There must've been certain genre's that really amped you up. So much so it brings you back to a time when you were getting prepared for "war." Maybe there's certain tunes that helped you get shit done. Get through personal things. Even something about the music that makes you think of your buddies. I know for me I really Love metal. Sounds cliché but that really does it for me. That and country music. Anywhere from singing along and going to shows with friends I served with, or just meeting Vets in the mosh-pit during an epic show! I distinctly remember my LPO showing combat videos charged with a soundtrack of adrenaline from the war in Iraq in order to motivate his new crew for deployment. But also there's some catchy classic ones that were pretty funny to pass-on and get stuck in people's heads during a long underway. There even came a time when I was playing guitar a lot and sort-of forming a band of other service members that would get together and play in our barracks or someone's garage. It can be ridiculous or insane, the associations music produces, but it helps keeps me sane! Hope it does for you. Love to hear your taste and experience.

Classical. My NCO room mate was into classical & opened the door. Initially, I told him that I did not have any experience with Classical. He asked if I had grown up with Loony Toons cartoons. I said yes & he pointed out that I already had the basics. He was right.
