    I left the Island in 94 but it never left me. And the sound of a marching cadence is for some reason psychologically soothing, like a chance to take a deep breath, put your brain in neutral, and let the cadence set the rhythm of life for just a few minutes.

      As an ol' Marine Vet, I'd like to say "thanks for admitting it." My ex was Army. She overcompensated. I have one son who is USMC VET and another who is US Army active duty and soon to be deployed. I know I don't have to say that I admire and respect them equally. I take every chance I get to brag about all my sons. Even the stinkin' civilian sons.
      And as the son of a Squid who's brother/my uncle was a Leatherneck I know there's no love lost between the branches. I've personally experienced the bar wrecking brawls between Army/USMC/Navy while stationed up in N. JERSEY (where I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of special weapons) near Colt's Neck and Leonardo. And the US Army has Fort Monmouth. Ah, the good times.
      I dearly Love and Appreciate any and all of those few citizens who have served in any of the branches, except Space Force...because even the Air Force rips on them. So thank you Army, because not everyone can be a Marine. ( A.R.M.Y

    My platoon was 2086 back in 1967 at PI. I was a volunteer from Canada and my DIs were all from the deep south and I had a difficult time understanding them. Coupled with the military jargon such as "Oblique", I just followed the guy in front of me for the first few weeks. They would get up in my face and yell and I speak English and French but I wondered at times what language they were speaking. When you have a DI with a loud booming voice and you hear the boots sounding as one it is a joy to hear. Great video thanks.

    Thanks for posting this. Takes me back to Army boot camp at Ft. Lost-in-the-Woods, Missouri. Each Sgt had unique cadences and I loved all of them, and almost lost my mind when they ordered me to mark cadence during an A-group run. My parents were both in ‘Nam, so they were surprised when I actually started marking cadence. I was later told that some of my candences were inappropriate in today’s kinder, gentler Army.

    I turned everything off and just listened. My youngest son just became a Marine. Watching this somehow made me sad at first. Because i know times are not very good. Then i heard the marching steps and felt proud of those children. By the end I hear the leader's love and care for those kids. What respect I have now for our military trainers.
    I also realize my child is not a child anymore and the bonds he will make for the next 5 years will last forever. And in order for him to succeed I must let him fly. He now belongs to God and the United States Marines.
    To all military parents, just like a man can never understand the pain of having a child, people without a child in the military will never understand the pride we feel and the extra burden we carry. This is why if you have anything negative to say about our military you best make sure a parent of soldier is not around.
    To everyone that made this post. Thank you, you have helped me understand what my role is as a mom and understand my son a lot better.

    Miss this, . . .very nostalgic. The rythmic singsong cadence in the early mornings . . .the sun barely lighting the edge of the earth. Everything quiet, but the thundering heels on the pavement, and the hypnotic, entrancing , menacing song of the DI. Semper Fidelis.

    As a D.I. ( 70 -73 ) cadence would bring the platoon but together creating it takes time and no two are the same. Still sing mine driving down the road when I get board. Coming off a operation in Vietnam we marched off the LZ to the cadence of out platoon S/Sgt. Henry Hatchet. Dusty, dirty uniforms torn and battered and wore out still had the pride cadence gives you. Turned many a head that day seeing us smartly marching doing parade routine on a dusty firebase. Later he got chewed out for exposing us to enemy artillery but he didn't care. Lifted our spirits. Henry later went to Eight and I and in the running for Sgt Major of the Corps he passed away is was missed

    I hit the yellow footprints at Parris Island the night of 28 June 1976 to begin my path to becoming a United States Marine. On 22 September 1976, standing on the parade deck for graduation (we didn't have an early EGA ceremony in those days...you had to graduate), I was first called Marine! 1st BN, A CO, PLN 161 -- SDI SSGT John Mersino, DIs SSGT Johnson and SGT Shuck. I still get goosebumps when I hear the "Marine Corps Hymn" (which, by the way, is my phone's ringtone). I am now 66 years old, still Marine, and I still miss marching and drill. This never gets old! Semper Fi!!! OOH-RAH!!!

    I was there to pick up my son after he graduated from boot camp at the end of 2022. I remember that early morning the family members were gathering on that very road as the freshly graduated Marines came by running in cadence. Talk about goose bumps and chills and the proudest moment an American can have.
