Hi John,

I'd be interested to know what you (or the Army) mean(s) by "full maintenance"
on a clarinet. Also, is it detailed in one of those ubiquitous Army manuals?
Sounds like you guys might be good candidates for the Norbeck pads described in
the Ferree's Tools Catalog. (made of cork and space age material -- the ad
claims you can fully submerge a clarinet for a period of time and, after you
take it out of the water, it will still play.)

As for personally signing for equipment, I always thought it would be rather
awesome to be personally responsible for a tank (though there are days I
wouldn't mind having one for the traffic around here ;^) .)

Best regards,
Jack Kissinger
