Although I did my recruit training at MCRD Parris Island during the summer of '66, I eventually became a Drill Instructor at MCRD San Diego in 1972 and served there until 1975. My greatest tour of duty - the one I enjoyed the most during my 26 years of active service - was being a USMC Drill Instructor in the 3rd Battalion at MCRD San Diego. To this date, just thinking about those times, it brings a smile to my face. Heck, I was single in my 20's, had a body of "twisted steel and sex appeal," and knew how to use various swear words as nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, and what else have you - I mastered them all!!!!! Haaaaaaa...

@@DERKONIG12345 OMG - there are so many cadences out there, where to even begin, but OK - here is one at least. Remember, I was a Drill Instructor 50 years ago, so many cadences have been forgotten - but this one somehow stuck out in my mind. "Ah knew a girl in New York City - she had beer in both her titties....." I do remember one little item that I used to have my recruits say every night before lights out - here goes: "Every day in the Marine Corps is like Sunday on a farm, every meal is like a banquet. Over 200 years (then) of hell, death, and destruction - Marine Corps!!! Marines can stick more in and break more off than any other man, from any other land - and what's nicer is that we can do it neater and sweeter with less peter Amen..." They always loved that!!!

Reminds of the daily grind on the grinder and marching all the roads at MCRD SD back in the '80s....and pit calls as punishment. It seemed like a blur, even while I was there. COD every damned day. And being cussed out all too often for acting like we were all "at home on the block". And finally after months of this, we became a machine. Our platoon took the COD competition and everything else at the end of boot camp. I don't know if there was ever a moment like that one when I felt that much pride. It was really incredible that a bunch of young men (age 17 to 27) from all different backgrounds were turned into Marines. We were a snap-to bunch, and it felt good to be able to march with this kind of competence. About once every ten years or so, I have a dream (nightmare) that I am in boot camps all over again. Talk about waking up in a sweat.

The 1st Recruit Training Battalion Scarlet And Gold were always HiGH Steppers when they Marched during Close Order Drill. At MCRD San Diego, CA in January, 1983; I trained with the 3rd Recruit Training Battalion Sweet Blue and White Kilo Company Platoon 3008 we were marching heading North on the Starboard side and a Platoon from the 1st R.T.B. was marching South on the Port Side on the road They were evidently in the Third Phased of Training-M16A1s at the Right Shouldered Arms, Cammie Trousers Bloused and Their Black Cadillac Combat Boots Heels hitting the Deck with the Snap and Pop Sound as they were HIGH Stepping Leaning Back and Struting. My Platoon was totally Intimidated and Humbled by their Marching. They Drowned us out so badly that our Senior Drill Instructor SDI Gunnery Sergeant GYSGT Gerald A Gordon ordered us to Mobbed it back to our Barracks and told us they Wimped us out and we Better be able to March like that when our Close Order Drill Proficiency Training started with one of our Drill Instructors Staff Sergeant SSGT Keith Bland. Needless to say at Second Phase of our Marine Recruit Training we were allowed to bloused our Cammie Trousers for the C.O.D. Marching Test and Staff Sergeant SSGT Bland's Cadence was the Main one out of our 4 Drill Instructors that I adopted for Marching when i got to my First Duty Station at Marine Barracks MB GUAM Marianas Islands M.I.

Drill is the basic building blocks that discipline and unit cohesion is based on. If you can't master drill, you won't be able to do much more complicated activities like function as a unit in battle. Also, all units require basic adherence to drill in everyday activities like Formation, which takes places literally every morning
