I retire 20 years ago from the US Army and I'm quite sure that Route Step is still used. When in route step you are in formation but not required to be in step.
@chatanwarrior what do the 70's have todo with what i said? i relize now that the real soliders in the Army have all male platoons in basic while non combat softies have intergrated.
So, what uniform do you wear? Or do you just film and criticize. As a Soldier in the Army, I can assure you that we still train hard, but we call cadence when we march from point a to point b when we are not in a tactical formation. It's a morale thing and it actually takes dicipline to stay in step and call a cadance. Not to mention its history that traces back to Washington and the Militia. Oh, I got a pen and some numbers if you want to enlist in the Army or Marines an step up to the plate.
Not to sound like a motard, but NONE of you stay in step. This video proves it. Your columns are non-existent. Don't try and say it takes discipline to stay in step, you know nothing of the sort when it comes to drill.
So again pose the question, what sevice are you in? None of us are in step? I can't really tell, because your camera or the upload came out bad. Anyway, if we are out of step, there may be a reason. Look up the term "Route step"...
Interestingly enough, I was actually in that formation.
We all stumbled upon this video eventually and got a decent kick out of it. Right before we finished we were staying on the floor above the marine that took this video.
No offense taken. It's all in good fun.
But seriously... what's with the porn parties you all had going in the day room?
hahahaha yea you were there at the right time. They were probably all drunk and they never really cared anyways. They do what they want for the most part at that place, if you couldn't tell
All four branches call cadence. USMC has marching cadences & running cadences just like the Army [though the context is different]. Quite frankly, calling cadence is a lot more interesting then just "left, right, left."
we all do have marching cadence but the way we (Marines) sing our marching cadence sounds so fucking sexy, we are the prettiest drillers and the best, Hoora (no disrespect). My wife is Army
it is? Some pretty unorganized marching. Usually the marching I see on TV or in parades is quite synchronized and people aren't singing stupid songs to try and keep in step and look cool
so why does the Air Force and Marines look way better when marching, and neither seem to sing songs while doing so? They seem to use actual protocol when marching, not just walking...
youve never heard of 'Cadence'? or 'inspirational/motivational runs'? in the service you see/do this all the time, I'm not too sure about the Navy, but the Army, Air Force, and Marines all do these sort of things, just look up 'Marine Cadence' on youtube
RD929 .. you my friend are officially a moron. I served in the USAF . We always ...ALWAYS . . marched to cadence with the exception of parade and ceremonies .
Yes but the Air Force doesn't SING and SCREAM their cadence. One of your little ropes will the cadence, while your black rope handles the guidon. Correct me now? Because that's how it is. I said the USMC and the USAF do not sing songs while marching, we use cadence. Like someone said earlier, the word "cadence" is being used a little differently.
the video "Marine grunt's life in afghanistan" depicts a marine combat patrol singing the "They say in the Marine Corps (insert line here)- is mighty fine" cadence. Ridiculoso!
But the Army is the only branch now that just blatantly screams out songs while marching, while individual soldiers will just yell out whatever they please like "YEEEEEAA" from Lil Jon and it seems to be accepted.
funny story about the marines who had astop over in flagstaff on their way to southern Cal. We cabledawgs were doing an installation up there and the marines were our cooks. they tried to use the alloted supplies the army sent to feed us cold cuts while they ate the hot stuff. Strange how every last phone stopped working until we got our hot food. Don't bite the hand that hooks up your communications :)
Those people can be 33Ws or 96Bs going to school. I know where exactly it is cause I was there. And I had so many friends who were walking behind the formation, not because they are pansies but because they were hurt after completing GAFPB. If you don't know what GAFPB is, well I'm sorry. If you think you can complete GAFPB with gold badge, then make fun of those people walking slow. You don't know why they are hurting to begin with. So let's not make fun of them.
Err, WTF? Why is the UNITED STATES Army testing for the German Armed Forces Badge? Are we training to be Nazis, now? (The digital camo already had me thinking that.)
OK, RD929, if you are a Marine at Ft. Huachuca, that means you are not a typical hardcore Marine anyways, just like soldiers at Ft. Huachuca are not infantry.
it is pretty pathetic how many of these New Soldiers are so damn weak, that is why I am getting out in 4 year 4 months...the ARMY is to soft for me now...
We are all Americans fighting for Old Glory.......the bad guy blows himself up and fights cowardly...we should be fighting that sorry excuse for a piece of shit instead of cracking on each other and the services. May God Bless all the services.
Wow... I actually think this is funny for a couple reasons, number one, I am in this company at Fort Huachuca haha, and secondly, the Marines at Fort Huachuca remind me of PE in high school, wearing their long green leotards doing PT right before noon haha. anyways, I enjoyed it =)
iii you're an idiot. Marines are the first to fight simple as that. The army has a lot of people that's the only reason they can sustain a fight but for the most part they give up and surrender because they can't fix a double feed in their m-16's. oh yeah and who was it who save jessica lynch? oh right Marines, yeah and when was there a report anywhere that a Marine was caught or held captive in combat since this war started? how many army personnel? a lot.
And don't tell me to start a fight with a soldier and see what happens. Just because he's a soldier, DEFINITELY does not mean he can beat everyone up. Same goes for Marines too. Just because someone is a Marine doesn't mean they can take on 20 people with a toothpick.Army Strong, they went from "Be All You Can Be in the Army", to "Army of One", to "Army Strong"
"climbing a mountain is strong, landing on one is ARMY STRONG"
O....K Hey there marine you might want to learn how to spell.... are you just a basic marine? I'm a US army Ranger, i bet your some dumb ass private, Respect all your brothers in Arms fore' he might save your ass out there in the sandbox....besides the head commander our there in the middle east is a ARMY General.
Every body is an army ranger! Just because you cooked for the Army Rangers does not make you one!That explains why everything is fvcked up! Westmoreland, Veitnam? see the paralles? Somalia? Army general.
