Military drill sergeants are known to be tough.

They keep their cadets in line and arenโ€™t afraid to get vocal if need be.

One of the most common drills that a soldier will take part in is marching.

Weโ€™ve probably all seen movies where this takes place.

Thereโ€™s a long line of soldiers marching along to the cadence of their drill sergeant.

Normally, youโ€™d expect to hear pretty basic commandsโ€“like a โ€œleft, right, leftโ€ chant or something.

However, one drill sergeant has decided to mix his marching cadence up a bit.

Now, if youโ€™ve ever been to summer camp or sung goofy songs as a kid, you may have come across the song โ€œBaby Shark.โ€

The song is simple enough.

Essentially, you start by singing โ€œBaby Sharkโ€ and then follow it with โ€œDo-do-do-do-da-do.โ€

You repeat this three times before moving on to the next member of the shark family.

Usually, people say โ€œMama Sharkโ€ next and then follow it with another round of โ€œDo-do-do-do-da-doโ€

You can keep this song going for as long as youโ€™d likeโ€“or until you run out of new types of shark relatives to say.

For whatever reason, this drill sergeant decided that he wanted to use this song as his marching cadence for all of his cadets.

Maybe the guy has young kids, or maybe he just likes the song.

Either way, he gets a bunch of soldiers to sing along with him as he marches them around a courtyard.

In the video below, you can watch as maybe one hundred cadets march shoulder to shoulder with their sergeant on the side of the train.

Heโ€™s not shy about his job, either.

The video comes in with the sergeant finishing up the last of his โ€œleft, right, leftโ€ commands.

He yells out his final โ€œLeft!โ€ and then moves right into yelling โ€œBaby Shark.โ€

The marching cadets respond with โ€œDo-do-do-do-da-do.โ€

If youโ€™ve ever heard this song sung before, then I guarantee that this is the most aggressive form of it that youโ€™ve ever heard.

But honestly, itโ€™s pretty awesome.

The sergeant continues his marching cadence with a few more โ€œbaby sharkโ€™sโ€ before moving into โ€œMommy Shark!โ€

The cadets all respond as before, being sure to stay in line, keep the beat, and continue marching.

The sergeant seems as though heโ€™s going to march these soldiers for a while, so he has to come up with plenty of shark relatives to say.

However, this still isnโ€™t enough marching for the cadets so he keeps the song going after grandpa shark with a yell of โ€œLetโ€™s Go Hunt!โ€

The cadets continue on with heir normal โ€œdo-do-do-do-da-doโ€ response.

The sergeant continues on with a few more fill-ins including, โ€œRun Away!,โ€ โ€œSafe At Last!,โ€ and โ€œItโ€™s The End!โ€

At this point, the video stops but we really canโ€™t be sure how much longer this drill sergeant kept his cadets marching for.

But if you had to march, I think doing it to โ€œBaby Sharkโ€ is much more fun than a basic and boring chant.

Check out the video below to watch this drill sergeant yell a childrenโ€™s song with his cadets and be sure to share it with a friend!
