A few of us have been chatting about this in the shout box and figured that others might be interested in this as well. No specific dates set yet as the producers are given very short notice by the US Army that they can use the MOUT CTF and various other ranges.  Once dates are announced I'll update the thread.

Some of you may have heard about this and it is everything and more.  I was at the first OPP and it completely changed my view of airsoft and what it can be.

Tentative plans are to head out Thursday and come back Sunday or Monday.  Warning, you WILL need a day or 2 to recover from this event.

You know you can count me and Justin in Severed

I am definitely up for going to this event.  Would be nice to geta nice SC turnout for the game.  I knw it's not a cheap event, but you get training and 20 hours of continuous play at a MOUT facility that the 10th Mountain Division uses.  It doesn't get much better than that guys.

You know I've never watched that vid... All the ACU guys you see in formation and then running at the beginning, that's my team from CT!!!

If you guys go, count me in.

I'm going to put together a suggested loadout/supply list tonight or maybe tomorrow at work.  It'll be what I'm bringing so you can adjust as you see fit as I tend to bring a little more than what is necessary.  Better to have it and not use it than need it and be SOL or bumming.

I will continue posting operation specific info in this thread.  There has been a private team discussion created for people that are planning on going to discuss specifics

[mod]PM SteevoLS or Garrett if you actually plan on going and you'll be given access to the private discussion for this game.[/mod]

You can count me in.

  Anything new to report? This sounds like the ultimate milsim, and training too!

Last I heard, almost everyone had backed out (from SC) for various reasons.

Registration for this event is closed.
