A common US Marine Corps cadence goes:
Way back when at the dawn of time.
In the heart of Death Valley where the sun don't shine.
The roughest toughest fighter ever known was made.
From an M16 and a live grenade.
He was a lean mean green fighting machine.
He proudly bore the title of US Marine.
Another well-loved and well-used U.S. Navy SEALs cadence goes:
Up from a sub 60 feet below,
When we hit the surface, we'll be ready to go.
Side-stroke, back-stroke, swim to the shore,
When we hit the beach, we're ready for war.
Grease gun, KA-BAR by my side,
These are the tools that make men die.
Another well-loved and well-used US Marine Corps cadence goes:
I wish all the ladies were pies on a shelf
and I was a baker I'd eat em all myself.
I wish all the ladies were bricks in a pile
and I was a mason I'd lay em all with style.
I wish all the ladies were bells in a tower
and I was a bell boy I'd bang em every hour.
I wish all the ladies were holes in a road
and I was a dump truck I'd fill em with my load.
With the Company Repeating after the Lead "I wish all the Ladies", "Were (Item) in/on a (Place)", "And I was a (Occupation)", "I'd (Action)". There is also a chorus:
Barooba, Barooba
Barooba, Barooba
(Rhymes with Hoo-ah)
A U.S. Navy cadence goes:
I'm a battleship baby
Just a blastin' down the line
I'm a battleship baby
Just a blastin' down the line
So you better get out of my way now
before I blast all over you
It's just a little uh, a little uh, a little rock and roll
It's the kinda uh, the kinda uh, the kind to soothe your soul
So you better get out of my way now
Before I blast all over you
Each verse a different object is put in and a different action. (ex. Jackhamer/Jack, Steamroller/roll, screwdriver/screw)
A common US Army cadence goes:
C-130 rolling down the strip.
Airborne ranger gonna take a little trip.
Mission top secret, destination unknown.
Don't even know if I'm going home.
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door.
Jump right out and count to four.
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four.
If my chute don't open wide,
I've got a reserve by my side.
If that one should fail me too,
Look out below I'm coming through
Another from the U.S. Army:
C-130 running down the strip
Airborne ranger on a one way trip
Mission top secret, destination unknown
Don't even know if I'm going home
Stand-up, hook-up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
If my main don't open wide
I got a reserve on my side
If that one should fail me too
Look out ground there's a ranger comin' through
I said hey all the way
I say hey every day
If I die on the old drop zone
Then box me up and send me home
Pin my wings up on my chest
Tell my girl I've done my best
I said hey all the way
I say hey every day
And:
I wanna be in the in-fan-try
Fighting in wars is the thing for me
M16 running down the street
Not the people you wanna meet
And:
1, 2, 3, 4
Run a little, run a little, run some more
Sittin' on the hill top beatin' my drum
I beat so hard till the MPs come
I cry MP, MP don't arrest me
Arrest that man behind the tree
He stole whiskey, I stole wine
And all I ever do is double time
One from the U.S. Marine Corps:
Whiskey Whiskey Jack Jack
Meet me down by the rail road track track
With a 40 in your hand
I'm gonna be a drinkin' man
Whiskey whiskey jack jack
Meet me down by the rail road track track
With my girlfriend in my hand
I'm gonna be a lovin' man.
A cadence common in the U.S. Navy:
They say that in the Navy, the coffee's mighty fine
It looks like muddy water and tastes like turpentine
(Refrain)
Oh lord, I wanna go
But they won't let me go.
Ho-oo-oo-oo-me.
They say that in the Navy, the pay is mighty fine
They give you a hundred dollars, and take back ninety-nine
Refrain
They say that in the Navy, the chow is mighty fine
A biscuit rolled off the table, and killed a friend of mine
Refrain
Numerous variations exist for these verses and others.
A more traditional U.S. Navy cadence:
The Navy colors
The colors are red
To show the world
The blood we've shed
The Navy colors
The colors are blue
To show the world
That we are true
The Navy colors
The colors are white
To show the world
That we will fight
The Navy colors
The colors are gold
To show the world
That we are bold
Another from the U.S. Marine Corps, easily adapted to other branches:
If I die in a 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 done my best
Ma, mama don't you cry
In the Marine Corps you either do or die

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/FT7kf
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

I think the song Friday by Rebecca Black has the most ridiculous lyrics. This is because during the song, it just keeps on repeating "Friday, Friday, Friday" for like 3 minutes.

One time coming back from the Parade Ground the TI shouted out "Sound OFF".....so we sang "Yankee doodle Dandy". I guess we really embarrassed the poor guy. I bet he never left it up to the the discretion of the flight after that incident. I still laugh to this day over that.
