Retired but not dead

[dorsai]

I see a few old familiar faces here in the hot tub, so before
we get side tracked telling of old war stories, let me take a
few moments of your time to extend an invite all of you
vets of more wars than I care to remember. Come and join
me and a few of my long time friends for one last battle.
Even if your knees aren't good enough to let you scramble
the way you used to back in 84-85, you've still got a wealth
of talent locked away in that brain of yours that can be used
to help teach these new kids on the block how to avoid some
of the costly lessons we all had to learn the hard way.

What I'm asking you to do, is to consider joining the 'Allied
Command' at next year's Oklahoma D-Day. Ok, I know there
may be some of you who'd say why travel all the way out
there, when there's plenty of games closer to home. My reply
to that is that there isn't another event that even comes
close to this one. Consider this, you'd be a member of the
world's largest teams with close to 2,500 players. Then there's
the fact that this event isn't just about one day's action, but
an entire week's worth.

Ok already, enough with the speach, it's almost time for me
to call it a day, so what exactly would you be asked to do?

As I noted, you've got knowledge and in the military that's
the same as power, at least that's been my observation from
having worked with them for so many years. You can pass
it along or you can take it with you, the call is yours. We need
good leaders, people who know how to lead and motivate, as
well as people to lead training sessions. Yes, I sad training
sessions. We also need people who can work radios and no
I'm not talking about those outdated CB units we all used to
lug around, instead these are state of the art military rigs, or
their civilian counterparts. We also need people willing to do
a host of other things we never dreamed we'd be doing in a
paintball scenario. Things like providing logistical support,
running intel missions on as well as off the field, tracking enemy
troop movements and the list goes on.

If you're wondering when this event is, it starts around June
8th and runs through the 15th. In between those dates you'll
find 7 mini scenarios, some with as many as a 1,000 players,
including a night event. There's all the speedball anyone cares
to play, as well as a SPPL qualifying event, a parade and yes
even a costume (period uniforms only please) contest. Add to
all that better than 5 acres of vendors a playing field that takes
up most of 80 acres and a total of close to 15,000 other die hard
paintball junkies on the site.

For more details visit their main D-Day website
D-Day Adventure Park - Home , or just drop me a note. One more detail
and it's an important one. I am not paid by the people who host this
event, nor do I receive any compensation of any sort for the work I
perform on behalf of the Allied Command. I do this because I see
where paintball has been and I see where it's headed and I want all
my old friends to be there with me when the rest of the world finally
catches on to the fact that this sport has taken our advice and
returned to it's roots.

Sincerely,
