Hello,

I'm in that Navy Band in Annapolis of which you speak. We are permanent duty musicians, yet we are also serving in active duty, so technically, we can be called for any duty required by the military. By the way, John Parrette and I have essentially the same job, just in a different colored suit (hello, John), although the Army does have better educational benefits than the Navy. As far as combat duty is concerned, I like to tell everyone that if I (a musician in a premier US military band) is called to combat duty, while it is possible, then we (the citizens of the US) are in very deep trouble. Not because we couldn't or wouldn't fight well, but I guarantee that the military would draft young people to fight before resorting to the somewhat "over-the-hill" musicians in the bands.
