Veterans: Any interest in singing and marching to cadence?
 

If there is interest from the TV community, we could form a Platoon that would meet once per week to sing cadences while marching.
If you are interested in participating at some level please let me know.
If you have actually "run troops" in the past we could use your experience and expertise.
Once again, I am exploring the level of interest in TV.

Thanks...and "Stand at Ease"

I know a girl from Idaho.
She could shimmy down to her toes.
Am I right?
Your left, your right, oh you're right your left.

And that's the only clean cadence I know. I can also report to a wall and repeat the phonetical alphabet very fast. Amazing what military fathers can come up with for punishments. Count this brat out. I'd probably have nightmares after every drill.

I spent four years as a drill instructor. I've had all that fun I'm gonna have.

Thank you for your service.

Thank heaven I was in the submarine service, we didn't march

As I have retired from the air force I too have had enough drill and marching.No more for me thanks.

I don't know
but I've been told
Eskimo pies
are mighty cold.

Close enough.

Did I ever tell you about the time I spent fighting the Germans? Ok... it was 1967 but what's the difference...

I'll pass on the marching, but I could see where it could get some interest.

I was a percussionist and marched in the band in the US Army. The experience was sufficient to last me a lifetime. I will pass.

Just the thought of doing this is going to give me nightmares about my basic training drill instructor. I too will pass.

Noooooo way
 

Don't think so. Sounds kind of guy thing to me.

It would be a hoot to see how so many of our veterans (including myself) would fit (or try to fit) into their uniforms. Some of those flying buttons could put out an eye!

I count cadence on my morning walk (0300). Perhaps you've heard me....lol

I was in the drums and bugle corps in basic training had to do all the parades and lowering of the flag. Do we get to dress up in our uniforms? Sounds fun to me. I can see it now army, navy, Air Force, marines, and coast guard all decked out! :BigApplause:

Actually I have lost 25 pounds! :22yikes:

Hmm, I like the precision of marching as a group, and the skill to execute a turn as a group and stay in rank. I considered it a real honor to march with my unit in President Reagan's funeral parade.

Besides, this would meet my doctor's request to do more walking and enjoy doing it.
