These are just some of the cadences that we as a unit do during P.T.. Cadences are designed to not only keep a group of cadets in step, but are also used to motivate and inspire cadets, giving them a sense of teamwork and pride in their unit, their job, and in themselves. This web page is for those of you who are nervous about being on the spot when the leader of the run calls you, of all people, out to lead the platoon in the run. Have a look!
Baby Brigade
When I came out of my mother's womb,
I found myself in a delivery room.
All bloody and wet I repelled to the floor,
cut the umbilical and crawled to the door.
Cruise the ward and I'm a looking good,
baby little marine like I should.
Camouflage diaper, black baby shoes,
butter knife sword, baby dress blues.
Hum-v stroller, tricycle tank,
three diaper pins on my collar for rank.
Down the hall I heard some crying like heck,
walked right in called attention on deck.
I said listen up wimps I'm in command,
all your cryin' and sniveling I will not stand.
They said aye aye sir and I had it made,
I was commanding officer of the baby brigade.
I Wanna Be A Drill Instructor
Thunder, lightnin drizzlin rain
Nothin but PT on my brain
Up in the mornin with the rising sun
(your unit) gonna take a little run
I love workin for Uncle Sam
Lets me know just who I am
I don't want no teenage queen
all I want is my M-16
They put a rifle in my hand
and told me to defend our land
Then they dropped me on a foreign shore
an told me to go fight a war
If I die in a combat zone
box me up and ship me home
Pin my medals upon my chest
Tell my momma I did my best
Put me in a set of blues
and don't forget to shine my shoes
Throw my body six feet down
Til you hear it hit the ground
When it hits the bottom you'll hear me say...
I WANNA BE A DRILL INSTRUCTOR
I WANNA CUT OFF ALL OF MY HAIR
I WANNA BE A DRILL INSTRUCTOR
I WANNA WEAR THAT SMOKEY BEAR

C-130
C-130 rolling down the strip
This platoon's gonna take a little trip
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door
Jump right out and shout, "MARINE CORPS!"
If my main don't open wide
I've gotta another one by my side
If that 'chute should fail me too
Look out ground, I'm a-comin' through
If I die on that old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home
Pin my metals upon my chest
Bury me in the leaning rest

C-130 Variation
I don't know but I think I might
Jump from an airplane while in flight
Soldier, soldier, have you heard?
I'm gonna jump from a big iron bird
Up in the morning in the drizzlin' rain
Packed my chute and boarded the plane
C-130 rollin' down the strip
64 Rangers on a one-way trip
Mission Top Secret, destination unknown
They don't even know if they're coming home
When my plane gets up so high
Airborne troopers gonna dance in the sky
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 by my side
If that one should fail me too
Look out ground, I'm a-coming through
If I die on the old drop zone
Box me up and ship me home

Everywhere We Go
Everywhere we go-o
People wanna know-o
Who we are
So we tell them
We're not the Army
The land-lovin' Army
We are the Navy
The mighty-mighty Navy
We're not the Air Force
The low flyin' Air Force
We are the Navy
The mighty-mighty Navy
We're not the Marines
Oorah Marines*
We are the Navy
The mighty-mighty Navy
We're not the Coast Guard
Boat full-a retards
We are the Navy
The mighty-mighty Navy

Engineer, Engineer
Engineer, engineer running down the road
Running so fast makes the others look old
We're running hard and we're running long
Still singing another stupid song
Build a road or cut down a tree
Or dig some graves for the Infantry
Working hard and working all day
Knocking down anything that gets in the way

Master Sergeant
Up in the Morning at half past 3
Master Sergeant Brooks is bringin' heat
she's got cadets all around her desk
got two JG's in the front leaning rest
Master Sergeant, Master Sergeant can't you see
you can't bring no smoke on me
I can run to Bremerton just like this
all the way to Bremerton just like this
I can run to Bangor just like this
all the way to Bangor just like this
I can run to Paris Island just like this
all the way to Carolina just like this

PTing With Granny
When my ol' Granny was ninety-one
She did PT just for fun.
When my ol' Granny was ninety-two
She could PT better than you.
When my ol' Granny was ninety-three
She could PT better than me.
When my ol' Granny was ninety-four
She did her PT on the floor.
When my ol' Granny was ninety-five
She ran PT to stay alive.
When my ol' Granny was ninety-six
She ran PT just for kicks.
PTing With Granny
When my ol' Granny was ninety-seven
PT killed her and she went to heaven.
She met Saint Peter at the Pearly Gate
Said, "Hey Saint Pete, I hope I'm not late."
Peter said, "Granny you're welcome in
But first drop down and gimmee ten!"
But Granny said, "Peter, you're full of it
'Cause I got me a light duty chit!"

First Formation
First formation it was pouring rain,
MSgt said it was time for pain.
Then he said extend to the right,
All you sick calls get out of my sight.
Spent last night out drinkin' gin,
Knew for sure I'd see it again.
Pushup, situps, run in place,
MSgt was setting a heckuva pace.
High jumper, lunger, and body twist,
So many others too numerous to list.
By the time we assembled to the right,
I was praying with all my might.
MSgt spotted me in my daze,
Said where've you been the last couple of days?
Told him I spent them with my girl,
Oh, how she makes my head swirl.
MSgt said that's well and fine,
But today, hero, your butt is mine.
How many times do I have to say,
If you play the game you got to pay.
