Operation Aurora Sept. 29th and 30th

[Canto]

Doc and Team RAGE,

Great event guys I had a hell of a good time. Nice job guys.

[Tex]

Thanks to all who came out. It was a lot of fun hanging out with all of you and hootin and hollering, dancing, and just all around having fun out there. The night game was ridiculous for me, 13 knife kills, and being hunted by Darcness, quality fun.

Big thanks to Corey for letting me use that wonderful M60... I am truly in love! (gotta love the vibrations, I have nothing else to say).

And a big thanks for all of your cooperation in the event, but shame on the 60 who didn't even show up. Don't sign up if you aren't coming! Grr!

Hopefully we can get a big group out here and push 100, definitely could hold more than the 80 we had.

And just a friendly reminder... our field is filled with sand, break down those guns and clean them out, I promise that there is tons of it inside them!

Had a blast at this operation, definatly the best operation I've ever been to. I cannot wait until I see more pictures, those ones of me and Livonia in the bush look amazing, and it's now my background

Thanks to everyone who had a good time and enjoyed themselves, I know this event was a lot of work so thanks to Doc and his family for sure with the food and the overall busy stuff. I enjoyed being a field moderator for this one a lot because there were a lot of questions that needed to be answered so I did that. But overall, 10/10 is what I would give this OP and I can't wait to see more pictures

Damn, I really wish I would have (could have) gone...when's the next game at this field? It looks awesome!

Oh, and needs more pictures!

Thanks to Doc and the rest of Team Rage that helped make this event such a success. By far this was one of the best run airsoft events that I have been to, baring a few thing here and there. Great turnout, and lot's of trigger time made it a fun two days.

Thanks a lot to Docs parents for making wonderful food, the burgers were excellent and breakfast was quite welcoming, thanks!

Rogue, you make a good point, I too saw that there were many players running with safety shop glasses, there are too many stray shots that could and can go into the gaps of the goggles. Please, anyone that runs with safety shop glasses or anything of the sort, invest in some goggles. You're eyes are priceless.

I hope everyone had a good time, I had a blast. It was really cool getting to know people better and meeting new faces. I thought there was a good turn out, but it was disappointing that about 60 people didn't show up. other than that my arm is killing me from racking back my m24 so many times I have nothing else to say.

Thanks again to all that showed up

[2nd LT. RedGunn]

Thanks Doc and Rage for hosting this one! It was a blast. And thanks goes out to Blindshot for loaning me a M24 mag so I could use my new rifle.

Here are some pictures my girlfriend took during the weekend. She took approx. 150, obviously that's a little too many to post. But she will be putting more of them on our website, I will keep you posted!

as this is getting to be a big issue This is now the rule for all. Full Seal eye protection is required for this event. If you have any question on this, feel free to pm me or Tex here on the forums. If you dont now have full seal eye protection MOA has some for rent or you can go to the local wal-mart or any other store such as that and pick up a paintball mask.

Rouge thank you for bringin this out.

Well, What can I say guys? This "rule" was nothing but a joke as about half of the players were allowed to play with whatever they brought which were NOT full seal goggles. I am taking this personally because Vern made a point of replying to my previous post as stated above and then just blew it off when I asked him about it saturday morning. It's your field ,Doc so run it your way but I don't think you should continue to be associated with MIA if safety to you is a joke. I won't be returning to your events for this reason and would encourage any others who value safety to do the same.It's only a matter of time before something happens under those conditions and it's not just for the person (s) involved but also for the bad press it would generate for the sport.I for one do not want to be there to witness that.

For one any one that knows me for any amount of time knows how i feel about safe play. As for the eye protection that was worn out there on the MOA field, It was with in the proper safety regs as have always been in effect at all MOA events.

I personal inspected everyones eye protection that was questioned and it was all with in the proper scope of safety and what is required by MOA, and all other field events I have been at through MIA/MOA.

Rouge sorry you feel this way, But I do not take safety lightly. Thanks for coming and playing.

Kojak, was she the one in the Red hoodie? If soooooooo tell her I wanna see the pics of ME! I have nothing else to say, and thank her for following me and taking some, I appreciate it, I tend to never end up in the pictures playing the sniper role.

[kojak]

No, that's not her. She wore an orange Lakeshore Tshirt and a NY Yankee hat.

[O'Dwah]

Damn, some sweet ass action shots of myself, tell her nice job Kojak!

[Tex]

Ohhh, her, if she got any of me she gets a high five. Otherwise tell her thanks, airsoft pictures are priceless!

[Livonia]

Its been about a year since someone has actually gotten pictures of me in the field, I'm very happy. Had a blast.


EDIT: two clips from the game. Sorry the good one of Tex is sideways, these were off my still camera.

Amazing event Doc, well done. I saw the glasses people were wearing along with myself and while not an airtight seal they were all more than enough to keep any bb's from ANY ANGLE AT ALL FROM ENTERING. I though that the safety was handled very well and hope the same rules which proved safe at the event remain in place. I had a lot of fun, and am a little soar from the carrying of people, but other than that still just geeked about the event. I will definately be attending all future MOA events after this one. It was nice to meet a lot of new people and catch up with some old friends.
