Hi Slim
Sorry for the confusion. The GAF website lists the criteria for the standard course of fire under the competition page.

Sounds like a great time to be shooting in uniform!
My work schedule is tightening up and I don't see myself with any flexibility, any time soon. Good thing I like my job.

Ya'll have a great one and know that I'll be wishing I was there.
Adios,

Don't forget to get those registrations sent. There's less than 2 weeks to the big day!

Major Matt Lewis · April 02, 2007, 08:43:26 PM

Let's see, this weekend, the truck get's serviced and the ammo gets bought....AND, Jean at James Country should be getting my new Coat to me this week. I just need to get hold of a metal Second Corps Diamond, a USSS Kepi sized wreath and an 1850 Foot Officer's Sword and my Sharpshooters outfit will be ready....

This sounds to be a very fun event. I can't wait.....

Dusty Tagalon · April 05, 2007, 10:28:25 PM

Any slots still open? I am waiting to see if I can get the following Monday off.
If there is room, & I get the following Monday. I can EMail my registration, then pay up when I arrive.

Thanks
Dusty

Pitspitr · April 06, 2007, 06:33:08 AM

That should work Dusty. I'd be glad to have another enlisted infantryman there.

Major Matt Lewis · April 06, 2007, 06:37:13 AM

Dusty,

There are spots still open. I have copied the aaplication in the Roll Call thread.

Pitspitr · April 07, 2007, 06:14:23 AM

E-mail is cnp@nctc.net for anyone interested.

Major Matt Lewis · April 07, 2007, 06:40:12 PM

1. Got the Truck Serviced
2. Bought the Ammo
3. Got my new Uniform from James Country
4. Got my new 1850 Foot Officer's sword
5. Got hotel reservations

Just waiting on that Sharpshooters patch for the kepi to come in. Looked at the weather forcast and will definately be wearing wool next weekend. I can't wait. This shoot is going to kick fanny.

Dusty Tagalon · April 07, 2007, 08:12:15 PM

Any primitive camping spots left?

Thanks
Dusty

Pitspitr · April 08, 2007, 12:27:50 PM

Yes there are.

Major Matt I just hope I won't need the greatcoat

Major Matt Lewis · April 08, 2007, 05:44:25 PM

Well,

I was figuring on bringing it anyway. The long range forcast is telling me to be prepaired. One of those "Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it" deals.

Now, all that said...

6. Got the guncart organized.
7. Cleaned out the truck.
8. Packed my Krag ammo for the GAF Qualification.

Grizzle Bear · April 08, 2007, 07:53:15 PM

Will we have time to qualify with two firearms Sunday? I was bringing the Spencer anyway, but might bring the Trapdoor carbine as well.
