If your education is a primary goal of your enlistment, I would highly recommend the Army Band Field. I am currently serving with the 4ID Band in Tikrit, Iraq. I would venture to say that as an Army Bandsman, deployment is about as bad as it gets and I am having a ball. We are playing for soldiers all around the country and about to play for the civilians. As far as education goes, the Army is so concerned with the civilian education of it's soldiers that we have multiple soldiers in our unit taking courses out here via the internet. With programs such as EArmyU and 100% while on Active Duty and the GI Bill or Loan Repayment, you can do very well for yourself financially and educationaly while serving your country and playing your tuba. I was in a similar boat 2 years ago and am very pleased with the decision I made. I wish you the best of luck. If you have any further questions, drop me an email and I will be sure to answer them ASAP or get someone who can in touch with you.
Take Care
