Here is a topic that I have not seen here: Army songs. I remember when I joined in 68 we learned all the old army songs (north atlantic sqn, glenwarple highlanders, Kiss me Good Night Sgt Maj etc) on BMT. It was a big thing on the bus/truck/march in Ont units. I transferred to Western area and the singing was lacking..my unit had some guys who were excellent at writing lyrics to popular radio tnes (Army related or just plain dirty, lol) but they never sang the old traditional WW2 songs that TO units seemed to do.
When I went ROUTP/RESO, there was a mix: Highlanders and TO units seemed to sing the “classics” and the Francophones only STOPPED singing to eat and sleep.
Anyone else have any stories on singing in the military these days? I’m still in but don’t see like I used to.
