CAMP PENDLETON, CA — Troops running and singing cadence is a familiar scene at bases across the world, but one Marine says the cadence really needs to end.
Corporal Jason Andreesen is assigned to the famed 'Dark Horse' battalion of 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines.
"Every morning I have to wake up, put on my silkies and glowbelt and think 'Well, here we go again'," says Andreesen.
His reluctance for physical training (PT) comes not from exertion, but from the cadences that his squad mates usually choose. One in particular is referred to as the "Vegetable Cadence."
