October 31 - November 2, 2008

It is the ATTENDEE's responsibility to read all updates in the Operation Lion Claws forum.

Registration Fee: $160 for alumni of LC series events, $190 for non-alumni. $30 discount coupon available from Title Sponsors (each Sponsor is responsible for distribution of these coupons and it is at their prerogative).

A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required at time of registration. This policy is to reduce 'professional register-ers' who simply wanted to holdup a slot for no reason.

This deposit is NONREFUNDABLE, NONTRANSFERABLE (unless it's due to a major disaster and the OP had to be rescheduled), and NONFORWARDABLE. In short, until your deposit is in, your NAME IS NOT ON THE LIST. This is to avoid deadbeats holding up space for no reason.

No Foreign Nationals Allowed by federal law due to the sensitive nature of this military training facility. You may be asked for proof of citizenship by military security at Ft. Hood.

Balance payment due September 30, 2008.

Last day for D.O.R. (Drop On Request) is October 12, 2008. No refund after October 12, 2008!

Registration fee covers:

• Commemorative shirt
• Commemorative Patch
• Raffle ticket
• Simulate wargame via airsoft on Saturday (fullday) and Sunday (half a day) at HMF and EMF MOUT facilities

• POVs are not allowed to roam the base for safety reasons; it's a live fire training zone and you maybe mistaken for a 'moving target' by tank crews.
