I have a couple. So mine are.

Up Jumped a monkey

Up jumped the monkey from the coconut grove
he was a mean mother ****er, you could tell by his clothes.
He wore a two button ditty, and a three button stitch
he was a loud mouth-mother ****in, son of a *****!
He lined a hundred women, up against the wall
and bet anyone, he could **** them all.
He ****ed 98 till his balls turn blue,
Then he backed off, jacked off, and ****ed the other two!!!


PT good for me.

mama & Papa were laing in bed
Mama rolled over and this is what she said
Oh, Give me some; oh, give me some
PT! PT!

Up in the morning to the Rising Sun

Ho Chi Minh is a son of a *****

Lordy used #3 in college in the early 70's and it had been around a long time then. So it certainly did not originate with Full Metal Jacket.

The main thing I loved about being in Divison was the Cadences. Everyones Loud Proud, Ft. Polk not so much. And i have yet to land at an Airborne MP unit.

Up in the morning before the break of day
I don't like it, no way
Eat my breakfast too damn soon
Hungry as a mad dog, by noon
Went to the mess sergeant on my knees
Singing mess sergeant mess sergeant, feed me please
Mess sergeant said with a big 'ole grin
If you wanna be airborne you gotta be thin
Saying hey all the way (hey all the way)
We run everyday (we run everyday)

I forgot about #4 till I read it again.
[Reply]

I didn't mean to imply that they were written for Full Metal Jacket....R. Lee Ermey was a drill insturctor before becoming an actor, I am sure he had lots of experience with calling cadence. Just noting that they were all used in the flick. Sorry if I was confusing. :-)
[Reply]

Knew at some point TOP was going to chime in. Top do you ever miss it? I know i did when i was at my last station and all the runs were Free runs, if you wanted to do PT that is.

I do miss the Friday PT comradarie, the atmosphere...the running?? Not so much. :-) :-)
[Reply]

Lol, I love the running, I just dont like it when there slow airborne shuffle style runs. Hurts the old knees. Most days i feel like im about 42ish and im only 23 lol.

I was always partial to Yellow Bird & Dingle Dangle. :-)
[Reply]

best cadence IMO is the "War Pigs" call. It is the Black Sabbath song War Pigs sung while running. I heard it at Fort benning and again at Fort Drum. Pretty motivating.
[Reply]

Oh fer cryin' out loud.

Old Knees at 23??

Did you start taking Viagra at 16?
