Performer but in the Military? So was Morgan Freeman.
There is no reason you can’t serve your country and follow your dreams at the same time. Many veterans have gone on to incredible success making real money in the civilian world by taking advantage of some of the opportunities the military offers to show your talent to the world in their spare time. JAWS Composer John Williams (Air Force), Drew Carey (Marines), Clint Eastwood (Army), Bill Cosby (Navy) are just a few of the many celebs who served their country while realizing their dreams lie in other places.
In 1955, at 18, Morgan Freeman signed up with the U.S. Air Force and worked as a mechanic until his five years ended in 1959.
The demands on today’s military are brutal. Deployed here, stationed there and if you don’t have an outlet you’ll lose your mind. We realize that spare time and the military don’t always go hand in hand but that’s the way dreams work, gotta give something up to get something better. The most prestigious and well traveled of these opportunities is an all active duty performing and touring show with musicians, singers, dancers and comedians called Air Force Tops In Blue www.topsinblue.com.

Your ass may belong to Uncle Sam (for now) but your dreams belong to you. Make it happen.
