Many people may come from a background that did not have a lot of structure or a team aspect so they are less able to complete tasks when working with others. A cadence is essentially something that can be said or yelled by members of a group in order for them to keep the unity with each other.
Cadences have been used for years starting at the inception of the well known sharp military marching. The jody that this term is referring to is a person who stays home while everyone else goes off to war.
The military has had many different terms and traditions that are implemented and used over many years in order to strengthen camaraderie and morale while still allowing for the presence of strong military bearing. Some things you may hear when around military personnel is the term Hooah which differs from branch to branch.
The term can be heard in good or bad situations as well as formal or informal settings. No matter the branch, the term is generally used in high morale, high spirit situations as a coin of acknowledgment to a speaker or leader.
Our military training instructor would require us to yell the term after the end of each set in a workout in order to add fun to the strenuous physical activity.
It was almost as if the louder you say it, the more you respected your instructor was and the more spirit you had in conducting the exercise. I will definitely say no matter how tired you were throughout the workout, you definitely still had enough wind in you to yell it as loud as you could.

The culture of each branch uses a different slang to the point where when you speak to others from different branches you have to go in depth about what you are talking about even though you are both in the Armed Forces and work together all the time. As you can see, in most cases the term no matter the flavor or slang that is put on it either is a term of acknowledgment or spirit and morale.
In light of spirit in morale just in case there is confusion. I will give a short example. When a friend of yours or even someone from your unit is called many different things are chanted in happiness for someone achieving something in their careers.
It is most commonly used to respond to a verbal greeting or as an expression of enthusiasm. Female Marines are called Wookies because they are supposedly not allowed to shave their body hair during recruit training, leaving them hairy like wookies.
The Marines have been slow compared with other branches of the military to fully integrate women. Only about 9 percent of the , Marines in the Corps are women. On the enlisted side, at least female Marines have moved into combat jobs previously closed to women, according to data obtained by Military.
The combat engineer MOS has seen the most women joining the field, with 58 as of February. There are just nine qualified female snipers in the U.
