I had gotten Nige a cd of Marine Corps cadences to listen to, and he has run to a lot of cadences when he went downtown for PT for the delayed entry program... When I was laying in bed with him the night before he left he sang this one to me.
"Mama, Mama can't you see,
what this Corps has done for me?
Put me in a barber's chair,
'Snip, Snap' and I had no hair.
And if I die in a combat zone,
box me up and ship me home.
Put me in a set of dress blues,
Comb my hair and shine my shoes.
Pin my medals upon my chest,
Tell my mama I did my best.
Mama, Mama don't you cry,
Marine Corps motto is 'Do or Die.'"
It's one of my favorites.
It makes me all misty eyed.
And on the cd I got him the DI has this voice that's kind of hoarse from years of yelling. I like it. I dunno.
He's on day two, or day one really.
And he's still up being processed.
