(Lyrics & History)

In the U.S. Military, rhythmic chants called "Jodies" are essential for maintaining troop coordination, lifting spirits, and fostering camaraderie during marches and runs. These chants are deeply rooted in the military's longstanding traditions.

240-Bravo

Locked, cocked, and loaded

Bullets are flyin’

People are dyin’

 

There are the weapons that I go to war with!

These the weapons that I like to kill with!

 

M-249

Locked, cocked, and loaded

Ammo depleted

Never defeated!

 

There are the weapons that I go to war with!

These are the weapons that I like to kill with!
