Tyler from Battle Sim.com has been in touch to let everyone know of a Vietnam War era milsim event happening soon in Washington, USA:
WHAT: Airsoft Recondo School – Vietnam
WHERE: MALTBY, WASHINGTON STATE (approx. 1 hr drive from Sea-Tac airport.)
WHEN: 18 -20 AUG 2006
WHO: Hooah Airsoft and Battlesim.com
COST: $65.00 Pre-paid $75 on-site
EVENT SIZE: Limited to 5 6-man Patrol Teams
REGISTER HERE: battlesim.com/…/5289Hooah Airsoft presents Airsoft Recondo School! We taken out all the “fun” stuff from Recondo school and compacted 3 weeks into 3 days! Take out the verbal abuse, sleep deprivation and grueling PT and you are left with the best stuff! The School will be broken down into about 1/4 “classroom” time and 3/4 “field” time. The event is being run by Recondo qualified Ret. Capt. John ‘REMF’ Robison and special guests including several Ranger qualified instructors!
The teams will be broken down into 6-man patrol teams who will learn and drill on patroling techniques, danger zone crossing, movement to contact, re-act to ambush, and hasty ambush against an increasing number of dedicated OPFOR. Patrol teams will be linked together to create raids, rescue teams and ambush teams.
Command in the teams will be rotated around so all those who desire to lead will be given an opportunity to do so.
Check in will begin Friday afternoon and classes will be conducted all day Saturday with a special “Night Operations” class in the evening. Sunday will pit the teams against each other in a Ranger-style competition, against active OPFOR.
Participants are required to wear Vietnam era US gear and kits will be available for those who need them. The OPFOR will be outfitted as NVA Regulars. There are no weapons restrictions but we ask that people try to stay as “period” as possible and bring appropriate weapons.
So, are you ready for the challenge? Get in early because spots are limited!
Thanks.Tyler, (Battle Sim.com)
I know I’d go to this event if I was in the States, so it definitely sounds like an experience that no Mil-Sim fan should miss out on. For more information visit Battle Sim.com.
