I once was a boy
Then I was told my real name
You are all maggots

Buzz cuts crown our heads
We are shorn sheep in a flock
Lost in a big herd

Inspections are not fun
Perfection is never reached
They always find faults

Marching builds team work
The hard asphalt hurts your feet
Keep in step and sing

You made it through
A lean,mean fighting machine
The rights of passage

Well done, Paladin.

~Time has cast a spell on you,
So that you won't ever forget me.~

oh yes, military life is such a pain but you can't help feeling that it is one of your best experiences in life
