From a Wired blog article:

http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/01/army-seeks-prof.html

Shit. My band has no celebrities. And we fail all the stated objectives. Otherwise we'd be a shoe-in I guess. Here's a summary of what the army is looking for:

Professional Celebrity Rock Music Band, group not to exceed seven people for tour of FOB's [forward operating bases] in Kuwait and Afghanistan for February 4-13 2008. The band should be an active rock band, with a music genre consisting of Southern Rock, Pop Rock, Post-Grunge and Hard Rock. At least one member of the band should be recognizable as a professional celebrity. Protective military equipment, such as kevlar, body armour, eye and ear protection will be provided when the group is travelling on military rotary or fixed wing aircraft.

Go to the link and then have your mind blown by the criteria they're using to choose bands. :shock:

U.S. Army... wrote:HIPHOP AND/OR RAP MUSIC ACT SOUGHT

- Act must contain at least one "fresh" MC and DJ combination, who have been "profiling" and "holding it down" within the last six months. Creative dental work a plus.

- The crew may not contain "wack" MCs.

- Points deducted if the artist is found to be "fronting."


LOL!!!! :smt005

When they choose this band, I want photos of a southern rock/hard rock group fronted by a "fronting" "wack" MC wearing kevlar, body armour, and eye and ear protection.

Wait, didn't Kid Rock already do this shit?
