OK, I just posted a sample of cadence calling in the following thread:
http://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postst7141_Rare-View.aspx

Cadence calling is a military tradition enjoyed all over the world, in nearly every language known to man. (I've called cadence in Yiddish once or twice, but that's TOTALLY off topic, lol.) When a unit is moving, either at a march (quick time) or at a run (double time), the person in charge of the unit often calls cadence, to keep all members of the unit in step, to pass the time, sometimes to relay information, and generally to promote esprit de corps.

In the U.S. military, in the last few decades, it has been discouraged to use what has come to be known as Jodie Calls. These are the cadence that have "blue" material, or "swear" words.

I'm sure there must be a number of Lushies out there who have prior or ongoing military experience. Have you served your country in this way? Were you an Army Brat growing up? I want to hear some oldies, some raunchy ones, some inspiring ones, some from around the world. (If you think it's helpful, please note if it's for quick time or double time.)

Let's hear some of the more colorful cadences from some of you. And let everybody enjoy one of the things that made, at least part of, the Profession of Arms an enjoyable experience.

I always thought cadence calls would have made my drill skills better than they were, however, we never used them. Sure did look like more fun than focusing on the crunch of heel on gravel and the occasional shout of 'Left! Left!' by the Drill Sargeant.

Ah well, another curse of being a Brit I guess.

When a big alligator jumped in my way
I said Hey alligator, you better move
Before I make a flak jacket outta you

Smooth, smooth alligator hide, gonna make a flak jacket just the right size...

My mama can't you see!
What this Corps has done for me!
Put me in a barber chair;
Snip snap and I had no hair!
And if I die in a combat zone;
Box me up and ship me home!
Put me in a set of dress blues,
comb my hair and shine my shoes!
Pin my medals upon my chest!
Tell Chesty Puller I did my best!
My mama don't you cry;
Marine Corps motto is do or die!



Beat me whip me I need love,
Hit me with that leather glove.
Run those high heels down my back,
kick me in my scrotum sack.
whips and chains now that's my thing,
do it again and make it sting.

Doorgunner looking for some movement below
black pajamas in the tall grass
doorgunners out just kicking ass

Put a team on a hot LZ
Apache cover just above the trees
taking fire from the forrest floor
Geta A10 on the go

Mark the target with the yellow smoke
the man who threw it had his tab of gold
A10 pilot flying high
gonna drop napalm from the sky

Why Nicki! You're looking fab these days.
Want me to show you where and how to use that finger?

Well, I was gonna say wrong Jodie, but hey, it fits the spirit I think, LOL
