The Best Damn Cadence Calling Contest in the West Members of the West Coast Drill Instructor Association gathered at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and competed for the best cadence. Which is your favorite? (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Kailey Maraglia) | U.S. Marine Corps

Marine Corps running cadence isn’t just about the run—it’s about motivation, pushing past your limits, embracing the pain, and finding strength in the unity of your platoon. It’s the voice of your Drill Instructor or Leader driving you forward, motivating you to dig deeper and never quit. When you feel like stopping, remember: pain is temporary, but pride is forever. Let’s go! 💪🔥 P.S. Yes it is R. Lee Ermey’s voiceover! Salute 🫡 to the 🐐 himself #MarineCorps #Cadence #Motivation #PushThrough
