A friend of mine's wife (a floutist with the Philadelphia Symphony) auditioned for the Marine Band (the ones that play Hail to the Chief for the pres all the time). They are musicians first ... if she passed the audition she would have been given an officer's commission, no boot camp. There are many lesser bands in the military in which you are a soldier first, a musician after.
