August 5-7, 2011

It is the ATTENDEE's responsibility to read all updates in the Operation Lightning Strike forum.

Registration Fee:

• $150 for non-alumni
• $120 for alumni of past Lion Claws series three-day Ops such as Lion Claws, Hac Bao, Irene, Northern Wind, Night Scorpion, Red Storm, BullDog, etc.
• $90 for OPNL 2011 alumni (ensure you select the correct previous experience for your discount!)

A non-refundable deposit of $40 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.

Balance payment due Sunday July 9th, 2011.

Last day for D.O.R. (Drop On Request) is July 16, 2011 with balance refund only (not deposit). No refund after July 16, 2011!

Minors are not allowed at this AO, sorry.
