OK, so we've identified three basic melodies so far, I think:
Sound Off
The Jody (Duckworth) Chant
-and-
Piano concerto No. 5, "Emperor," by Ludwig Van Beethoven (Airborne Ranger)

I have to say, Jerry, that I never once thought of Beethoven in Baxic Training, but I guess I do see a relationship between "Airborne Ranger" and the beginning of the "Emperor" Concerto, the part that goes,
DAH deedle-dee-deDAH DAH DAH DAH!!-or-
I wanna be an AIR - BORNE RAN - GER!!!!

If you sang it with the exact Beethoven melody, maybe you could get a psychiatric discharge.....
