Hi Shawn and thanks so much! Yes, the AF Band was amazing. We had a few guys who got tired of just playing music every day and they preferred golf, but it was a blast being around full time musicians all the time. Hated to call it quits as that was a wonderful way of life. I have recommended the AF band program to several of my younger counterparts and relatives. Anyone who wants to immerse themselves in music can't go wrong in joining up w/a military music program. The other services have it a little tougher - I know the Army had more bands but the musicians also carry rifles. In the AF, it's just music every day.
Have a great and safe holiday Shawn!
Randy
