Conversation at the on-post coffee shop:
Teenage Barista, "I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I know I don't want to be in the Army band because they have such tough jobs. I had to play my clarinet for 4 hours one time and I thought I would die."
Army Dude, "Yeah, you think being in the band is easy. But no, they got that musicianship and then they have to do all the Army stuff too. It's really hard work."
