12 hr Semi Immersion Tweeners?

Alright fella's,

Aka "Night Patrols," this ideer is in the semi-finalizing stages, so here goes:

Squad(s) of four (three minimum) deployed to find locations, physical objects, or complete objectives.

Participants form afternoon and depart Friday dusk. Saturday 9 AM (ish) participants rendezvous. Return to parking.
Optional; Sat revise objectives. Repeat Sat night with same/new participants.

This is to focus on map, terrain, compass reading, camping skills, exercise.
Generate CW interest, new recruit training,

This idea is along the lines of Giggity Arnold's mini-event post last month. It's not meant to interfere with the "established" events on your Mess schedule. They are meant to be as close to immersion as possible. I have more info but it's not fit for public consumption at this printing.

So there,
Josh

Josh, yes yess yesss.

I like the idea. An event teaching/testing the "basic soldier skills."

Do the period repop compasses have a loop where a length of dummy cord can be affixed in the form of a lanyard?

Will the stearite candle have a red lense? ;D

Great idea. NAVEX 2007 is on its way....

chuckle... I swear this is the spot! My way point says so.

Chuck, for you, even work up a scenario for a cook.
