I don't know but I been told!

One thing that this book doesn't mention is the cadences. A cadence is a "song" that the leader of the platoon screams out and the others repeat. This is used in marching, running in formation or in some other D & C event (Drills and Ceremonies). Here are some examples of cadences:

Ain't no use in looking down
Here we go again
Drip drop Drippity drip drop

They actually give you a moral boost and a release of anger when your running for 10k in the freezing cold in Germany ;)
