There are a ton of great songs about military life, that reference the military in some way; some of the more modern works may have a video associated with it, and some of the older classics continue to define the military experience to this day. From country to rock, ballads & pop, to more traditional flavors--did a particular song inspire, educate, or simply strike a chord with you? Please feel free to share any inspiring military-related music, any music or songs that makes you think of/or reminds you of your military service, as well as any links, photos, descriptions or anything that helps you tell your story. The idea here is to have a fun and thought provoking discussion, which will be fun, informative, and provide a means to tell our stories... and to learn about one another as well as our sister services in the process. Wishing you all the best, I look forward to hearing from you, and interacting with you all in the threads!

Favorite military songs;  While there are a lot of great songs produced by celebrity artist, as an old salt Ordnance Chief (IYAOYAS brothers & sisters) I love my Navy songs (Anchors Away and Navy Hymn).  As an American military fighting man Star Spangled Banner (as an ordnanceman, "the bombs bursting in the air" is my heart felt verse).

 

Going thru Chiefs "training" though I came to learn and love a lot of old sea shanties.  My down the line favorite would have to be "Barnacle Bill the Sailor".  It happens to be on my road traveling music selection.  If you have never heard it I recommend going to You Tube.  Be aware there are many different variances of the song.  The one by Dirty & Sailor remind me of Chief training.

I wouldn’t give a beanTo be a fancy pants Marine, I’d rather be a dog face soldier like I am. I wouldn’t trade my old ODs for all the navies dungarees, for I’m the walking pride of Uncle Sam….. anyone know this one ?? I sing itWhenever there is a Marine and embarrass my wife who thinks I’m silly.
