“No matter how tired they became, once someone in the ranks began a Jody call, the whole platoon would pick it up and everyone seemed to march a little taller.”

“To march, to be in formation with one's fellows, moving together with such precision that every footstep hits the ground at precisely the same time, and listening to the sing-song of a jody call or the steady cadence of a marching band is indeed pleasurable.”

“Perhaps you would like to help us pick up the pace with a jody call?”
