I was a Drill Instructor in San Diego.

One of best cadence callers ever from my era. I prefer his style.

I have listened to this hundreds of times and each time I am transported back to Parris Island, Plt 233 in the summer of 1974. This gives me goosebumps.

Mad respect for all the drill instructors.

I was a D.I. at MCRD San Diego and cadences like these were heard alot. Mine was not quite this good but I made the privates lean back and give me a full 30. I had a decent cadence. Miss the Corps.

Drilling on the parade deck and listening to the Senior DI sing was honestly the most fun part of bootcamp. Seeing it all come together when plt 1068 won final drill was the most memorable part of my MCRD experience besides finally getting the ega.

Being a Drill Instructor was the best time of my whole life. Wish it never ended. Now I’ve got a future step son that wants to be just like me even down to earning the title MARINE and eventually being a hat as well. Couldn’t be prouder of not only him but my service. SEMPER FI

Damn, you are the Drill Instructor for doing this, I fell asleep to this, and then the next day walked through school singing this. People looked like I was crazy, but Veterans sang with me as we as a group marched through the school to class.I thank you for the respect you have giving to all of us who have and will service.

ABSOLUTELY FRIGGIN' MOTIVATING!!! REMINDS ME OF PARADISE ISLAND!!!!

Nothing like coming back from the gym at 0300 and listing to something so beautiful and strong that keeps you focused on moving forward. SEMPER FI Devil Dogs stand fast and keep moving forward.

This guy sounds better than most singers today.

@4:50-5:30 gave me chills... im in the army now, but from 2004-2008 i was in the marines. I still listen to, and call Marine Corps cadences while marching in the army. They'll never understand the pride of calling cadence like this. Great cadence MSgt McCants.

Shafi McCants is the best cadence caller I have ever heard

As a result of tuning in to Scribe Radio. This Sand Flea will NEVER forget the best days of my life. Nor the value of the repetition and knowledge given me by the D I s fr the moment I set down on the yellow footprints at PI to the warriors breakfast and TRULY becoming a man. I proudly served ten good years. I love you brothers and sisters. Not a DAY goes by I don't miss my beloved Corps. This reminds me that no matter where the winds of fortune or war take me. I'm never alone. Or never again lacking family. Semper fi. Thank you for everything 💜

I have a 6 and 4 year old boys and they love this. They walk around singing everywhere they go.

Just graduated from MCRD San Diego. Senior DI Sgt. karnes. Not too many drill instructors can sing cadence like this. So when you here it around base it's awesome!!

I'll be back next year with some new shit! Gonna get it on video soon.

Not a Marine but I love the cadence for my walks to keep me moving

I graduated last friday, got home monday, cant sleep without some sort of cadence or yelling...

Ahh blast from my era !. Memories on the grinder as the sun sets will stay with me forever !!! Ohooof*****g rrah !!!

Anthony, You have a good ear for a great cadence. The Corps is the only service that calls cadence this way. As a former D.I., way back when ( early 70's ) we found that if you could call a good cadence it would bring the privates to a high peak. Nothing could stop them. Semper Fi to you Anthony and that's an OOORah!!

I wouldn't mind doing these for my drill team, but no, we're Air Force....

One of the only joys in Paris island were if you can a DI who could sing good cadence we were blessed with two, our Senior and our Kill Hat

I have so much respect for our men and woman in uniform. One of my regrets was not getting into the marines. I had the honor of working with a marine who served in Iraq. He showed me this and I've been listening ever sense. Thank you to all of you who put your life on the line for us!!! There is an immense amount of sacrifices that you guys make and you do not get enough thanks!

you're a genius ! I never understood how you made cadences until one of the comments said how you made one from a song and I looked it up because I use your cadences all the time and I actually recognized it!! you're the best

As stated below, its good to see you return with the drill cadence. This video(audio) is simply an addiction that you can not take away. hope you show more :)

Msgt. This is one of my favorite cadence's...... Thank you for the motivation Msgt.

Msgt, these cadences bring me back to a happier time when I’m low. Thanks for these. Semper Fi from the baddest Doc KBay ever saw!

My drill instructors did cadences like these. Man I never thought I would miss them

Man, it's good that your back! I been looking for these videos as well.

I Saw That You Won That Cadence Calling Competition Master Sergeant. Congratulations

Thank God your back. I've been looking non stop for this dam video. Keep me moto with the cadence MSgt.

Unfortunately I never served, but I could listen to you call cadence all day!!! Shafi is the best I’ve ever heard!!!

AMAZING. I'd want this called at my funeral

The bangenist classic of our century.

BRINGES ME BACK TO MY DAYS ON PI! 1093 Bravo! SEMPER FI BROTHER! when you called the column right, i even said the pause that they train you with in Boot Camp, I love it man!

I miss drillin on the Parade Deck and hearing my Drill Instructor sing

I promise every time I'm motivated I can feel the Warrior in me...Oorah

Brings back memories of Boot Camp!

Thanks brother. I play this in bed and it helps me fall asleep. I reminisce and when i close my eyes I see myself and my platoon drilling in MCRD San Diego. Needless to say, I wake up with a stiff hard-on to start my day. SEMPER FI !!!

MSgt, I think found my DI's inspiration for his cadence. Thank you for posting this.

Gots that Native American wardrum chanting vibe.... Makes me wanna bust out some heavy bag work combo routines and smoke a few frajos at the same time while I reflect on elevated truths of creation, like days gone by; really though.... jajajajajajajaja

Makes me wish I never got out due to knee pain which was finally diagnosed correctly 3 yrs later as a torn meniscus.

I’m in the royal Canadian army cadets and I wish they would do this for cadence

It has been so long since I've heard cadence. This is some motivating shit

I come from a family where we are all in Army. I tried to go as the first enlisted female, but I was denied due to my congenital condition. But even growing up around soldiers, this runs a chill down my spine. Respect to all service members. Especially this guy.

So beautiful I want to cry.

I can hear this all day. Gotta love marching cadence!!

He has the old school way of cadence and I love it😂

Memories of boot camp and music to my ears drill was my favorite part in boot

smeper fi brother this shit still gives me chills and i have been out of the corps for two years now

this is great man bring back the memories from parris island

Reminds me of my explorer academy class 91 when we will always leave the academy I was in 2nd platoon.

my recruits when i was a senior drill instructor fell asleep to this on all my duty nights. it works!!

Man, this sounds almost exactly like my DI, Sgt. LaCroix. Brings back some damned awesome memories.

Well time for me to be more motivated

I listen to this when I sleep, I have it memorized and when my Ssgt. has my drill the platoon, I sometimes use abit of this.

I can't believe that dude would talk to a MASTER SERGEANT like that. Holy shit dude that's an E-8. I'm only a PFC. I get nervous even being around NCO's

God I love some good fucking drill cadence, you don't hear it in the fleet. Except the motivators which were all former DI's. Miss this shit.

I wish we got to call cadence like this in the Army damn I’m jealous

beautiful drill cadence reminds me of the military members of my family

graduated OCS a little while ago, I was fortunate enough to have some Sergeant Instructors who were AWESOME at calling cadence. Maybe most are though....

Beautiful cadence.

Really motivating, I hope one day I'll be able to call cadence like this

Thats the neatest thing I've ever heard

3:53-3:58 heard that part of the cadence in a brief part of Full Metal Jacket.

the GOAT still

What are the odds you have more of these to post, and/or tips for improving. I'd kill to march my Marines to this.

Thank you have a nice day boys

Beautiful voice!! Put my baby daughter straight to sleep!!!

This is beautiful

Wow, I wish our Cadet Commander at my Civil Air Patrol Squadron would call this out when we are marching. Music to my ears.

this playlist is amazing didnt know that was you on the actual video Msgt, last week i got pulled aside by our company CO after drilling our platoon i was using these cadances haha great playlist

Marine Cadence, serves a Purpose. Tip of the Spear.You Come out of it this way. Singing these songs......Tip of the Spear.....

I heard this all the time on the west coast...

Still trying to memorize this so I can drill by young marine unit at a competition.

Great! Brings back memories in my brain housing group. Semper Fi!!!

I recently went to a 10 day encampment to the Marine Corps base at Camp Pendleton " 31 area "(WFTB) 2 weeks ago I don't if you know the name of the program it's Devil Pups. But yeah anyway like you said we'll be disappointed wow you were right. There were DI's there drilling their Rct's & their drill cadence were nothing compare to you Scribe. Honestly I say your the best Drill Instructor ever your cadence are amazing. Also on youtube no DI can be compared to you. I wish i can be just like you.

Everytime I hear your voice, it bring me chills. Amazing! How long did it take you to project your voice as such, it's incredible. Hoah!! I try calling mine the same way but yours is better lol.

soul soothing for vets.

I can hear this the whole day 😄

Awesome, sir.

man i missed this, btw missed your channel sir.

This is awesome Hooah!

I literally listen to this in the shower😭

Perfect just really perfect

Once a Marine....always a Marine!!!! Bring back so many fucking memories, good shit! SEMPER FI!!!!

Really wish I could go back to being in the Corps.
