Hey guys.
I am USAF vet, and don't won't to intrude on what you have here.

I run a small veterans business resource org, it is a non-profit, and have a question for you. I don't want it to be received as a spam posting.

Our organization is looking to implement a "whistle tune" in our marketing efforts. We are looking for a tune, similar to the whistle tune from "The Bridge on the river Kwai" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzWRlTgEB5Q&feature=related). Getty gas used this in it's marketing back in the 70's.

Anyway, we are looking for something that the troops whistle together, and I am curious about hosting a contest to find the best marching tune, that the marines have to offer.

I would like some input from you all.

Dave, don't be bashful. Tell us a bit more about you in your online profile.

I have a high school buddy that drove Falcons and is now in the Predator UAV program.

Marines don't whistle. DIs told us early on that only bosun mates and queers whistle.
