that short guy

no, i haven't tried any acoustic patches yet. Really I'm not a huge fan of them. I rarely if ever use the piezo on my guitar. At some point I may get into trying to find impulses for acoustic guitar sounds similar to the Fishman Aura. But outside of that, I would just try to use a little compression (Tube Comp), EQ, and reverb.

hey thar, no special program needed to download. Some browsers are funny with those files for some reason though. Just be sure to right click and save as. Also, be sure you're in the folder for your device. If you go to www.foobazaar.com/podhd/patches/ you'll notice there's folders for hd500, hdPro, and hdDesktop. hd500 is gonna have more bleeding edge stuff, but I generally try to post for all platforms. jZab has a converter if you need to convert from one format to another that works well. If you have continued issues, let me know what OS and browser you are using - trying to figure out if I can't prevent this issue from the get-go. Thx and enjoy.

Being on an ETT was definitely "better", got off the FOB, interacted with Afghans, etc. I felt for folks that only left the FOB when they were redeploying. One of the guys in my hooch came in on an ETT, but they grabbed him to be the assistant S-3. 12-hour shifts, 7-days a week. He did airport runs just to get out of the TOC.

It was a mixed bag. Sucked to be away, frustrating at times, but it was a good mission. I actually extended for six months to oversee all the Corps & Below Medical Mentoring and prep for the hand-over to NATO.

Yup. Currently in the Reserves as the S-4 of a Combat Support Hospital. I was the OIC of an ETT in Afghanistan and my NCOIC was with the 4th ID in Iraq.

Is that a 4th ID patch?

Yeah... the USMC and Army have quite different missions... hell, all the branches have their good and bad. I have some bad ass friends that would put a lot of Marines and Soldiers to shame and they are USAF PJs (combat para-rescue jumpers)...
