I still shudder when I hear it.

I got article 15'd for this one.. picture 60 men crumping down the battalion street at 5:45am doing this little ditty:

CALL: I don't wanna be an airborne ranger..

COMEBACK: same

CALL: **** the army and screw the danger.

COMEBACK: same

CALL: Re UP?

"HELL NO!"

CALL: hook UP?

"HELL NO!"

CALL: I don't wanna be an airborne ranger..

etc.

Seems the battalion commander, a bird; had the majors butt, who had the captains butt, and he in turn chewed my butt and 15'd me for it. Top wasn't pleased looking either when I came outta the captains office; but I found out later that the cadre were laughing their butts off over it and Top made sure the extra duty was a cherry pick guard mount for 14 days.

We had one guy who was the worst marcher you ever saw. I still remember his name, "Terry". We used to put him on Dorm Guard when we had to march in public. The brothers were the best. After all, it aint much different from dancing.

What sucks is I do this for a living and we had a new policy enacted:  No cadences or jodies that use inappropriate language or bash any sister services.

That pretty much depleted my repitar. (SP)

My MTI didn't do jody's.  The only time we did is when our section supervisor, a LARGE phillipino Master Sargent, and we weren't sure what to do at first when started belting out jodies about road-guards.

ROFL .. so 'they' limit enthusiasm for those going into the *armed* forces of our nation because it may offend someone.
How thin-skinned *is* that?
Heaven forbid someone should  ..*shoot* ..in their general direction!!
Why .. I would bet if they had been at Da Nang during Tet (among many other places and times)
..they would have *complained* .. a LOT!!

-rolls eyes-

Whatever happened to 'SUCK IT UP and GET OUT OF MY OFFICE DOGMEAT!'
(heard that blast thru the barracks more than once during basic)

Yep, pretty sad.  I don't know if its the same in the other branches but, the USAF is definitely trying to keep some of the moms happy.  In private things were far from PC but, in public, things were toned down quite a bit.  None of the trainees seemed to mind it, most thought it was BS too.

We had a Company Commander back in Germany,(1983, 1984), He couldn't call cadence worth a damn. It became insidious, then he would yell "grenade", and we all had to put bellybutton to the blast. There were a few seargents in the battalion that knew cadence. Vietnam vets, and wearing drill Sgt insignia. No longer drill Sgt's of course. None the less it was a fantastic experience to be in the TOW Platoon Combat Support Company 2nd Battallion 22nd Infantry 4th Brigade 4th Division United States Regular Army infantry.
