USMC Marching Cadence Parris Island SSgt Lambert

Ayo that’s Senior Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Lambert

If there's one thing I miss from boot camp. It's hearing all the cadences from the drill instructors

I left the Island in 94 but it never left me. And the sound of a marching cadence is for some reason psychologically soothing, like a chance to take a deep breath, put your brain in neutral, and let the cadence set the rhythm of life for just a few minutes.

Former PI DI; this is phenom! We were taught to be consistent with our cadence, the recruits would pick up on it. It was the toughest job I ever had in my life. Thanks for the great memories! 1st Alpha.

Army Vet 99-06 - All branches deserve much respect - Our sibling rivalry is just that - But there is a certain level of dignity we all feel when we hear any DI/DS guiding new recruits - All of us that have been there know what that feeling and understanding is - Vet❤

Needed this motivational reminder. A former DI and squad Leader passed away, and this cadence CLOSELY resembles the cadence he gave during the last few days of MY boot camp training. Nice that those carrying the legacy of the Marine DIs keep the motivational cadence. Desert Shield/Storm veteran here (1986-1992)

One of the most emotional moments a marine can have...took me back

As an Army vet I have much respect for the Marine Corps! Them guys 💪🏾

I still to this day I sing cadence in my head and out loud walking down the street!! You can never forget some good ol USMC cadence. I’m 50😂

I couldn't stop listening. May sound funny, but this made my heart happy. Never heard a cadence that sounded so beautiful to me.

The best part of this to me, is this man can sing. Perfectly in tune with his big pipes. Glorious.

USMC '82-'86 Once I became a squad leader I had to learn to call cadence for as many as 40 Marines. Whether for daily PT or moving around the company area, calling cadence is quite the confidence builder. Everybody had their own rhythm. The Marines would know you by your own signature cadence. Thanks for this great memory. I forgot how great it felt to move my troops with such precision, motivation and a bit of bravado. Semper Fi

My kids loved the abundance of food. Four of mine graduated from Parris. A fifth kid of mine drank a Bud Lite beer and enlisted into the Air Force.

Seeing that Island again gave me some goosebumps and memories I won’t EVER forget! I miss marching in the front of our platoon every morning and seeing those above pipelines, Spanish moss on the trees, and hearing a loud motivated Drill Instructor leading us down the road with our heads held high and a strut that Chesty himself would be proud of! June 17, 2008- Sept 12,2008 Mike Co. PLT 3077. Rah!

The discipline and foot work of that unit is amazing

Only Marines will agree, and understand. This is by far one of the most accurate videos I've ever seen. Semper Fi. Kill. Thanks for the upload.

I don't care what any body else says. I always say Marine Corps Drill Instructors call the best marching Cadence. This video bring back memories from my days in the Corps.

My platoon was 2086 back in 1967 at PI. I was a volunteer from Canada and my DIs were all from the deep south and I had a difficult time understanding them. Coupled with the military jargon such as "Oblique", I just followed the guy in front of me for the first few weeks. They would get up in my face and yell and I speak English and French but I wondered at times what language they were speaking. When you have a DI with a loud booming voice and you hear the boots sounding as one it is a joy to hear. Great video thanks.

Even I did not make the team I was classed out e40 in 1985 The marine cadence is always in my head when I need to rise above adversity or any other obstacle.. Always grateful and thankful for the marine mindset It has been a valuable skill that you can’t put a price on Semper Fi to all my brothers and sisters!!!

Whoever produced and directed this film is exceptional with a camera and should be given a fair amount of credit for making this Drill Instructor appear to be that good
