I want somebody like this guy, not some guy that thinks he's a girl...
MOH, 2 Silver Stars, 6 Bronze Stars, 8 Purple Hearts. 115 confirmed kills.

Interesting life story. His skills and attitude were good for him in the position he was in while in the military.
Outside of the military, I estimate it would have been tough for him.

My nephew just went through the Crucible in Marine Corps training. He was already a near-Olympic level marksman before he went in. If he were not going to be in the Marine band he’d be a serious badass on the battlefield.

Yep. He's one of those kids that can pick up any instrument and be pretty good in a couple weeks. And I do not recommend you try to swipe any of his. Just graduated from TCU.

President’s Own is some serious shit, musician wise. You don’t need to have a doctorate in performance to get in, but quite a few do… That’s impressive as hell. Have him reach out if he needs anything when he gets up here. What are his instruments of choice?

As @Doctor-Phibes will acknowledge, Saxophone is truly the ultimate refinement of all woodwinds and brasswinds. They constantly tried to create better flutes and better trumpets… They experimented with reeds and double reeds, they went from the bugle type of trumpet to the valve trumpet, to baritone, tuba, and trombone…The closest the brass instruments came to perfection was the French horn. Still, it wasn’t until Adolph Sax unveiled his magnificent creation when instrument makers said “There… Thats it. Nothing can better that sound…

I think you're downplaying it's magnificence. It's quite simply the voice of God.
Not the soprano, obviously.

I also think that knowing how to shoot accurately would be a great help for a number of saxophonists I've met.
