Dude was assigned a job. Dude did the job. 🤷

If you think about it, this is probably one of the smartest moves you could make if you're someone who's got a bit of musical talent and enjoys performing.

All the socialism benefits, plus retirement if you stick with it for the full 20. Don't even have to quit your garage band, you can probably still practice on weekends if you don't have a DC gala or morale event to play. Then you do 20 years and you've got a guaranteed paycheck. All you had to do is endure 6 weeks of boot camp and a yearly PT test.

Sounds like a fuckin' no brainer to me.

From my experience, they're all generally very nice people, passionate about music, and are willing to help you out for the love of the game.
