Hell yes.

Its a based banner

Based on what

Based on my driveway

So I did a promat run last night on my way back from that side job. If I hadn't I wouldnt have seen I my tire was quickly going flat.

Does anyone know how we work out the sizing for the gear we have to buy for the demo?

No clue man

What gear are you talking about?

The shin guards only come in two sizes, get the larger size. The chin strap only comes in one size and I have an extra if anyone needs one.

@all Once again, YOU NEED to let either me or @ND - William OK know if you do not plan to be in attendance at the December demonstration. We're trying to get the most accurate data possible, and I am considering those who read my previous post about this and DID NOT respond as an answer of "Yes, I am going."

As far as I understand it, we will have 100% attendance at this demonstration, plus one unaffiliate from Network 4. This would be a point of pride for us as long as we can follow through. We need to do whatever it takes to achieve this.

For those of you selected to be on a shield team (most of the Network), also be aware that there are some additional gear items you need to have with you. Get with your shield team leader to recieve the link and let them know if you have any trouble purchasing them. We will take care of that.

@all Also, this is a reminder that there is our final drilling event going on next weekend in the Dallas area. Packing list and uniform should be considered close to the hiking gear we usually bring, uniform optional. This will just be a Saturday event and we will all be home on the following Sunday at a comfortable time, though it is suggested you arrive on Friday night. The event address will be sent out soon. Everyone needs to attend to make sure that we are all ready for the marching and shield work for the upcoming demonstration. I will also be reaching out to everyone to get confirmation that you can attend.

@IC - Jesse AR I WILL BE THERE!

Chin straps only come in one size. As for the leg guards, anyone under 6 foot tall should be comfortable with the 13" selection. Anyone 6feet tall or over should get the 15".

Thanks fellas. Ordering today.

@IC - Jesse AR With all the connections to the bÜndies, PP guys, and so on, we should be able to scrape together a handful more unaffiliates. Gotta be some room for growth there.

You know I'm bringing Sid

I might be bringing someone that recently applied.

I will be there on the 4th.

@ND - William OK

I will be there this weekend and the 4th.

@Clarke OK Stalwart!

Can someone reccomend a good dal boot?

Can someone reccomend a good combat boot? Preferably 8 inches tall. I'd like the ankle support.

Yes I'm going

I recently bought the 5.11 Skyweight. I like them. Took a while to really break in, but even right out of the box they were the most comfortable ones Ive owned

Can someone interview/vet my friend on Thursday night? He's a guy from our pool party, solid dude.

Yeah I’ll do it

He’s coming this weekend, we can all vet him at the same time.

@all I would like everyone to meet at my house NO LATER THAN 5:30 on Friday. Is everyone able to do that?

I'm not 100 percent sure when I get off on Friday. I'll make sure to pack a bag tomorrow night and carry it in my truck.

We are supposed to arrive at the campsite before 10 pm because the gates to the park are locked at 10. There are other places we can park if necessary but I would like to arrive as early as possible.

If anyone wants me to bring extra hammocks I have two extra

I'll take you up on that if you don't mind

Do we know the forecast?

Weather is expected to be temperate, with nighttime temperatures in the low fifties. There is no chance of precipitation

Perfect hammock weather

If cars show up late, you can still get to the campsite, but your options are likely limited to a hike through the woods to get there, or a small chance of getting a parking ticket.

Loy gets off of work at 5:30 so we'll probably have to pick him up on the way

I'll try to get off work early and head your way straight from there. Either way tho it'll be close timing and we might have to leave the moment I arrive if I'm the last one.

I'm battling truck issues! I've got to pull out of this weekend.

Ride with Nathan or Jesse

I'm getting it figured out as we speak. It figure Jesse might be able to pick him up since he'll be further south on that day anyways.

I can cover gas. But I can't drive it long distance.

It'll be a dent in y'all's time, but you'll both be there. And if Jesse's willing, it's essential that you make it to this drilling event @Leo AR

@IC - Jesse AR if you want to drive straight to Dallas to save time/money it is fine by me. @Leo AR you need to attend though, you are a shield bearer and people’s safety depends on your readiness for the event. We will figure out how to get you there brother.

10-4 Brother

@ND - William OK I will be picking up Leo.

That'll make us there at around midnight going that route. 7 hours to go from Fort Smith as early as I can leave to Leo and then back the way I came down to Dallas.

He will need to arrange another ride back home on Sunday though. I have to leave Saturday night.

Can one of the OK guys take him back as were driving back to Will's place?

If he can get a ride to Fort Smith I'd be able to drop him off at the car, but if I had to take him all the way back to his place I really would need to leave the drilling event at like 6pm. I have work at 1am Sunday.

The weekend after this let's get that squares away for you. Whats it doing now

I have to work early Sunday morning as well, I don’t even know who all is driving other than me. We will figure it out tomorrow when the majority of us meet at my house.

Thank you @IC - Jesse AR

I live towards the South. I'll just drive straight to Dallas if that's alright?

@ND - William OK

@Cecil OK The same problem. Will run fine then rattling like heck and dies. I thought we had it fixed but showed back up yesterday.

@John OK That’s fine, contact me before you leave

Woke up with a sore throat clogged nose and couldn't taste anything. Freaked out about covid and took temp. No fever. Took a Claritin. It helped with nose and throat. I think it's allergies but what do you guys think?

I have allergies right now

I still can't taste anything. I don't want to spread coof to yall 2 weeks out from an action.

@Clarke OK You could get tested. Remember that at AmRen Mason had just been sick, and Lucca's friend was sick. Just regular cold bugs. I'm dealing with a mild cold at the moment as well. Clearing out.

Not being able to taste anything is pretty regular if your nose is clogged. Smell is obviously dependent upon clear nose as well.

You can get a test at Walmart for like 20 bucks

Can I get some of that coof bro

I can spit in your drink I guess if you ask nicely.

What the fuck dude just stand within 6 feet of me maskless

I suppose that's a much more reasonable option.

You should have done that to Daryl

Or Darrel or however that fat slob spells it

I should have.

Sid will not be able to make this weekend

What kind of gear do I need to pack for this weekend?

I think just standard camping gear. Plus the shield team ppe

@Clarke OK You can sit this one out, you super-spreader.

We were supposed to meet up today too

I'm having John bring some kit. That paint and sand paper. And someone can use my pads for the weekend as well.

Thank you @Clarke OK you'll be helping a lot of our guys get their gear ready.

@all if you're on a shield team and have acquired your protective pads, bring them with you this weekend so we can uniformly make the necessary mods to them.

Should have got the jab 👀

The more I think about it, the more I need to stay and get my truck issues worked out. Family needs reliable transportation. That way I don't have similar issues on the 4th.

@Leo AR isn’t Cecil going to help you fix the truck next weekend? We’re only going to be gone tonight and can come back tomorrow night.

@ND - William OK Idk about that one but I'm very pissed I'm missing this one.

I am willing to drive out to his place and help yes.

This sounds like an intake or fuel issue. Is the check engine blinkin? That would be a misfire if so. If not it is either the pump or possibly a miscommunication on the computers part for the intake

@all I need your ETA’s to my house this evening. We need to make sure everyone is at my house NO LATER THAN 5:30 pm.

I should be at your house BY 5:30pm approximately. But I'm going to try my best to make it over there a little earlier so that we can all be on the road by 5:30pm. As of now I'm gonna say my ETA is 5:15pm.

@Donald OK @Bryan OK @Loy OK @John OK

@Cecil OK Yes this is what I'm thinking as well I just need to get it addressed before it causes something major. I would just rather put the money i would have put in gas into my rig.

Probably 5:45-5:50, I get off of work at 4:30 and it's an hour drive

I'll be over by then.

I'm getting off early today.

@Bryan OK Why don't I just come get you guys on the way down there?

I'm driving direct to the campsite. @Nathan AR want to come down to me and we can both ride in my car? Up to you, I don't mind either way.

Well Loy gets off at 5:30 so you'll have to ask him directly but I have no problem with it

That sounds like a better idea than meeting at my house. It will get us there earlier.
