Good advice, Chris, about the Headquarters or Adjutant Generals (AG) bands as opposed to the bands attached to a Division.

I was a draftee 1959-1961, and was fortunate to play in a small AG band. I always had clean hands and dress uniform. Never saw a weapon. Easy duty. On the some post (Ft.Lewis, WA) there was another band which was attached to the Fourth Infantry Division. Those bandsmen did not have a good time, and were often assigned unpleasant duties not related to music-making.
