An Army vehicle, full summary of the vehicle available here Stryker.
What's cool about this lil fella is that it is one of the only vehicles in Army history named after a soldier, not a famous general. The Stryker is named in honor of Spc. Robert F. Stryker, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War, and Pfc. Stuart S. Stryker, who received the award for his actions during World War II. Both men were killed in action.

Condescending Army term for telling someone to do push-ups.
Its usually used by a higher-ranked person toward a lower-ranked person for punishment. Wouldn't usually be used during PT, you'd tell someone "beat your face" if you caught them red-handed doing something stupid.
Rarely used by officers when dropping a sergeant for push-ups because of its condescending tone, its almost exclusively directed toward lower ranked enlisted when they fuck up.

Term in the military for the guy at home fucking your wife / girlfriend while you're deployed. Can also mean a broke dick soldier unfit for deployment who stays back and fucks your wife while you're away.
Because Jody is referred to in marching & running candences it's also slang for a candence, which are sometimes called "Jody Calls". That use would be used in plural like "sing us some jodys". The point of Jody in cadences is to compare how hard the soldier's life is vs. how easy Jody has it.
Sometimes also mispelled Jodie.

Also known as "scrolling the road". A term in the US Army Infantry for the techinique to cross a linear danger area (Army code for a road).
It originated in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Each Army unit wears the unit patch on the left shoulder. The 75th's patch is a scroll, and the act of "scroll to the road" involves keeping the shoulder with your scroll toward the road. As long as soldiers on both sides of the road do this someone will always be watching in both directions a vehicle could approach from.
So for an infantry unit a road, unless in wide open terrain, is a substantial threat. Enemy can advance on you quickly, and while half the unit is on the near side & half on the far side you run a much greater risk of having your forces cut in 2.
When the order to scroll the road is given Man #1 in the formation comes up to the road & takes a knee keeping his weapon oriented down the road. Man #2 will kneel beside him & tap him on the shoulder as an indication he now has the road covered. Man #1 crosses the road and takes a knee directing his fire the opposite direction up the road as Man #2. This continues until everyone is across.
If both men keep their scrolls to the road no one can ever get confused as to which side supposed to be looking up/down which direction of the road.

Army term referring to the commander of a unit. Usually used for a colonel or general, but can be used for a captain (who would be a company commander). Since most company commanders are still in their 20's in the Army though this isn't a common use.
Its usually a term of respect, but many times just used as to refer to the commander without any judgement of respect or disrespect. NOTE = this term is never used in the presence of the old man / commander.
