In the Marines, a "Jody" is a generalized term meaning: any man who stays home while everyone else goes to war. He gets to enjoy [all the things] the Marines are missing, more specifically the Marine's [girlfriend] back at home while the Marine is away on active duty. The reason that they're called Jody specifically dates back to black soldiers in WWII. They took a character from old blues songs named Joe [the Grinder] (or Joe D. Grinder) who would steal the ladies of inmates and soldiers, and clipped his name to Jody.
