MS-Word file.
Raiders,
It's been a while since I sent this out. A few changes have been
added......
For any and all interested, the Marines here have put together a
list of cadences that we are hoping you take the time to read. I
know that a lot of you absolutely stink at calling them, not because
you stink, but because you simply don't know them and don't have the
practice calling them. It is our intention to fix that, so read on.
This is by no means a complete list, as a lot of cadence is made up
on the spot and you typically don't remember it after you just said
it. If you hear another from time to time, write it down and we can
add it to our list. Take the time to print these off and read over
them every day or so, and practice saying them to yourself to get a
feel for them. That way, when we call you out, you don't freeze up
and sound like porky pig.
**********************************************************
Alright, we'll start with the basics. You know, the whole left,
right, left, right thing. The majority of all cadences start on the
left foot. Each line of a verse typically does the same. It is a
way of keeping everyone in the same ryhthm. That is a crucial
thing that you might want to remember. As you get better, you can
play around.
When you are calling someone out to take your place, or vice versa,
here is what happens (on the run):
Midshipman Hoffman won't you come on out. (Repeat)
We want to hear your motivated shout. (Or "We want to hear you
wimper and pout.") (Repeat)
Take it on the left foot. (Repeat)
The mighty mighty left foot. (Repeat)
Take it. (Repeat)
I got it. (He's got it.)
Whereas the next person usually starts off with:
"Left, left, uh left, right ley-f" (Pardon the spelling of
pronunciations)
..... or.....
"Uh left foot. (Left foot) Uh good foot. (Good foot). Uh lo right
ley-f (Repeat) Uh lefty right your ley-f. (Repeat)
This is pretty much a standard in the Marine Corps, so get used to
it and do it right.
After that, anything goes. Well, almost anything. Obviously you
don't want to go saying some offensive crap in front of people that
are going to take offense to it. Save that stuff for the backwoods
when you are with cool people and no one is in ear shot. (I.E.-
Females (no offense, but typically females don't like to hear those
words).....or the Major)
Here are a list of cadences that we have come up with. Keep in mind
that you typically want to have some sort of pattern to your
cadence. You don't want to skip around and go from talking about
beer to talking ..........Scratch that, beer goes with anything.
