about
This song was written and performed by one of my closest military/veteran friends, Cole Carmichael. “End of the rainbow” is a song that gives a snapshot at the fast, furious and confusing process beginning at the recruiting centre and ending upon arriving at “DP-1” training (Training specific to becoming an infantry soldier).
lyrics
Well I went to the recruiting centre dropped to my knees
Then I joined the military and I signed up infantry
And they said There’s a light at the end of the rainbow
And they said young man if you like comping blues
You’ll be in basic in a week straight to Saint Jean Richelieu
And they said there’s a light at the end of the rainbow.
And I graduated basic and I thought I was the shit
But then I went to DP - 1 and then it hit me like a brick
And I said “where the fuck is this light at the end of the rainbow”?
