In 1957-1958 I was drum major of the Signal Corps band (349th, I think) and the band was our only duty assignment. Every enlisted GI had a "Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) then, and mine was 023.1, which I believe was "player, horn, French." A few years earlier, my oldest brother was a horn player in an Air Force band at Mitchell Field, Long Island NY, and he had no other duty assignment. After that my next older brother was a percussionist in an Air Force Band in California (March Field?) and he had no other duty assignment.
Can things have changed so much in a mere 50+ years? Ralph Mazza _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
