Major General on Accordian

Post by sinfonian »

If you read the caption in this USA today article, it seems that we now have a Major General (2 Stars) playing accordion with the Army Band.

Army Maj. Gen. Manuel Bobenrieth, who plays for the U.S. Army Band, plays the accordion in Quincy, Mass., Sunday.
:shock:

:idea: It only seems right that our very own Sean (as a Tuba Player) should at least be a Lt General (3 Stars) if not a full General.

I saw the same story on CNN.com. Notice how they screwed up his rank in the picture's caption. He is a Sergeant Major. They called him a Major General in the picture's caption. That is about a $74,000/year difference, among other perks.

If I bump into him at work I will congratulate him on his promotion to General Officer.
