[edit] Examples

There are now eight calls included in the article. Please think twice about including any more. It would be nice to have an example that is clearly from outside the US, for example. --Tysto 20:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Honestly, the only country that matters is the U.S. Secondly, the U.S. has the strongest military by far.

My name is User:John Mehlberg. I am folklorist interested in talking with anyone who knows any military cadences. Please feel free to email me at CONTACT at MEHLBERG.com or post to my user page.

Since the main article is about military cadences in general. I am going to start typing DIFFERENT cadences and placing them under their own articles. Honey Cadence, Jody Cadence, The S&M Man and Old King Cole will each have their own article. Since there are various tunes (mostly undocument) used for each cadence, I am going to need everyones help with these articles.

I made a section minor detailing the friendly competition between the different divisions of the United States Military. I intend to work on this page in the coming days. Let me know your thoughts on this minor section as of July 7 2006.

--Theadversary 02:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC) For goodness sakes folks...I fixed the C-130 cadence. It is "jump right out and count to four" not "jump right out on the count of four". Every airborne troop in the world knows you count to four AFTER you jump out, not before. If you tried to stand in the door and count to four you'd get a boot in your behind from the jumpmaster. Only non-airborne personnel called that cadence like that and if they did so around me, they got corrected on the spot.

[edit] Rename

• cadence is the more common term in the us, not jody [unsigned user]
• Google suggests that military cadence is vastly more common than jody call or cadence call. --Tysto 09:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
  • No objection from me. I suspect that cadence generally is the most common term, but cadence is a disambiguation page. "Jody call" means this precisely, which is why the page was created here. Smerdis of Tlön 12:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I boldly went ahead and moved the page to military cadence; that makes it unambiguous what the page is about, what the context is, and is not US-specific. Smerdis of Tlön 15:11, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Good; cadence is more familiar to this American; I suspect jody call is quite recent slang. Septentrionalis 00:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
        • I agree - military cadence is more proper H2O 23:03, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cadenza (military)

We also have this article. I suggest that it be merged here. This article also suggests, though, that military cadenzas are "forbidden in many countries." I know even less about this, and wonder what might be intended here. Smerdis of Tlön 06:17, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extended references on Cadences?

Is there any reference of candences used in the Middle Ages or even during the Roman era? Also would like to know how the military cadences are in other countries. I've noticed in the film "The New World", the colonists during a march into battle, were shouting "Saint George!" as their cadence...
