FTX INTEREST?

[ncnam]

would anyone be interested in attending a ftx at allisons woods in statesville, sometime late april. i am trying to put this on, so we can come together, share ideas, knock the cob-webs off from winter, gear up and have some fun. if anybody is new to the nam thing, it would be a good time to see how to put your basic kit together, and what you would need for a good impression. right now, thinking, it would be run patrols to secure an lz or to rescue down pilots, and to just refresh on movements, language, lingo, and life of the typical trooper in nam.

There is a Big WWII Event in Late April....Also Keep in mind, Allot of us still have not got any gear.

Some kind of an event any way would be a great Idea. non the less.

Im not shooting your Idea, down. Just need to take a look at what is going on and at cost for some of the guys at this time.

But lets at least plan an Event for allison-Woods and then see about a Date?

That would be awsome.....Like Admin said....many of us dont have gear... but I for one would be happy coming down and seeing you guys's gear/set up and just learn...but I figure we work out the details and see where it goes....

I think this is a great idea, I am just about to complete all my gear needs. I think the ftx would be an awesome idea to give this era a fresh start. Im good for it. Maybe even sooner?

i am trying to pin one day down in either march or april, when there is nothing going on at the woods. there is only maybe two good saturdays that we might have a chance. but if you have no gear, thats ok, wear what you got, either WWII or whatever. still trying to get feedback from others, so i will advise later.

got some good interest from others. working on securing a day in march, probably the 20th. i know it is short notice, but as it gets further into march and april, things get busy for others. but for a one day ftx, i think it is plenty of time for people to adjust fire.

I still do not have gear, of any sort...Not to say I do not plan to get it.

Spent a Crap load on the Jeep this month, and have some bills and others to pay on.

I will try and get my uniform and boots ASAP.

[ncnam]

no problem. havent heard back on what day is secured yet. it is either the 20th of march or april 17. hopefully find something out monday.

[ncnam]

date confirmed, march 20th. i know it is short notice, but at least they gave us a date. it is only time they have that doesnt interfere with their other outings and weddings. i will post schedule as time gets a little closer.

[ncnam]

as time gets closer, we will check to see what the weather is going to do. if it will be crappy and total washout, i will cancel, dont expect anyone to catch cold or roll around in the mud, i know i wouldnt do it. as it stand we will group up around 0900. have some good scenarios and patrols to run. slight chance we can camp out on friday night, if anyone wants to.
