Ah yes, "Jody calls," we've all heard them, marched to them, run to them, or called them out in a motivated tone; so, what are some of your all time favorites? As this is an inter-service thread, we want to hear from all of you--Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Reserve of each of the above, and the National Guard--so what are your favorite service-specific cadences, and do you have an old standby or trusty go-to cadence? Perhaps it was one that was once popular but somehow fell out of use, or maybe an just an old standard or unique favorite. Please feel free to share any photos, videos, sound files, stories, associated memories, and/or anything else needed to help to tell your story. I'm sure that an old classic or two comes to mind, so "one, two, three, four-or... this is what we're here for-or..." So, pull up a keyboard and let's get this thing started, thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

Napalm sticks to kids. For some reason that one motivates that tar out of an Infantry formation.

None. I am horrible at it. I got called twice in OCS only to be told that I suck and that I can never call cadence again. Which was fine by me. Luckily when I was a scout we didn't call cadence. One of the many reasons why I became an officer is to never call cadence again. To me that is NCO business.<div><br></div><div>Also, if you can call cadence you are not running hard enough.</div>

With all due respect LT, cadence is only called when running together. That means some are running hard enough and some are not being challenged. Those who have an easy time running should be able to sound off and it'll push their heart rate up to sing and run.

Halo, halo, green berets, King of clouds fly away,
This Airborne livings the life for me,
cause nothing in this world is free.
A paratrooper died today,
this is just the price you pay.
This airborne living the life for me
cause nothing in this world is free.
That's one of many, I may not be active duty any more, but these all time great hits live inside of me. :)

Heh!
I'm gonna be the "different" guy here...
I like sea shanties. Sea shanties are the working songs of the Navy, back in the days of wooden ships and iron men.
Sea shanties have different cadences depending on the work for which they were sung/chanted. Hoisting anchor, raising sales, rowing, whatever. There are three basic types of sea shanties:
Short haul shanties, for quick pulls over short periods of time.
Halyard shanties for heavier work requiring more setup time between actions.
Capstan shanties, for repetitive work requiring a sustained rhythm not involving line work.
Here's a capstan shanty called "Randy Dandy Oh"

I watched a great video, “ around the Cape Horn in a four masted barque”. Gives you a great idea of what a sailors life was like n the days of wooden ships andiron men

C130 rollin down the strip
Recon ranger
Gonna take a little trip
Stand up, buckle up,
Shuffle to the door
Jump right out and count to four
And if my chute don't open wide
I have another one by my side
And if that chute don't open round
I'll be the first one on the ground
