GUEST,H.B. Carlisle Military Jodies? (142* d) RE: Military Jodies? 26 Oct 04

I was in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and remember some Jodies
not used for marching....for instance, the troops are out for reveille
formation....

"Report!"
"Sir! One man in the latrine, two in the canteen, and one a them
guys I ain't NEVER seen!'

At one time the Commanding General at Fort Chaffee outlawed Jodie marching, because of obscene lyrics.

In the 1960s the US Air Force had a Jodie Drill Team. I went to see them. They had a big black sergeant who sang out the commands in great Rhythm and Blues style.....

.....Hey, everybody! Tell me how do you do?
    Hey everybody! Tell me how do you do?
    Well, the Jodie Drill Team is here to welcome you!

I remember they put on a great show. The footwork was something to see. Only the Air Force had such a unit.
