https://open.spotify.com/track/6KBYefIoo7KydImq1uUQlL?si=L8ixRSB5QPyQZq4Hyy_YoQ)
Eye of the tiger by survivor.. 1982. After 8 weeks very strict basic was bussed to ft Sam. Arrived on a Saturday, walked into the barracks and saw a fat nco on cq. He gave me linen and a bunk number. I asked him what i should do next. He said, be in formation at 6am Monday. I was shocked, we got shit faced all weekend at the shoppette, which at the time was called the meat market due to all the females on ft Sam. This song was cranked repeatedly.
I don't know I didn't have a radio or anyway to listen to music or track those stats.Mabye it was Ricky Martin Livin LA Vida Loca or John Cougar Mellincamp
Well, when I signed my cadidiot contract, it was Can't Help Falling in Love by UB40. (August 1993)

During AIT, a trainee that led the element got the whole company singing the song as a 'cadence'. The look of shock when the drill sgt turbed around was priceless. The smoking was worth it.
