Sorry for the late introduction! Thanksgiving events haha. Happy to be here and always ready to learn!

Hope everyone is ready for this upcoming weekend!

Yeah of course! Give me a lil bit just to reconfirm some things

@Mike ID Did Thomas ever give you a time he wants you/the comms team at the campground ahead of everyone else or still working with what we know so far?

You ARE Carolina gang bro. NC and SC are an inseparable team, look out for each other 😎 Looking forward to you being at this event as well, you

Or, did you have any suggestions/thoughts? I don't imagine we will actually need to get there much earlier than anyone else but of course I wanted to double check if you got new info and what your thoughts were

Sounds good, charging the phone rn

Ill hop on when charged a bit

Makes sense, just wanted to double check in case something slipped by me or there were expectations I had overlooked

We should be fine arriving sometime on Friday night, no worries. We will have that entire night and the morning after to play with radios

Great news, I have alarms to remind everyone who is supposed to bring radios set so I can remind everyone, Mike and I have all the prepwork done that we should need done so we can just plug radios in and make them work. You literally just need to know how to press the talk button and you should be fine, worst case scenario Mike or I should be nearby to quickly assist. Comms should be all settled and good to go for this trip. Just to give you a nice little bow on top of everything. All that'll be left is when I'm told to be at the undisclosed campsite sometime before(Or more likely, on) Friday and I can make sure that the Carolina boys all make good time to get to where we're supposed to be

Makes the most sense. Just wanted to thank you for all the help again, as always don't hesitate to reach out if there's ever anything you need or anything I can help you with (or anything I probably need to know that you aren't sure if I've been told yet). If we don't talk in the meantime, looking forward to hanging out again Friday!

Sounds like a plan, I'll make sure everything continues running as smoothly as possible over here

For Baofeng UV-5Rs, I have a big charger that fits 6 radios. No worries, goes without saying I'll bring it

Want me to try and bring some extra AA batteries or should my normal charger be sufficient?

Sounds good :)

Thanks Mike

Honestly. I want to be better at radios and youve been a help with that

Just let me know when I can be a help or what I can do

Awww, stop💝

That's interesting! What can you tell me about them? Baofeng UV-5Rs I'm assuming but I can't be sure. What seems to be the problem as well? Not transmitting? The more info you give me the better I can help

This event we should actually be programming new settings into all the radios via software program on a laptop so bring them by and we might be able to get it solved in less than a minute if its a software issue. Honestly if that's the issue I'm not even a little worried, I can tell you right now it seems like a squelch issue if the issue is your radio(s) are just having trouble picking up sound well

We can have a quick call sometime later today for sure, but if the only problem is it picking up noise well then I think I just diagnosed it. Well, assuming of course that you've tried turning the volume on max already, I'm sure you have so I'm thinking 95% chance it's the squelch

@all Just a reminder! 9 PM EST, 48 minutes from now. If you can't be there you need to reach out here and explain why, no exceptions. This is going to be an important one and you should be here though.

If you don't reach out here, would try either Marcus or myself. This goes for all meetings as well, just because it isn't a NNM doesn't mean these can just be brushed off. Same principles apply.

@all

Phenomenal work, thank you for everything you do bro👍

Setup looks really good unless I'm missing who needs to talk to who. C could potentially be the drivers

Friday will be very fum

It's alright, not ideal but the most important thing is that everyone knows someone didn't miss a meeting for frivolous reasons. If it was that big I'm sorry to hear it and I hope it works out man. If theres ever anything we can do to help just let us know

Can you get me a when and where for tomorrow morning?😳

Chad, looking forward to it!

You have the security checkpoint yet?

Fantastic👌

Always Thomas! We all have the utmost confidence in not only making this event the best one Patriot Front has ever had, but also in your ability to lead us all there. We'll all be there and you can be rest assured you'll see unrivaled passion and belief from the Carolina boys! Looking forward to this event and it will be something that everyone can be more than proud of. I would advise @all just to go over your packs and go over everything you need just one more time tonight and in the morning to make sure everything goes smoothly and please don't hesitate to reach out to anyone if you need last minute help.

On that note, everyone has put in a lot of time and effort to be here today and it's time for this weekend to reflect just how passionate and motivated we are! Proud of all of you and I'm looking forward to seeing every one of you this weekend!

Or course man, we’re a team here. We care
