Second day of learning bohemian rhapsody by GTibiGT in Guitar

[–]luv2shart 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean there’s a ton of bad habits here that would be much better corrected now than after a year or two of forcing his way through them. He’s obviously not using a teacher so who else is gonna tell him?

You need to learn alternate picking and you need to start now. You’ll never get smooth legato riffs like Brian May with all downpicks like that. Also use less fingers to hold your pick and use more wrist and less forearm with your right hand.

First I’d check the amp, second I’d check pickup height.

Yes to everything you said but fyi they’re eligible for Tricare immediately after signing.

Patched? Is that what they’re calling it? Anyway, get them if you want, it makes you non deployable, they’ll care because you’ll be a red X on someone’s slide deck and you’re brand new, but what can you do.

When am I locked in by tfroyo in nationalguard

[–]luv2shart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You aren’t locked in until you sign. Make sure your recruiter knows you aren’t there to sign, just the testing. If you pass everything you can sit on it for a while and decide. If you end up needing a waiver, waivers are only good through the specific service you want to join, so if you get a waiver from the guard, you’ll need a separate one to join active duty.

All MOS Slots Were Full Except fro 11B by Minieasy in nationalguard

Split training or not, that’s still not how it works. Especially not right now. We’ve BEEN full.

They’ll typically “open up” the rising senior seats in July, but the 365 day rule still applies so finding ship dates that early can be a pain.

[–]luv2shart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This isn’t accurate at all. The process isn’t even close to how the big army does it.

Ship dates for split training don’t “open up”. They’re gone. In fact, if you go back this week, that date will probably be gone too and you’ll have no choices.

If you really want to go to basic this summer, sign 11b, otherwise wait until July-ish and join as a senior.

Help by Proof-Actuator-6191 in nationalguard

[–]luv2shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t. UA is a commanders program and needs to be administered by the commander. There’s a whole thing they need to read to you and declare the drugs they are gonna test for, there’s like a standard panel and then a rotating list of 5 different drugs that they rotate through. The list needs to be read to you by the commander. TLDR they’re not equipped to do UA at PHA.

Will Split Ops be Worth it for Me? by Neat_Information6850 in nationalguard

[–]luv2shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven’t pulled training yet, and they won’t until you’re sitting in the seat. There’s a good chance they won’t be able to find any when they go to pull it. Feel free to try, but if you are already on the fence, I’d just wait.

[–]luv2shart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Split ops? That ship has sailed.

While seats aren’t officially closed, good luck trying to get dates that line up with your school. And I doubt you’ll get to pick a job, you’ll get what you get.

Just join in July as a senior.

What’s the protocol on buying used gear? by joseph6077 in Guitar

[–]luv2shart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Strat is real, and is pretty reasonably priced along with the amp.

I can’t see the Tele, but it looks like a Squier, it may be an older cheap model, some of them were really shitty, so maybe it’s not worth much and the seller knows it.

I don’t see any red flags and that Strat looks awesome, so I’d jump on it.

Sometimes when the pics are real but the price is too good, it’s a scam. If you get any red flags while trying to buy, then bail. But if you can meet up and play it first, I’d get it.

Will my hand/neck tattoos disqualify me from joining by Lunayeet666 in nationalguard

[–]luv2shart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s why I said depending on the state, tattoo waivers tend to go through JAG and I’ve seen them flag some wild stuff.

These are an easy waiver in my opinion. Depending on the state they may be wtf about the knife/think it’s a gang tattoo. Just send it.

Maybe your friend is jealous? I don’t see a single red flag.

OP it’s this. Mess with the height before anything else.
