Rule Set To Follow!

PREREGISTRATION IS UP!

40.00 FOR EVENT

Everyone who pre registers gets 20 dollars in US MILITARY SCRIPT! To spend into the local S. Vietnamese economy!

*UPDATE*
Sleeping Billets: There will be an out of bounds area, where people can camp if they so choose. Anyone wishing to stay in the fight, will have shelter halves to sleep in. All you need is a sleeping bag and cot or sleeping pad.

Food: C rations and water will be provided to all Marines. Anyone who preregisters will recieve 20 dollars worth of military script that can be spent at Mama Sans Bar & Grill for real food and pop. Marines can also turn in their USD for military script.

Directions: Directions to the ranch are on the home page in the field directions section. The staging/out of bounds area will be at the pole barn at the north end of the property (not my red barn at my house). I will also have signs out for everyone to follow.

Reenactor SOP: This is historical airsoft, so let's try to keep non period items to a minimum and keep them out of sight at all times. (Item's like sleeping bags, cell phones, personal snacks, etc.) Nothing wrecks historical airsoft quicker than non period items laying around.

Rucking up: There will be a march to Camp Basilone. Your gear should be packed in a ruck pack or a sea bag. If you only have a barney the dinosaur back pack, so be it. We need to get your gear to the top of the hill in a proficient manner. And we want to avoid garage sales. Make sure you bring everything you need with you to Camp Basilone if you dont want to make the long walk back to your car.

Check in: All Marines are expected to report in to the staging area no later than 1000 hours Saturday morning. Anyone that wants to come out and help setup Friday night is welcome to do so.

I'm really disappointed I'm not able to make it up to this. I've been thinking more and more and it's all getting much more appealing.
