I left the thread as a reminder, don't re-write Barry's song. IMO Dolly Parton's version of the song is extremely disrespectful.

Then I won't send the XXX version we enjoyed so much that was sung by Tony Aguilar in the piano bar of the Balcony club in Bangkok!

It is a step past disrespectful when the song has the "Marines lead the way".

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!  I just became an ex-Dolly fan. Maggie must be rolling over in her grave and sharpening her knife in preparation for meeting Dolly again in the future; that's a fight I'd like to witness...and I think the LTC would win that one.

I, too, was late to the party. My question may be super secret, but I gotta ask:

SFOD-D takes applicants from all walks of Army life. Whether they make it through the selection process or not is another story entirely.
