Our military audio CDs are
official US Military songs.
Military CDs are authentic
documentaries of the action
they represent. The military
CDs offer the exact songs sung
by drill instructors,
recruits, military personnel,
and ranked officers. In the
armed services, a military
cadence or cadence call is a
traditional call-and-response
work song, sung by military
personnel while running or
marching. In the United
States, these cadences are
sometimes called jody calls or
jodies, after Jody, a
recurring character who
figures in some traditional
cadences. Requiring no
instruments to play, they are
counterparts in oral military
folklore of the military
march. As a sort of work song,
military cadences take their
rhythms from the work being
done. Many cadences have a
call and response structure of
which one soldier initiates a
line, and the remaining
soldiers complete it, thus
instilling teamwork and
camaraderie for completion.
The cadence calls move to the
beat and rhythm of the normal
speed (quick time) march or
running-in-formation (double
time) march. This serves the
purpose of keeping soldiers
dressed, moving in step as a
unit and in formation, while
maintaining the correct beat
or cadence. The military CDs
will help you run faster,
farther, and easier. They are
also a great listen just for
leisure.
