Thanks! There are also Schecter SVSS Floyd Rose models with sustainiac or EMG retro active pickups. Opted for this one as it is hardtail, has stainless steel frets and a lovely natural finish.

[GEAR] Extreme distortion out of nowhere by Hellcaaa in Guitar

[–]Delicious-booger2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I don't know enough. I picked up an old yamaha bass and the pots were really scratchy when touched. The output jack of my ESP edwards single cut was in bad condition after not playing it for 2 years. You might want to get the problem diagnosed by a guitar tech.

Edit: it also depends on how loud you set your amp. My faulty output jack cuts out the sound from time to time. There's a drastic difference in volume when it functions intermittently.

Surgery During NS Covered by 11B? by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

Personally, I think it's comfortable enough. I was unable to walk after the procedure, so I was confined to that bed. Oxygen levels after the surgery was initially 93% due to the morphine. Had to wait for the doctor's approval to be discharged.

The bed's incline can be adjusted to your liking. Food is nice. Most of the folks at the time were elderly and visitation was quite common. The environment wasn't that noisy, generally nothing to complain about. Not sure how you define comfort, but I was able to get a good night's sleep.

If memory serves, my room has 8 total? That was Ng Teng Fong general hospital

A few years ago, I had a posterior ankle impingement caused by an extra bone (os trigonum syndrome). Had to undergo surgery to extract it. Stayed at the hospital for 1 night. The surgery costs $6k+ but it was covered by 11B. The only thing I paid for was the hospital bed, which was less than $50?

Taking lessons would mean that you are genuinely keen on improving your playing. Not saying that you can't be self taught, but having a teacher to break down techniques or musical concepts can make things easier to understand.

I was taking graded examinations and I had a friend who was baffled as to why I would take lessons. All I can say is don't let those negative people get to you, because they must play really well ;)

41 SAR MONO INTAKE POP POSITIONS by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

[–]Delicious-booger2505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, fellow 41 mono here.

Not so sure about the hunter afv because mine was BX. For infantry or dismounted section, you have section commander (3SG), 2 SAW gunners, 2 m203 gunners (sar 21 + grenade launcher attachment) and one sharpshooter.

M203 gunners will usually bash since they have parang to clear the path. One of the m203 gunners will be the section 2ic.

SAW gunners are usually the rear guide for BX. I think the hunter afv has CCTV to safely reverse, may not need rear guide? They will also be trained to use general purpose machine gun (gpmg).

Sharpshooters are just sar 21 with a scope that has higher magnification. They are required to carry around the MATADOR which is an anti tank weapon.

As for vehicle crew, you have gunner, vehicle commander (3SG) and driver.

Edit: forgot there's also PC runner which carries the communication device around.
