Everyone is partially right so no sense to argue. Now Boys.. the true definetion of a Jody is: In the United States, these songs get the name jody call or jody (also jodie) from a recurring character, a civilian named "Jody" whose luxurious lifestyle is contrasted with military deprivations in a number of traditional calls. Jody is the person who stays at home, drives the soldier's car, and gets the soldier's sweetheart (often called "Susie") while the soldier is in boot camp or in country. (Serendipitously, the name works just as well for female soldiers.) Common themes in jodies include: Homesickness. Quotidian complaints about military life. Boasts (of one's own unit) and insults (of one's competitor, which may be another unit, another service branch, or the enemy.) Humorous and topical references. Pretty much any Cadence can be a jody. Not so much ones done in boot but ones of the Politically Incorrect Nature. Sang quite a few of them in the Navy as well as hear them all the damn time here on base.
