As an avid supporter of the U.S. Marines and soon-to-be Marine myself, I would rate this up there among the greatest musical purchases I've made. The cadences on this compilation are highly motivating and are good for taking to the gym. There's nothing like singing cadence out loud to make people think you've gone crazy. I thoroughly enjoy this every time I go for a run. From the "1,2,3,4 Marine Corps" with its progressive rhythm to the intermittent delayed cadence calls, it keeps the flow going. There are lighthearted moments in the "Baby Marine" cadence as well as others. If you want to know how the Marines keep motivated on the run, I would suggest buying this. Picking up some tips from the words may work when/if you are called to make up a rhyme on the run. I found myself singing these out loud in the gym, in the car and whenever I need a little therapy. Sure you may get some weird looks but it sure helps to relieve some stress. This compilation rocks, in a word: OOHRAH!!!

I have volumes 1-3 plus the women's volume and this is my favorite. I memorize the tracks then call them out for my platoon on PT days and they love them. Perfect for any devil dog (or anyone looking for motivation).

This CD fires me up when I'm running. If you want a change in your workout music, I recommend this CD. You might try (if you have the ability to make your own CD's or if you have an MP3 player) to insert some of these cadences between your other songs.
Overall a fun, motivating CD.
Hoorah!

When I went to Marine OCS, I didn't know any cadence outside of what I'd seen in Full Metal Jacket. Anyone who is considering joining the Marines, enlisted or officer, should brush up on some of these so that you'll be prepared to jump out and wow your drill instructors.

Nice CD, I'll use it when I'm running for that extra motivation I need. It's been a while since I ran with the USMC!

I just adore the Marine cadence cd's they have a lot of ditties to keep you going so that you can increase your run time. Or just plain have fun running about. I recomend this and all other cadence cd's to anyone who wants to get in or stay in shape. Or even to hear some quick and amusing little songs to keep them goiong through their days.

Running to the cadence of the US Marines will help in keeping a constant rhythem while running for a long time, not to mention that the motivation is non-stop.

Once I started running I quickly got into the tempo the Marines were running to. I stayed motivated and wanted to keep running because I truly felt like I was there but I eventualy hit my limit. With this cd and the rest of them (I got the 3vol. deal) I should be achieving my goal and beyond. URAH!!!!

I was in Navy ROTC (the real kind, not the high school jrotc), and we would go out on pack runs and run with someone yelling cadence. Not very many people knew a variety of cadences to call, so I decided to get a recording of some cadences. Thats how I happened upon this CD. The first few minutes of it are amazing, not that the rest sucks, its just the first few minutes are my favorites. One problem I had that this cd helped with was that when running on a treadmill, I would tend to quit prematurely simply because I was bored. When you run in one spot, exerting all that energy and not moving yourself anywhere, time can drag on so slowly, so I'd quit before I was truly tired. This cd helps the time pass by, your mind is engaged in listening to the new cadences and running your steps in rhythm to the marines steps, which acts as a beat to run by. One more big thing, this CD is VERY MOTIVATIONAL!!! In fact, after listening to it, I "almost" considered joining the USMC. Yes, its THAT motivating, so if you want to push yourself that extra mile, or that extra few minutes, this CD will get you through it. I highly recommend this to any runner of any kind, beginner, marathoner, whatever. I plan on getting the other volumes as well. Hope this review helps you.

I love running to the Marine Corps Cadence CDs. Volumes 1 and 2 are very good. Volume 3 sounds studio produced and more choral. When running vols 1 & 2 are better synched for continuous running. The transitions on vol 3 feel out of synch to me. Others don't seem to agree and I still run to this CD; I'd buy 1 and 2 first if you don't have them.
