I had been in Ft. Benning for BCT & AIT for my 11M MOS and had Ranger and SF drill sergeants (and not drill "instructors" as the back cover so proudly -- but erroneously [DIs are an USMC institution, not Army] -- notes) with combat experience lead me and my training platoon on daily PT morning ***AND*** evening! And this CD just can't compare...sorry, I guess I'm being especially picky, but it just doesn't sound anywhere near a whole Sand Hill training battalion of 2,000 recruits sounding off, with the Georgia woods echoing in hearty approval...sounds like just a squad of guys on a treadmill in the recording studio! Besides, this is the PG-version (again, understandable, and I suppose I am indeed just being picky here -- BUT...still...!), ***NOT*** the real-life Army versions of the cadences full of blood-lust and sophomoric sex (killing kids, killing Somalis or Iraqis or Commies, playing with girls and women, etc.)...also, almost every track sounds alike, they're the same cadence, with different words, and a different note or octave here and there! Unfortunately, my local library system -- and I'm in NYC! (Or maybe that's why...LOL) -- doesn't carry these cadence CDs...I wouldn't have spent the $$ if I knew this would be so repetitive and accoustically so-so...yes, even with the "percussion enhancement"! An okay, but really uninspired CD, like something someone knocked off in their parents' garage...almost a slight disservice to the weird charm of these "jody calls"...not really recommended. I was going to get the other titles in their Army marching and running cadences, as some familiar favorites have been spread all over the series, but not now!

This is the real deal. You can hear the other troops singing their cadence in the background, just like on post.

As a former army soldier it helps me so much at the gym....keeps me in step.....

This item is NOT what was advertized. It is of VERY poor workmanship, and quality. A TOTAL waste of my money. I will NEVER buy from Amazon again.
