Meet Ups  

Cadence Calling.

A source of pride, inspiration, encouragement, teamwork and fun could always be found in cadence calling.  Companies and platoons seemed to always be in an informal competition for the best calling.  Here are a few of tunes that kept 22 Hotel going.

Hey Jude, don't make it bad
Take a sad song and make it better

Then you can start to make it better.

Then you can start to make it better, better, better
