MOS 42R Musician 

I didn't know the ARMY band were so varied. What a cool way to serve if music is your thing.

Airborne and playing 🤣 imagine jumping out of a plane while playing a guitar!

Broo I see my friend in this video (he plays guitar) and man am I so proud of him. Our high school band teacher inspired so many of his students to follow their passion (he serves part time in the Guam Army National Guard while being a band director) and he's been a huge inspiration not only to me, but to a lot of musicians around Guam. I've been wanting to serve my island and country through music for about 5 years now. I will be scheduling to take my ASVAB in the next couple of months (hopefully) and I'm ready to work hard to become a musician in the US Army. Woohoo! 🇺🇸🎶🇬🇺

30+ years doing this with the US Army. It's legit, and the musicians are top notch.

My CO laughed at me for choosing 19D over 42R after he heard me playing the Trumpet and Piano when I lived in the barracks..... Two weeks later I was on Funeral Detail as the bugle horn player and he laughed at me again.

This MOS is awesome! I stil prefer blowing stuff up, tho.

As a soldier I really appreciated the Army band.

Watching from the army school of music. Great program!!! Can't wait to get to my duty station in August

The rock band came to my high school today, it was so cool. Plus I got out of honors English and part of bio med.

Must be a dream job.

Intrigued by the thought of playing bass or running sound for the military. Steady income instead of gig work plus benefits and structure. Seems like a good deal, for all that i spent at a music school that i fear is going to waste. Can't read music to save my life though. :/

The army gotta have people to boost their attack damage percentages yk

What do musicians do all day on base while stationed ??

Do I still have to pull SD and be on SGM detail though?

They god hard tbh

I played with a lot of guys from Berkley school of music that joined. So these aren’t off the street musicians.

Currently waiting on my thumbs up if I'm accepted or not haha

its Julliard with PT

all of this sounds so exciting but do you have to audition to get in? Is there a way I can go to boot camp and learn as I go? I am amature with the guitar and piano and singing... These skills I want to advance in but I wont be able to join if I cant perform what they want in the audition and that sucks...

I wanna be a vocalist not no musician I can't play no instrument at all

If I zero in music but willing to learn, can I still apply for this MOS ? Because I saw in the video that i have to audition to get in and I don’t know how to play any instruments !

How much time they have with basic combat training?

In ordrer to be an Army Musician, don't one have to know how to play an instrument, before entering the Army?

I went to basic with a guy with this MOS in 1993.

What the hell is that at 1:08 ? That Bandmaster should be fired for running a high school band.

Wtf haha

is this a joke ?

"yeah i was in the military" what did you do? "was in a band" lol
