I was going to say Bassoon player in the AF Band of Washington. They come in as E-6.

Lt Col Phil Henning - I'd thought about that, but being a bassoonist myself, opted for oboe player. :)

They have a mastery of their skill before the Air Force and are paid as such. Lt Col Phil Henning -

Not sure if the Air Force still has them, but the most unusual while I served was entomologist.

Yeah, we have them at Andrews. They go out around base and hunt deer in the fall. Best damn job in the world.

SSgt (Join to see) - I though entomology was the study of insects and bugs. Hunting deer doesn't make sense unless they were trying to limit deer ticks.

Perhaps, I just know that on Andrews they work out of the same office. They give us (base police) a call whenever they are out. There have been a few times they forgot to call and went out, when people heard gunshots around base we had to go out and find the individual. I'm sure you can guess how that goes.
