Thank you to one and all for a great day and indeed weekend!

Thanks to Lip, Yith and Nige for putting on such an amazingly informative and fun training programme!

Special Kudos to everybody for doing so well at Drill, its not often Yith is left speachless! hehe :good:

Special highlight for me: Assisting Sean in the defense of the Rhodie bush, once you started the attack, I only managed to get 4-5 rounds off before I was rendered subdued by the accurate coverfire. (Well done Craig for a well co-ordinated assault :good: ) The grenade to the top of the Shack I was in left my ears ringing for ages!

Special thanks to Sean the Token German! I Hope you had as much fun as we did! And it was quite something to camp out on Saturday night's Tundra in just a Bivvy bag!

Note to self: Poison mouse for annoying midnight Hooty owl, tranqueliser darts for early morning barky dogs, warmer sleeping bags all around! *Goes on google to look up 'Bivvy bag' 8) *

Last point, it was nice seeing everybody getting stuck into all aspects of the training, seeing some regular faces as well as new (was nice to meet you Stamper, good effort on the long hall up from the west country!)

Thank you Webby, though i thought I was pissing in the wind something terrible...

I've pasted it to a forum in the general US discussion, as we had at least two chaps there who are not 'Doughboys', and so they can then post there if they wish. :good:

It was great to meet all the attendees, fantastic atmosphere and a good laugh. I have many photos to upload but those will have to wait. For now... the teaser trailer!

Just thought I might as well post here.

I lost my Officer's garrison cap after this event. Last I saw of it was at the pub.

Has anyone seen it since?

I did look again since you mentioned it, just to see if it was pilfered by mistake or something, but no joy I am afraid.

Meh, well I did get a replacement from SoF but it's nowhere near as nice as that one was. :(

Surely you were wearing it at the pub, I remember you saluting the children, so it can not have had too much of a chance to wander off outside you car?

Or did you and Nige go to other pubs with it later? :evil:

That's just the thing. I did have it at the pub. But I've not seen it since.

I put all my kit in my airsofting room left it and a week later went on hols. When I got back I had the Tutbury event to go to in Brit kit.

The hat went somewhere safe I suspect, but I'll be damned if I can find out where that might be! I've had the house apart, litterally!

Gah!!... This has just re-appeared!

Where was it found. In the drawer with Brendan's Baby clothes. We don't ever go in there because he doesn't wear them... The only person who could possibly have put it in there was... Brendan!... the little monkey...gah!

Anyway, so that means I now have two officer's garrison caps. Anybody want one in monster size?
