the Jody "songs" and "Cadence counts"
The Jody calls of 1944 were probably a lot different from today. When I was attending our summer camp for ROTC cadets, we had a couple of guys who could make up a Jody call on the spot. They had several colorful ones about the Viet Nam war. An officer heard us one day and reported us to our Flight Commander. He reprimanded me as I was the Flight Captain for that week.
Example of other calls was one that poked fun at one of the cadets marching in the flight in front of us---something related to his bad experience on his last date.
