A bit of additional info to my post further down but relevant here. If one is to attempt a career as a regular Army bandsman, he could expect to perform several stateside tours in an AG, division, and if qualified, a MACOM band. He would also be expected to complete two overseas tours; one long, one short. The short could be as short as a year in Korea or two in other OCONUS bands. If he were married the long tour is a minimum of three. There are many folks who have enjoyed being overseas and try and stay as long as possible. Other try to stay stateside as much as possible. It all depends what the Army needs and what the soldier wishes to volunteer. Way too much babble. I'll shut up now.
