Tony,
I have actually considered all the forces, marines (boot camp is too
hard for me), Navy (musical skill level too high for me, most have a degree
is something music), Air Force (ok, but not as much money in thier G.I.
Bill), Army ( I grew up in an army fam. and they give you up to 50,000 after
5 years in the service, and I want to be a paratrooper also). So the army is
my best bet right now. and they have bands in Germany, and I want to go
overseas and travel a lot. But thanks for the input, I am always looking for
other peoples P.O.V.'s on the Military bands.
