At 19-years-old, after graduating from boot camp in San Diego as the Platoon Honorman, I was assigned a Primary Military Occupational Skill (PMOS) of 5541 which means Trumpet Player. I had orders to report to the Quantico-base United States Marine Corps Band. For the next two years when I wasn't getting court-martialed for smoking pot, I was playing gigs that ranged from marching in parades up and down the east coast; air shows at the Quantico base that debuted the new Harrier jet; graduation ceremonies for new agents at the nearby FBI Academy in Quantico; the Miss Wisconsin pageant; graduation at the University of Virginia (the speakers were Lady Bird Johnson and Gary Trudeau); an officer's reunion at the New York Hilton ("Hi, I'm Bob Hope. Anybody wanna shake my hand?"); to officer's messes with some wild speakers ("Let me tell you boys about the time we ran down Baby Face Nelson."); to playing taps on a funeral detail at Arlington National Cemetery. Before you ask me to start telling any of those stories, be careful what you wish for. It will be a long night.
