One day somebody asked me, what would you do for a living if money wasn't an issue? I answered right away, I WOULD BE A DRUMMER! Well, I already tried that before joining and, yes, money was an issue. Is been more than year and a half since the last time I played with a band. Although I play almost everyday alone, it would be nice to play with a group again.

If there's any 42R, S or C here, or anybody that have contact or know one, how is it to be a musician for the Army? How are the promotion opportunities? How is the experience? Is it a good MOS to reclass to?

I'm an Army Drummer, 42R9M and working towards getting the Horn ASI (9D). Do it. See if you can OJT with the band at your base. Drummer is the hardest audition of them all because you need to be able to play marching band style, classical music AND drum set. email me directly
