Camping and Staging area change....

All,

A real military unit has need of the base camp/staging area we used for Op Irene 4 and 5 on the same weekend as OPI 7 is scheduled. Given this situation, we will using the area nearer to the AO that we used for this purpose for Op Irene 3, for those who remember. This area is a big open field, some dirt and some grassy areas. It is much larger than the other area, but it does not have an electricy nor does it have a shower house. We will have lighting and port-0-johns on site, as usual. We apologize for any inconvenience in advance and hope you understand the real units take priority in this training environment. On a good note however, this area is much much closer to the AO....within walking distance even

Please see the "General Site Event Site Orientation and Safety" post for updated information on this, and times concerning walking the AO after check in on Friday. Thanks.

that actually is pretty cool....got frustrating waiting for the buses when all you wanted to do is get back to the camp to cool off...

The Heavy Drops like this....

What is the earliest we can get in and set up a campsite, i guess i'm just ready to escape Mississippi for a while, lol...

Read the warning order. The time line is spelled out along with other valuable information you will need to know. Gates open on Friday at 13:00 (1:00 pm).

As Lt Dan said, 1300....no need to get there any sooner, will be plenty of room for camping. A Unit that is training there will be clearing on Friday also, not sure at this point when the AO will be open to walk over. It all goes well, it will be 1300 also, if not, any snags, could be a little later. Staging and camping area will open at 1300 regardless.
