I also feel that "every Marine is a rifleman," having done boot camp myself and now working "down the hall", so to speak, in the D&B.

But, as the Commandant says, the Marine Band entirely lives up to the performance standards and work ethic of every other Marine, and even beyond. Their uniform is already different -- there is a music lyre instead of crossed rifles in the insignia. In every other way, though, they've earned the title with their commitment to excellence.

And, I'm not one to question the Commandant, either.

(going back to lurk mode now -- this is not the forum to argue this point)
