The muddy water boys were a great group to play with and I oogled wes's super cocker for a bit. They mentioned "turkey ball" a game they have every year in november. I may have to make it up for that next year.

Ah, then you may have seen me, because the Muddy Water Boys all clustered around the wife and I's table out in the main recball area before heading out for the day. I was in my mostly dark Hawaiin shirt, BDU camo pants, black combat boots, and my signature JT sock hat. Have to find each other next time and fling some paint together.

And I know what you mean about the overshooting - I make sure to hold my gun out first and use "sergeant voice" to announce I'm coming around the corner. Had several games teammates and I were scampering around the pillars clearing portions of the field and had to keep yelling out team colors to keep from being friendly fire casualties.

Slacker.

No, we figured you had school or work or something, we understand real life > paintball. How's your school and work going, by the way? When do you graduate?

[Silver]

Work has been going good! Im hoping to take over as a shift lead or maybe as. manager soon... and school is pretty much fantastic! Love my degree program (Business Management) I'm on track to graduate Spring 2013. Actually getting my bacholers in 4 years, most of my friends are on track for a 5 year degree suckers.

I'm gonna make it out soon. I have stripped/cleaned my markers all at least twice in the past week... my trigger finger is getting antsy.

Yep! So far the schedule looks like this...

Our Home Games...
Raid on Natzweiler - Dropzone - April 7
Santa Claus Down - Dropzone - November 3

Away Games...
The Edge - March 3
Black Hawk Down - OK D-Day - April ???
Ardennes Sector - Castle Rock (formerly Homeland) - May ???
D-Day - Like You Have to Ask

Maybe Games...
Monte Casino


And we'll be throwing "official" rec days together as well, though those are usually planned out a month or so in advance.

I myself am only guaranteed to be at the March 3rd game at the Edge and maybe Santa Claus Down. Kristen's due in early May, so I get to be a new daddy I definitely won't be at the late April games (BHD, Ardennes Sector) or the summer games (D-Day).

RON on April 7th? I was thinking maybe SPE later in the month, but that's a lot further away, and I could stay for free with family on this one. *hmmm* Have to think on it. If you can, post the games in the Big Game/Scenario section, and if you don't want to do it, send me links and particulars and I'll do it.

I'll be posting them once I have a more comprehensive set of details.

Hey guys, in a PBnation thread, Jaegers said they'd do a pump tournament if they got some more interest. Let them know here:

Jaegers 2 Man YOUNG GUNS Beginner's Tournament

[BlueDragonX]

Only problem is, most of us aren't "young guns"

[Kraus]

Read the thread, he was taking suggestions for tournaments. Said he'd consider doing a pump tournament (non-young guns) if there was enough interest.

I don't go to PBN. Lack of strong support? Could be their lack of presence here... On the other hand, it's a difference in attitude. I'd never go to Jaegers at all if there were other places open in the winter and people I knew didn't go there.
