To my knowledge, members of the President's Own have never been required to attend recruit training,at least not in the last 40 years or so(if you want I'll check)
As for the Real Marine/ Paper Marine debate; there will always be guys(usually too chicken to give their own names) to take cheap shots at the USMB(nevermind that the band does an outstanding public affairs service for them in return(IMHO) Frank adressed this topic with his usual clarity. I suspect that Mr. noname was trained to do almost nothing his job entailed when he showed up at the recruiting office. Look, I don't make the rules and policies regarding my job so please don't bust on me for playing by them.
With regards to the audition in December check the Band's website at www.marineband.usmc.mil
all the real weight info is there for you to see

Not in any way to be construed as "official scoop",
