#running cadence

[freetheshit-outofyou]

When left unsupervised I do random things, but random things with both purpose and direction. For tonight's musings, I wondered what some of the cadences I learned in the Army* would look like. Can you name them all? *I know the verbiage can change from Service to Service, but I know some of these Transend the Services and are universally understood.

Help, I've fallen down the rabbit hole and I cant get up!

I started thinking about bridge 4 and how important running cadences are for keeping time when doing something like carrying a bridge on your shoulders with 25 other people.

Then I started daydreaming about what kind of cadences they would sing in the Alethi military, and had some very nice fantasies about Kaladin as a new recrute learning how to march.

Then I started wondering what kind of cadence the bridgemen would sing, and now I've written a bridgman cadence and I'm imagining Rock leading it.

(bridgemen cadence and a link to an example cadence under the cut.)

I run this bridge/

On my shoulders/

I will not grow/

Much older/

I face my death/

Every time I run/

I will not rest/

Till the job is done/

I run for miles/

My feet are worn/

My brothers died/

Leaving me to mourn/

One two three four/

All run in time/

If we get there first/

We might not die/

(Here is an example of what a cadence is. Normally they dont have music, but this was just to epic not to share. The bridgemen cadence can be sung to the tune of this one)

Singalong Sunday: How’d You Earn Your Pay?

This is another running cadence, an upbeat one I always found catchy. I actually called it to myself while I was running out of formation. The final line, “I made my living as -” can essentially be re-purposed as anything, so as an example I’ve put three different lines. You can make them all the same or all different; it doesn’t matter.  As is the case with many cadences, one of the verses, specifically the third one, is almost certainly objectionable because it refers to killing Iraqis. The verse I’ve provided is a bit less brutal than the ones I was taught. How’d You Earn Your Pay? Oh, when I get to heaven St. Peter’s gonna say-ay: “How’d you earn your living, boy? How’d you earn your pay-ay?” And I’ll reply, with a fist full of anger, “I made my living as an Airborne Ranger!” Oh, when I get to hell The Devil’s gonna say-ay: “How’d you earn your living, boy? How’d you earn your pay-ay?” And I’ll reply, with a boot to his chest, “I made my living in the leaning rest!” * Oh, when I get to Iraq Iraqi’s gonna say-ay: “How’d you earn your living, boy? How’d you earn your pay-ay?” And I’ll reply, with a shot to his head, “I made my living putting you to bed!” *The front leaning rest position is the formal name for the push up position, the implication being that he earned his living by doing push ups
