Are you enjoying your Canada day weekend?

I’ve certainly had a busy weekend so far, on Friday in the morning I went to help Jenny move and man for a single girl she has a lot of stuff. It wasn’t too bad though, her bro Jamie and I moved most of the big stuff and Ali well she acted as the foreman. 😉 Later in the evening I hosted an airsoft dusk/night training session and it went pretty well. I might not have any formal training but I have played a ton of night games and I know what works and what doesn’t in airsoft anyway…

LOL I bet it was Oleg who started putting stuff on my vest… Anyway we started off slowly, I had the various groups move through a map with a lot of diverse objects to see how take the area and communicate with each other and boy it was horrible haha. I kept trying to drill in the fact that an area is not clear until you’ve actually been there to see (so many times they’d assume a place is clear yet there was a person hiding there) and to communicate or yell (we weren’t using comms, too complicated) at each other so everyone knows where the contact (hostile or non combatant) is.

By the time the darkness came the various units were working pretty well together though the fact that it’s dark presents a new challenge. Light discipline was excellent which was nice as most airsofters have no idea how to use flashlights and once we drilled in challenge codes there was very little blue on blue friendly fire. The only downside to the training session was, most of the attendees are on the Russian team for Op: Rhino later in the month so I’ll be going up against them very soon. Oh well that’s how it goes right and if I can help raise the level of play then it’ll be worth it.

Saturday I didn’t do too much, cleaned the house a bit and lounged around which was nice. Today is much of the same, there are a few things that I still need to take care of around the house and I have to reinstall the car seat but other than that the plate is pretty clear. Some bad news though, Maggie’s flight has been delayed and will now arrive around 11:55PM instead of 6:45PM… It sucks but they’ll be home soon and that’s all that matters. 🙂
