Video of Marching at Fort Sam Houston 6_14&15_12

All,

This is some video's I did while visiting Fort Sam on June 14th & 15th 2012.   I will post all the video's I have just in case you might see your sailor.  Yes, I know some of them suck (the video's, not the sailors ~ha).....

One thing I want you to ask you sailor is one of the cadence was really funny to me.  I think I got it right.  After the group says "WHO SAID THAT?"  What is the response?  

Leader - ♪ They say that in the Navy the chow was mighty fine.  

All - Last night we had ten puppies this morning only nine. ♪

Leader - ♪ They say that in the Navy the toilets are mighty fine, 

All - You flush them down at seven they come back up again at nine.. ♪

Leader - ♪ They say that in the Navy the pay is mighty fine,

All - they give you 100 dollars and take back 99 ♪

Leader - ♪ They say that the Navy women are looking Mighty fine" ♪

All sailors - ♪ WHO SAID THAT? ♪

Leader - ♪ That was until we passed the Air Force women line ♪   ????  (Not sure if they said this....it sounded like it)

Leader - ♪ They say that in the Navy the training's mighty fine.  Last night there were ten of us, 
now there's only nine. ♪

 

Leader - ♪ They say that in the Navy, the shoes are mighty fine. 

All - You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine. ♪

Leader - ♪ They say that in the Navy, the pancakes are mighty fine. You can try to chew them, but you're only wasting time. ♪

Leader - ♪ They say that in the Navy, the bed's are mighty fine.  

All - But how the heck would I know, I've never slept in mine ♪

Thanks for posting these Craig, they're great!!!  According to my son, the sailors get quite a bit of praise from their AF & Army classmates for their cadences!!   He also mentioned the AF has a really cool march which includes a foot drag and stomp - be sure to ask your daughter about that!
