No....not the one "Cojones" sang, but the one the other marines who are marching were singing.
I remember some of the words:
"what the marine core did for me"
"Used to drive a Chevrolet"
That's all I can remember. Thanks in advance!
"Everyone's a critic...except people who still know how to kick back and ENJOY a movie..."
This is probably not correct, and I don't feel like digging my DVD out to verify, but I think it is:
Momma, Momma, can't you see
What the Marine Corps has done to me?
I used to drive a Chevrolet.
Now I'm marching everyday.
And just for fun, Cojones was:
Model A Ford, and a Tank Full of Gas!
Got a Handful of Pussy,
And Mouthful of Ass!

I finally watched Titanic! The ship sunk at the end...weird.
Thanks Buddy :) THat's awesome!

Three years ago when I quit at Emblematics on Camp Pendleton we had two cadence books we sold. It may be in one of those books. They were tiny hand sized paperbacks and some of those cadences were x-rated. The guys told me that when families started moving onto base in larger numbers they had to edit some of those cadences around women and children. The one used in Officer and a Gentleman was in the books and it was xxx-rated.
shareWe always did that cadence in the Navy or a variety of others as well. Shoot we would also use the Gilligan's Island them song for a cadence. LOL There were more that I could tell you but I cannot remember them off hand.

From my Navy days in Sunny Great Lakes:
"If you like your cugzy tight
Stomp your left and drag your right"
And from somewhere (prolly a movie):
"I don't know, but I've been told
Eskimo pussy is mighty cold."
Ahh, the good old days before Political Correctness and Liberalism turned the greatest fighting force in the history of the world into a playground for social experimentation.
Women on submarines was, is, and will be a BAD IDEA!!!!!!
I was surprised to see the cadence "I don't know but I've been told, Eskimo pussy is mighty cold."
I was in High School ROTC 1950 to 1953, and we used to use that cadence.
I know exactly what you mean shipmate on how "Politically Correctness and Liberalism ruined our military." I loved things the old school way and not this kinder gentler crap!

I have heard that from a lot of people retired who were in pre-1965. They all say that these guys nowadays are pampered like babies. Sometimes political correctness is destructive. Paople are afraid to say anything for fear they will offend someone or get sued or something. I agree with women being treated somewhat better but when they started mixing women and men on the same ship the pregnancy rate went up and that could be translated as loss of personnel due to something that should never have happened in the first place. The military are fighters not lovers at the same time. In a battle zone what is necessary? Brains and brawn not wine and roses.I believe that women have a place and so do men exclusive of each other for entertainment. BTW I am a female from a family that the military runs in the blood. It is hard to figure out someone who has not been in the military or who isn't married to someone now in or was in the military.
shareSee when I went through basic I went to San Diego, California and how they had Orlando set up was perfect! They had one side of the base with women and the other side men. The sailors who graduated from boot did not get to see any woman until after they graduated from boot camp. That meant that some of the ladies going to basic in Orland hooked up with guys on the other side of the base. I do not care for this politically correctness and feel that it has weakened the military a lot.

Why do you feel that this weakened the military? Are you talking MCRD or NTC?
shareWell you have to watch what you say to the recruits because it hurts their feelings. I think the government changed all of the policies and all to be honest with you.

I know what they did. My sons went in knowing most of this but we all told them anyway. They saw people pampered at MCRD and at Great Lakes. My older son is out of the Marines after 8 years and my other son and daughter-in-law are in their 3rd year of the Navy. I also have two nephews in the Navy and 2 nephews in the Army. I have 2 brothers who were Navy, one was a Marine and one was Army. My father retired a Master Chief NASNI. My one uncle was a retired Brig General both world wars. When he took all of us on MCRD in 1967 we passed a deck full of new recruits and his comment was "They don't know nothing yet." The whole idea of boot camp was to break them and then build them into a team that obeyed as a team and thought as a team.
shareThe terms that the retired Uncle of yours was exactly what I heard in San Diego when I went through basic training. My company commanders told me they were there to break us down and build us up once again to conform military standards. It has gotten soft and I do not like how they allow at Great Lakes women to go through basic with the guys. Tradition was that us men were not allowed to see a woman for 8 weeks and there were a few women that we would see on base but we had to look at them as if they were military though not as women you know. I would see from time to time family members, girlfriends, fiance's, and wives come to see their recruit graduate from basic but we were not allowed to talk to them or even look at them either.

I was quite surprised to see females in with males at the graduation when I went to see my son graduate in Nov of 2007. He met his future wife there and they got together in San Diego again after the birth of their son conceived, guess where? Great Lakes! Until they did the dates they weren't sure. Now my grandson is a year old and my son and daughter-in-law have been married almost 5 months now.
shareI was not too happy about that when I was stationed at Great Lakes in 2001 and was there until 2003 because that is not how it was for me when I went through basic. The reason why they want to put the men and women together is for them to learn to work together. I understand that concept but why not wait until like A school to do that. I am happy for your son and daughter in-law. I heard a lot about marriages right after boot camp and had to deal with married couples that just graduated from A school and became FC's.
Now I have heard different stories as to why a lot of sailors got married together. One of them is just for the extra money, the other is they think that they are in love when they are not, and the marriage does not work at all. Shoot one of the stories that I heard was this hospital corpsman couple got married together and lived in an apartment off base. The wife was a lesbian and had her girlfriends coming into the other room while the guy slept in another room. They did that for the extra money.
