Well, I survived a week of camping and paintball at the world's largest paintball game (4,000 players). I had the absolute time of my life. Obviously, I have never camped for a week before and there were a couple of nights we had 60mph wind gusts and I started thinking, "What the hell am I doing here?" But, I survived the entire thing and made it back home in one piece! Here are a few pics I took.
My tent:
This is me from a sniping position I took up under a bunker in a tight little crawl space facing the road to St. Mere Eglise from the edge of Vierville that my unit (914th Grenadiers) was defending. I took out a dozen or so guys from a patrol of 2nd Rangers coming down the road before they spotted me and lit my *** up.
Me at the Wehrmacht victory celebration in Colleville when we won after 9 hours of fighting.
A few members of the 914th in front of a 1/6 replica Tiger tank from the 21st Panzer division that provided us with tank support in Vierville and St. Mere Eglise.
Here I am at a dead zone:
I had the idea several months ago to make paint grenades for D-Day so this is the Friday night/Saturday morning before the main game making paint grenades for the next day.
4 Barreled "Double Trouble" that was placed in a gun turret above Omaha beach.
This is the common area. Our tents sort of circled it and we put camo netting up in the middle.
This is part of the 82nd Airborne moving out to their drop zones early Saturday morning.
