Jody Cadence. A Jody is a guy that dodged the draft during ww2 and Korea, and is irrelevant today, because there is no draft. Jody cadence was not as popular as the movies would let you think, the only reason that I know these few lines is that I learned them from our Field First Sgt at Ft Lewis, Washington. When an infantry company goes to the field in garrison the Co. Executive office takes them, and there is what is known as a Field First Sgt that calls cadence and marched them along. We would both be out beside the company. Jody cadence, due to some of the cadences wording was never given with in earshot of the main post. There were two different tunes and words (although they can be interchangeable) that went along with cadences, "Jody" (sound off) and "Honey" (honey, oh baby mine) Personally, I liked "Honey" cadence, it was more rhythmic, dirtier. Jody was sung mostly in training centers. Fortunately, I was never assigned to a training center. |
