ETA 2 hours

ETA ?

Thank you brother

Sweet man we are an hour out

If you could Venmo me $30 that would be great thank you

This weekend is turning into a disaster. My affiliate canceled because he had car issues and has to be back early. Brandon is sick. Ben CO, Any WY, and Jesse CO all canceled because of Andy.

I would not have booked a $90 campsite if 1/3 of the people going were going to bail less than 24 hours

To make matters worse 3 other people canceled in less than 24 hours. Keep in mind I booked our campsite Wednesday, had I known 1/3 of the people attending were going back out I wouldn’t have gotten the campsite

I hope you can understand if I am just a little ticked off

Awesome man! We’ll be there soon

Ok copy

Can we add Nathan CA to Anthony UT shield team?

Bro fuck

I’m sorry man 😕

Did it let up?

I just made it back home

Shit dude I’m sorry

how are the others fairing?

Shit man well get some rest

I reckon it’ll let up here soon

I don’t know what I can say other than you should be there to gain for the purpose of being prepared, to gain experience and bond with your comrades.

What’s infuriating is why would you have me book the campsite, be reserved to go, and then on the day of cancel

Not only that but I bought food for them. I really don’t know how to stop someone from dropping out like that if they’re committed to it.

Understood

@all I created this chat for the purpose of the rearguard communicating and ensuring that we are all prepared for the upcoming event. I would like for everyone to have drilled at least twice before event. It's essential that we really nail these tactics down to a tee and are confident in our abilities perform under stress and pressure.

also if anyone needs help ordering their gear, or is having a hard time funding it be it knee pads or chin strap let either Thomas, Vincent, or myself know.

I have a post action review

can you hop on mumble tonight?

📌 NOTICE 📌
Leg/Head Protection, Necessary Gear
Below linked is the standardized leg protection for heavy shieldbearers. It is not required for those on light duty shields.

It will be necessary for those on heavy shields to purchase and prepare their own leg guards. If they have issues with this financially they are to contact their team lead, and that is to be discussed here.

If you are taller than 6ft, you may want to buy the taller guards.

Once you acquire the guards, you must paint them. Steps for doing that are as follows:
- Lightly sand the surface of the pads until it has a matte appearance, and is no longer shiny and sleek.
- Cover all areas of the item but the hard padding with masking tape.
- Spray the pads with two light coats of light tan paint. (Rustoleum brand "Antique White" is Ideal).

Instructions for the chin strap are simple. All on shields are required to have one. Purchase one, and hold onto the extra.
- Very carefully pick a place just in front of the ear on your hat and poke a hole in the fabric just big enough to clip the chinstrap.
- If the hat can be worn comfortably with the mask overtop of the chinstrap, and is more firmly attached to the head, do the same with the bump cap inserted.
- It is best to drill a small hole into the bump cap at the precise location previously used. If you do not have access to a drill, ask your locals.

Report back with any questions, before proceeding with the process. Acquire and prepare these items as soon as you are able.

POST ACTION REVIEW:
NW15, SOCAL, NORCAL, and NW5 all picked up drill fairly quickly. Many of the members have had prior experience, from either drilling once before or military/marching band. Overall it only took maybe 15-20 min for everyone to finally synchronize. The only difficulties that the clusters/Networks came across were maintaining dressing to the right and avoiding obstacles. All of which significantly improved throughout drilling, especially in regards to turns. Shield tactics were performed almost flawlessly despite not having any shields, the same goes for the fireman carries and line breaking. Members who performed exceptionally were Josh CA and Nathan CA. Josh excelled at drill having prior experience and assisting with keeping the men in step. Despite the last minute drop outs being NW3 and two members of NW5 the western networks and clusters will be adequately prepared for the event. It is suggested that all parties continue to practice and train at least once more before the event if possible.
As far as accommodations regarding lodging and food, areas of improvement would be that next time I bring two pans rather than one for my gas stove. To the best of my knowledge everyone enjoyed the food and maintained hydration throughout the day. Lodging was fantastic, beautiful scenery all around with mountains and red sand, we had almost the entire campground to ourselves going undisturbed throughout the entire stay. Also Logan CA is an awesome photographer

will do

Brandon CA was sick. I know he would have been there if possible, Alan my unaffiliate backed out due to car trouble however I knew he needed to be back in SLC around 4 and leave early again within reason. As for James UT he could not get the time off without using Vacation time which he is planning on using for the next event. He can't make it to Dec because his wife is pregnant and is due the weekend of the event

the major cancellations were NW3

I am going to be talking to Ben tonight on mumble

If anything Nathan CA can be put on the round and Eric PA can be with me

@Vincent TX can you hop on mumble?

@Clarke OK is Nathan CA on your team?

@NS - Joshua UT you are on Anthony’s team now

Mark PA will be on mine

@Mark PA

most important is that you order the leg guards and bump cap ASAP you might even have to pay for express shipping. Lmk if you need help fronting the cost!

if you order the bump cap now you will get it by dec 1st

Fucking badass man

one of my favorite ARs to date

Copy

@Jesse GA @Leo LA

You need to order your gear ASAP, you will most likely have to have it expressed shipped. Let me know if you need help fronting the cost and we can get it sorted out!
