2009 Oklahoma D-Day

at least 1000 people come in only for the main game and many people are put of shape

FYI, Druid broke an arm and isn't going to be
able to make it, but there'll still be plenty
of targets regardless of which side you pick.
Last chance to pick your unit is upon you, so
pick now, otherwise you never know where they
will put you.

Sincerely,

Registered this weekend for the 1ST ID, this will be mine and my son's first trip out to this great event.

im going to try and make it.

My Fiance and I will be there, I already took the Days off From work......

I would really love to consider doing a week long event, but physically I think it might kill me. I could barely walk for two days after doing the Tippmann World Challenge. The description of the bathrooms isnt too enticing either. lol. I think until I can get a group together to rent an RV, I will have to keep dreaming.

On site camping will run you 5 bucks for the week and
that includes use of the showers. Food is reasonable,
as is the variety of things to choose from. Bring a
small grill or team up with others in your group and
fix your own to save even more. Some folks rent a RV
or bring a motor home and again some split the cost.
Neosho, MO is about 20 minutes drive to the east. It
has several food places, but only a couple motels &
all are filled long before the event, so book early
if you plan to stay there. There's also a super-walmart
there for those who need last minute items, food, etc.

im definatly goin to try to make it out. annyone have an idea on how much money i should bring for a hotel/food/play/paint/gear/ ect?

FYI,

Anyone who knows me at all knows I'm always looking for
a way to create greater interest in getting folks to take
part in the Annual Oklahoma D-Day Event.


I did that almost three years ago by bringing in a group
named 1 Shepherd, to help teach a small group of the Allied
staff and players some basic tactics. That effort was well
received, not to mention successful. They then returned last
year and offered anyone who elected to take one of their
courses a variety of useful leadership and tactical skills.
They've now advised me they'll be returning once more this
year and that they're once again going to be expanding their
program so that players will either be able to take the course
using ones own paintball guns, or one of the firm's 'real
steel' MILEs 2000 equipped weapons.

They've even secured a vendor spot next to the Mexican cantina,
in the vendor's area to make it easier for folks to find them!
The two course options they'll be offering this year include;

1. A paintball-platform class will run every morning, Monday
thru Friday at a cost of $25 per participant.

2. A MILES-platform class every afternoon Monday thru Friday
at a cost of $75 per participant. (includes use of either M-16,
AK-47 or RPK light MG, and all necessary blanks).

Anyone wishing to reserve a spot in either of their classes
better get over to their website and reserve a slot soon!

Their website address is -
1 Shepherd

NOTE: I am not a paid representative of 1 Shepherd nor do I
stand to gain in any way from making this announcement. 1
Shepherd is no longer associated with the Allied Command and
will not, in any way be involved with our mission planning
or tactical operations.


Sincerely,

Andrew Van Der Plaats
S-1 Allied Command
