You’d be an animal lol

:muscle:

I haven’t met him.

Add James AL to the pool

How’s that mile time coming?

Would your place be suitable for banner construction?

Waiting to hear back from Jackson GA. Should I send James a gear list or what?

@all

:pushpin: NOTICE :pushpin:
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.

Get that leg protection ASAP

Seeing that Jesse GA and Leo LA have been moved to the rearguard, it may be difficult for them to acquire the leg protection in time

Copy. I sent Jesse the link anyway

May just need to make the gear standard for any shield bearer. Screen or not. For situations like this

that way people will have it if they need it

Gotcha

Good

looking forward to seeing you again

Sweet. Things will pick up speed upon my return and after the event

What improvements have you made regarding fitness?

Good

Keep at it

are you familiar with negatives?

It’s when you hop up with your chin over the bar and slowly let yourself down. Start doing those in sets of 10

Mumble at 9pm CST?

That’s great man! I’m happy for you!

What’s your status for the weekend of the 4th?

Have you acquired a well fitting uniform yet?

Tied up at work at the moment

I’ll be on shortly

Hey. Just wanted to discuss some things regarding screen teams. Screening traffic is pretty cut and dry but there were other things I wanted to be aware of. How many medic we have, how many camera men there are at what point should I have men break off etc. the front team role is obvious but I want

How’s everyone’s stencil kits coming?

@Sean AL yes. That way if any of us are ever out of stickers, we can always stencil

@Sean AL yes and yes. I’ll post some stuff

Latex gloves for stencil kit

Well, it’ll be difficult, considering it’s thanksgiving

With the rest of the guys, right?

Either way. Let’s start with you and me first I guess.

Got big plans today?

That’s cool, man. How often do you see them?

Gotcha

Its just me down here in Foley. Kinda sucks, really

it’ll be alright

Yes

I wanna do another regional gathering sometime in January or February

Mumble?

Hey, man. Pardon the sporadic communication but banner stencils and those large posters is what I’m after

@all it’s looking like @Hugh AL and @Carter AL won’t be attending the event. That leaves us with 5 from AL. We can either A: all ride in my truck so we just have one vehicle and save on fuel cost or B: take Norman’s as well for more comfort and cargo space. Y’all let me know

I appreciate all you efforts in organizing and keeping up with the men since I’ve been away. It won’t be forgotten

Sounds like a plan to me, brother. Just review the stenciling guide and stick to it and you’ll be good

also, if you can, give me the location of where you plan to stencil

Godspeed, brothers. Reclaim Birmingham

Do you have any questions or concerns regarding our role as right screen section?

Do you have any questions or concerns regarding our role as right screen section?

Good. I’m thinking I’m goin to have Henry to the front team and you in the rear. Kyle in the middle. Henry will be the traffic team and you and Kyle will shadow medics/ cameras if the need arises.

I appreciate the advice. That’s why I’m putting Henry up there.

Haven’t met Kyle or if I have it was brief and forgettable. I will assess his abilities when we get there. If he’s been appointed leader, that at least tells me enough.

Do you have any questions or concerns regarding our role as right screen?

Are you available for a meeting around 9 CST in the next few days?

How’d the stenciling go?

Ah. Gotcha

Do not stencil anywhere on that site unless it has existing graffiti there. It is historic after all

This will be the emblem of the future clubhouse. White on a crimson field. I’d live to put this on a white oak plaque as well.

Tonight?

ive messaged Henry and Kyle but no response yet

@all is everyone’s uniform and gear in order?

Keep me updated on the op

GA will be rendezvousing with FL. I haven’t communicated with any NC guys. Looks like AL will be traveling individually. Either way, we can rendezvous with you on the way if you’d like

👍🏻

There will be 5 of us

2 vehicles

Bringing a lot of stuff for the event

That might work. I’ll know more once I receive the location

If going through Asheville is along the way, sure

I have never spoken with Marcus

We very well may. I’m sure he’s meet with GA and FL.

Either way, I’m like you, I’m not gonna go too far out of the way if I don’t have to

Exactly

Still waiting on a response from the other two. Either way, let’s meet on Monday at 9CST for a brief discussion.

I’m estimating around 10 in the morning. We’ll be departing early. Like I’ve said, I’ll know exactly once I receive the location

Roughly, yes

there will be room for you in Norman’s car. You can put your things in his car or the bed of my truck.

You can get a nap in transit

It’s gonna be rough for me too. I’ve been working nights the past 30 days and will wrap up on the 1st.

Ain’t nothing out of the ordinary for us lol

Just winterized clothing/ gear

And plenty of personal lighting

We do

You?

Hmm. May come in handy. We could practice along the way

Alright. Right screen meeting Monday at 9 CST.

You are correct. I will more than likely position your team to the front of the screen. Keep that in mind. We’re having a meeting at 9pm CST Monday to briefly discuss our roles.

@all I want everyone to anticipate leaving very early on the morning of the 3rd. If y’all need to, y’all can crash at my place Thursday night. I expect everyone’s gear to be in order and their uniform neat and clean.

The weather will be between the 30’s and 50’s during our stay so pack accordingly and bring plenty of personal lighting (lanterns, headlamps, flashlights, etc.)

@all if there are ANY questions, now’s the time to ask

also, we are taking 2 vehicles
