I want to know who Jody is!

[Xenalyte]

I don't get it.

[RaceBannon]

We Marines had a Jody!

In fact, when we learned Pugil Stick fighting, we learned the JODY KILLER technique!!

Fortunately, I never had to use it.


I always thought it was a 60's thing, that name Jody is so feminine, I cannot imagine someone naming their child Jody earlier than the 50's.

..."Nobody seems to know for sure when the Duckworth Chant became known as the jody call. In fact, nobody's even sure who "Jody" is. In the many cadence calls that disparage Jody's name, Jody is the guy back home, trying to court a soldier's wife or girlfriend or sister. And as more women joined the ranks, Jody also came to represent the woman out to seduce a husband or boyfriend.

In either case, Jody is a civilian enjoying the comforts of home while the soldier sweats it out in the field or overseas. And soldiers love to console themselves by singing about Jody: "Ain't no use in going home; Jody's got your girl and gone. Ain't no use in feeling blue; Jody's got your sister, too. Ain't no use in lookin' back; Jody's got your Cadillac..."

Take your choice of Jodys....

[SAMWolf]

Ain't no use in going back,
Jody's got your Cadillac,

Ain't no use in going home,
Jody's got your girl and gone

[mystery-ak]

Thank you very much..I don't need any help spending my hubby's allotment checks...LOL

[BlueNgold]

Ahem ...
The Navy, with deference to our esteemed USMC D.I.s, calls them 'jodies' as well. If they got it from the Army, then props to y'all as well.

And as I recall, more often than not, it was the AF guys hanging out at our clubs as the ships deployed, who started moving in on the 'WestPAc Widows' as soon as the stern lights began to fade on the horizon ...

[bethelgrad]

That's hilarious! I didn't know it was an Army thing. We talked about 'ol Jody all the time in the Marines. Ha! Good ol Jody's taking out Suzie while we're in the field.

[cynicom]

The DI said Jody was home when I LEFT....I hated Jody.

[Little Bill]

Ping, Where James Jones when you need him?

[Jimmy Valentine]

"Ain't no use in looking down, Ain't no discharge on the ground" "Ain't no use in lookin' back, Jody's got your Cadillac."

Good old song to march to.

Hi Bill,

I'm Jody! Pleased to meet you.

The pleasure is all mine. : )

[ElectricStrawberry]

I see you got home and was doing some thinking...amazing how a name can do that.

"Jodie this 'n Jodie that...Jodie is a real cool cat"

Sumbitch Jodie back there stealing the girlfriends/wives/sisters of those out there layin' it on the line (except them REMF Marines like Race), driving our Caddy's, drinking our beer.

Sucka should be castrated.
