Marching was part of what we did everyday. In the first book, we included some of the marching cadences we used. But we left a lot of them out for reasons of space. On this page, you will find a more complete listing of the Jodies we used.
Here we go again!
Same old day again!
Marching down the avenue
Few more days and we'll be through
I won't have to look at you!
You won't have to look at me
So, I'll be glad and so will you!
Turn up the volume.
Just like a rad-i-o.
A high-fi ste-r-eo.
Turn it up in front.
Turn it up In the middle.
Turn it up In the rear.
Early one morning in the pouring rain,
Master Chief said it was time for pain,
grab your ruck and follow me!
It’s time to do some PT.
We jogged nine miles and we ran three,
The Chief was yelling follow me!
Then we walked two miles and ran eight!
Navy PT sure is great!

Up from a sub 50ft below
Up swims a woman with a tag of gold
Backstroke, sidestroke
heading for shore
She hits the beach and
she’s ready for war
240 Bravo, Kabar by her side
These are the tools she lives by
How to kill, search team, hostage snatch
Out of the sub and back to the hatch
Hand-to-hand combat behind the lines
Seal Team 5 is just killing time
They say that in the Navy the coffee’s mighty fine
it looks like muddy water, it tastes like turpentine.
They say that in the Navy the toilets are mighty fine,
you flush them down at 7, they come back up again at 9.
They say that in the Navy the pay is mighty fine,
they give you 100 dollars and take back 99
They say that in the Navy, the meat is mighty fine
Last night we had ten puppies, this morning only nine
They say that in the Navy, the shoes are mighty fine
You ask for size eleven, they give you size nine
They say that in the Navy, the hours are just right
Start early in the morning and work on through the night
They say that in the Navy, the biscuits are mighty fine
One rolled off the table and killed a friend of mine
They say that in the Navy, the pancakes are mighty fine
You can try to chew them, but you’re only wasting time
They say that in the Navy, the beds are mighty fine
But how the heck would I know, I’ve never slept in mine
