Memories outstanding. I did three tours as a Drill Instructor. (1) at San Diego as a Corporal. (2) at Parris Island as a Sgt. And GySgt. Series Gunny. Still remember those days. At 68 still working out. Told my family when i die, put some cadence so i can run all the way to my destination. Keep up the good work. Keep us alive. Marine Corps all the way. Semper Fi Marines. Oooooooorah. Devil Dogs. Greetings from GySgt Montemayor Retired USMC 77-97 Santa Rosa, Texas.
As a former Marine, after being exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam, whenever I face hardships at 73 years old, and people ask me how I am doing, I reply, "I'm toughing it out, just as I was taught. When the going gets tough, the tough get going." I'm a warrior, period!
USMC changed my life. I’m a much better man because of it and the men I served with. I’ll never forget the time I spent servicing my country and being an absolute machine.
What kind of crap is that? What you say is one thing. The fact is another thing! 😂😂 Plus, they all come out with the same mental and emotional issues. It takes someone with serious mental issues to be a marine.
Proud daughter of a USMC veteran. My dad takes so much pride in being a Marine and he has raised me to be proud to be an American. Cadences make me so emotional!
My son is at the PI right now, 6th week for them. When he told me he wanted to follow me and be a Marine, my heart dropped. I knew the pain he would go through and that hurt me as a father. I also knew he was done being my youngest son. He would graduate a Marine. Forever changed and I couldn’t be more proud. He wrote a few weeks in and said knowing I went through and was a Marine helps him every day to keep going. If I could do it, he could. I bawled like a friggin’ baby. No lie.
@@SedricSleepzzz yes sir but I guarantee you if a platoon of all if us gave it our damndest we'd earn the title like everyone else.... and don't worry cuz in every part of training we won't let you down like you wouldn't us... and don't forget there's navy corps men every step if the way... so you damn right your gonna be shoulder to shoulder with us!
I'm 50, served in two wars, and would GLADLY put my EGA back on and go back into the fight! There is NOTHING like being a infantry Marine. God how I miss it! Semper Fi Devildogs!!!
Damn that’s amazing thank you for your service❤️💯 I shit out to boot camp in 3 months and for infantry as well. Everyone tells me I’ll regret it and to change my job and that I’ll hate it but I love it and I am not even there yet. This is an amazing feeling knowing I can and will soon be a Marine.
Outstanding, Marines! MCRD, 1969. I always could run longer, and easier, with a DI like these guys calling cadence. To this day, 52 years later, at the gym, I always say to myself at the end of a rep series, “And One more for the Corps.” Motivated!
@@lisa9867 - What are the odds that he was MY Drill Instructor? That would be so cool. Mine had last names of Contreras, Wilde, and Bialogloi. Any match? Even if not, please thank your Dad for making me, and so many other young men, into the men we are today. I owe so much to men like your Father. Thanks for being proud to be a daughter of a US Marine. Semper Fi.
@@richardjacquez4731 - I sat, spit shining shoes, listening to a small transistor radio one of the DI’s brought, when man first landed on the moon. I wonder if, nowadays, they would bring in a TV set so maggots could watch something that historic.🙂
Had this cadence on cassette and ran to it every morning for 6 months before I went to Parris Island in 1983. I am 57 years old and I run 4 miles three days a week. I plan on running to this now that I’ve found it again. Semper Fidelis 🇺🇸
Running was my favorite sport, ran marathon, ten k race, and got to meet military veterans, now I can go jogging and I am still have my RU-vid cadence, just like the part that says "grandma was 71, she ran her PT just for fun" does any one remember the cadences
Ohhrah PISC PLT 3117 3rd BTN. Grad 17Dec1993!! Semper for Devil Dog!! Bought this on cassette at Saigon Sam's 2 days into camp Geiger MOS 3111 INFANTRY!!

My husband was an active duty Marine 78-81. Left active service after three years as a Lance Corporal. He is now 61, still moves like he is on parade march... never lost that rhythm or marching stride. Two strokes and aging be damned he still marches like a Marine.
I just recently earned the title Marine, I remember training at the gym pushing myself to become a Marine and now that I am I have a bigger fire I want more I am more prideful and I am proud to be a Marine and to serve my country Semper Fi
Hey Moto, they already men, Marine Corps with make them better. They will walk through the years with these values instilled in them: Honor, Courage and Commitment. They are the building blocks that will aid them in making the right decisions at the right time, both on the battlefield and in our Nation's communities. They are entering a brotherhood, and will always be a Marine for the rest of their lives. Semper Fidelis or Semper Fi (Latin for "always faithful"). This is how one Marine greets another. You as parents have laid the foundation, great job. God bless your commitment to your children.
They shouldn’t join under Biden’s era….they might be shipping out to Ukraine and Russia might escalate it to start entering other countries and might go into WW3 and as soon as they are done with boot…straight to the battlefield
Wish my mom had the same feeling when I talk about wanting to join. Her not wanting me to join is the reason I haven't done it yet but I want it so badly.
I’m an 18 year old man I’ll be 19 when I ship out for my basics and this is the most anticipated moment of my life being able to join the ranks of the brave men and women who have or are currently serving I’ll be running to this every day from now til my legs can’t carry me any more so glad I found this
Goose bumps all day long!! If I could go back and do it again...I absolutely would. The Marines made me the Badass that I am today. Thank you to my Brothers and Sister's for paving the way so we can continue the tradition.
My brother is joining the Marines. He sets off in 5 weeks man i’m gonna cry like a baby when he leaves. I know Marines is gonna turn him into the man i always looked up too when i was younger. God bless all of those that have served and those that are serving now❤️
And Now I know why they removed Cuomo.. because The FEMALE HITLER IS GOING TO USE HOMELAND SECURITY TO FORCE PEOPLE TO GET THESE SHOTS... MARINES/ ARMY WE NEED YOU NOW...!! HELP US....!! BILLY MEIER WARNED US ABOUT THIS!!
I instantly got flashbacks of being in PT shorts and skivvy shirts ... going for a brisk trot in 34 degree weather...Standing at attention afterwards with steam rising from every Marine, like raw power desperate to be released. New subscriber. Semper fi!
Takes me right back to parris island. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. If i had to do it all over again i would still join. Truly a life changing experience that i cherish. It opened so many opportunities after i got out. I now work for one of the biggest aviation companies making over 100k a year. Best part is i work with one of my best friends from the corps. If youre on the fence i would do it. It will be life changing.
I ship off next Monday (August 21st) Ive always had a huge respect for Marines growing up, and I've always wanted to be one. I cant wait to finally become a Marine, it's going to be awesome! Semper Fi!
Make ur parents proud. Remember u have to earn the 🦅 Globe and ⚓. Give all u got. Be strong and positive. Greetings from GySgt Montemayor Retired USMC 77-97. Santa Rosa, Texas.
My brother is shipping off in about a month. His name is Chase Landers i hope you get to meet him. God bless you soldier make us proud in Jesus name!❤️
This is the sound of my Marine Corps in 1978 MCRD San Diego platoon 1088 1st Bn Alfa best battalion. Running PT in combat boots ooh-Rah! Semper Fi! Get some! Thank you Sr. Drill instructor SST. Martinez, Drill instructor SST. Clarke, SGT. Lopez. Forever branded in my brain housing group. The fathers I never had and made me the man I am today. 60 years old and still ready to snap to!! God bless our beloved Corps and all who sacrificed and served.💯❤️🇺🇸✊🏽
It's been over 20yrs since I enlisted on beloved Corps, and these cadences take me back. So, then I start PT-ing and forget that I'm 40yrs old, and make me feel like a young Marine. Semper Fi, Devil Dogs!
Marines and all of our fighting forces, Army, Navy Air Force and special forces did a wonderful Job and will always be our hero's. You are the Tallest Standing people in the U.S of A. Thank you all!
I'm the opposite. I made a promise to myself that I would never run again unless my life depended on it and 55 years later I've kept that promise. I route step up to 3 miles every morning but I have not ever run again.
I shoulda joined in 1982. Instead I fucked around, moping over a broken heart, taking college classes and working in a series of pizza places. Finally I joined in 1985, but had to wait 9 months, till 9 FEB 86. The best thing for my broken heart woulda been to find my family of MEN in the Corps. Shoulda joined THAT DAY.
Listening to these cadences makes think of the verses my dad used to sing for me when telling me stories of his days as a Devil Dog. Dad was a Vietnam Vet and he wasvfiercely proud of his time in the Corps. Dad always said there was no such thing as a former Marine and I believe him. He also said that Marines were guarding Heavens corridors. Dad went to take his post in 2017 and I can see him in those heavenly Dress Blues. I'm a proud Marine's daughter. I miss my dad and his tales of Parris Island. Our entire family is from SC and we love the Marines SEMPER FI MARINE CORPS!!!!
Pre Happy Birthday Marines, the Corp changed my life forever 75/96 Gunny. 65 years young, and I still train. Pt, BJJ, and getting ready to run my first ultra marathon. I will be hearing this and run to the sun goes down.
I went running listening to this with my earbuds ... I don't know how it happened, but I followed the cadence and somehow Left-Right-Lefted my way into the Recruitment Center. Very devious. GG USMC.
Our son just finished the crucible today, These cadence songs being me back to 1981 San Diego 3066. They're good, but we were fortunate to have a couple of phenomenal cadence masters that could keep us entertained through hours of runs and drills. I should build an archive site for them.
I am a Canadian and I love this shit. I could listen to it all day long. I love the work work cadence song. Thank you United States armed forces. Keep it going.
One of the proudest times of my life, would not trade it for the world. Semper Fidelis, God bless the United States Marines and their families always and forever. God loves Marines because we keep....
It's fashionable today to say"Thank you for your service" When I'm told this I look them in the eye and say, "THANK YOU, for MY service it was the best time of my life!"
I tried to get into the Marine Corps but a lot of things went wrong when I finally got the chance and now I can't ever. But the training I went through with the Pooles gave me one of the best times in my life and I now train with those times in mind. Semper Fi, Marines! 🇺🇲🗽🎇
30 years ago I took the test twice to join the Marine Corp.. I failed by one point twice.. but I'm proud to say that I tried.. I have a lot love for the USMC.. Semper Fi..
My dad was there too! First Marine Division at Chosin Reservoir. He just passed away last year. He was a proud Marine and one hell of a tough dude. The Corps ran through his veins for sure. He’s guarding the streets in Heaven now. Semper Fi
@@mindee3754I’m sorry to hear about your Dad I lost my Dad in 1993 he also had the Corp running threw his blood My Dad and yours also they are some tough ass guys I wanted to join out of High School but my Dad didn’t me want to must have seen some horrible things never talked about it maybe that’s why But We are Marines by blood my friend take care They are up in heaven with Chesty Puller
@@eddieweigel9490 yes our dad’s definitely saw things and experienced things we could never imagine. My dad didn’t ever like to talk about the things he saw and my mom said he had nightmares about those things for 40 years after the war….. but they did their jobs and thankfully got back home otherwise we wouldn’t be here today. Peace to you and Semper Fi. The Marine Corps definitely runs through our veins too
@mindee3754 my respects and condolences to both of you. Losing a loved one is very hard, not to mention how emotional and depressed one gets. Sending a salute with special honors to all who have lost a warrior. All branch of service. Blessings GySgt Montemayor USMC Retired 77-97 Santa Rosa, Texas
I enlisted in the Corps in 04/1989. I completed Boot-Camp successfully after 13 weeks of rude awakenings and some painful, stressful moments I'll never never forget! I earned the title:U.S. Marine.
@lunzie thank you very much for sharing your husband's story. My father was in Vietnam as well and struggled raising me and my brother and sister due to his ptsd. One positive thing he did was raise us in the Roman Catholic Church to understand the importance of Jesus christ and his fatherly role. Our serviceman in this country give all just as Jesus did for the betterment of everyone else. I will remember your husband in my daily prayers along with every serviceman in this amazing country. Like toby Keith says so we can sleep in peace at night as we lay down our head. There is someone out there and I am so very grateful for all of you.
This is awesome. Sounded off all the way down Manhattan Blvd in New Orleans, windows wide open! Felt the endorphins! Oorah! The memories made me happy.
I'm the wife of a retired Marine, and I'm also a sixty-two year old grandmother. I love rebounding every day to this fantastic, motivating video. Thank you whoever put this together because it really, really helps to do my exercise. It also takes me back to the good ole' days of when "we" were in the Marine Corps.
Im not a marine, im not even American, but I always ran with these candences in my earphones. Never failed to make me run one more extra mile above my limit. My utmost respect goes out to all of you Marines. Thank you for your service, Semper fi!
I grew up in the Marine corp.. Spent time on both sides of the cadence, it's alot harder then most people think. Alot cannot do it. Definitely makes a man out of you. Better for it and loved it. Listening makes me want to get up and run, but my knees won't let me.
Not a Marine... Nor military... But the son and nephew of two Nam era USMC vets. My dad recommended I use cadences for my morning cardio. My hats off to all of you who served the country and a sincere Thank You. To quote SSgt Sidney Baggett: "Semper Fi"
Started running to cadences when my brother joined in 2013. Helped me feel closer to him in boot camp and through his deployments. Finished my first half marathon running to them last year. This video is superior to lots of other USMC cadences on RU-vid, so thanks for that! The only suggestion I have is to get rid of the ads. They’re new this week, and I strongly dislike them.
