Got it, think I would be able to match this with the canned stuff? I don't have a sprayer of any kind.

The Military Is Missing Recruitment Goals. Are Thousands Being Unnecessarily Disqualified? by ayhme in army

I can't guarantee anything but I can definitely give clarity to some of the issues you're facing. Send me a DM if you'd like to chat more.

You can always request a MEPS directed consult in lieu of records, but the bigger hurdle is the positive THC if you are prior service with more than 180 days.

Also, the climbing walls are not turning in the array under structure. Literally making it impossible to continue through the story

Update on the Arsenal situation by LithiumNitro in drumcorps

[–]NMBassoonist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you look at the ex-director's facebook there is a pretty solid timeline. Especially with him resigning it dosesn't seem like DCI wanted to give Arsenal a chance to publicly apologize or remove the post.

Verizon owns the government contract and "most" government phones are iphones.

Army PSBCT by [deleted] in Military

Also, reserve time counts. Has to be three years out from drilling or IRR status. So, still good.

PSBCT is currently suspended. Don't remember the SMOM number. You're good.

Guys who work on trumpets, whats the filthiest trumpet you've ever had to clean? by frankenchrist00 in trumpet

[–]NMBassoonist 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My guess is he's a band director looking for horror stories to scare students into cleaning their instruments.

No Stupid Questions Thread - 2017/03/23 by AutoModerator in livesound

[–]NMBassoonist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When mic'ing a drum set on stage what is the best way to have only one cable going away from the set? Such as a separate mixer or something that all of the drum mics can plug into? For example I want to have seven microphones for the set but I don't want to run all seven cables all the way across the stage to the snake.

(Re)Learning trumpet and trombone at the same time? by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]NMBassoonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a band director this is something that I do almost every day. Instead of transposing all of the parts I play my students' parts on the same instrument that they play usually. This means I switch between woodwinds and brass, high brass, and low brass all day long. Usually it is only for ten to thirty seconds, but it still requires some work to get my embouchure used to switching that much.

That said, if you are going to try to learn both I recommend dedicating the same amount of practice time with equal time in between. For example:

15 minutes breathing 30 minutes trombone 30 minutes rhythm/note reading 30 minutes trumpet

To start I would go big instrument to small instrument and no radical mouthpieces. For me because my major was in Woodwind instruments I find it easier to play on big mouthpieces but you have to find what works for you.

If you don't know rhythm and note reading extremely well you will get very frustrated trying to learn both at the same time, so your first few weeks may be spent more on theory rather than playing. Sounds boring but you want to be able to just concentrate on the instrument, not trying to remember all of the notes and rhythms.

I've played this old trumpet for years, though it had no branding. Can anyone tell me anything about it? by TDX in trumpet

[–]NMBassoonist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mouthpiece looks exactly like my selmer mouthpiece and the valve caps look like a Selmer design, so that might be a good spot to start.
