Per the request of my Company Commander, I have been requested as 2nd Sgt.,
to put forth the following in his temporary absence.
Our CS company is close to full capacity based upon registrations and
commitments; however, we do have 4-5 remaining open spots for the right
men. This company has been successful, privately and internally recruiting
thus far, in an effort to keep various groups together and to attract the
ideal candidates for the ideal period experience.
Though registration closes 2 weeks from today, February 16th, if there are any yet unregistered or unassigned men out there who meet the below qualifications, please PM me so I or the captain may call you and chat with you further about the opportunities and possible openings.
The ideal soldiers will.....
1. Have a great attitude. No, complainers please.....unless it is a
period complaint.
2. Meet the generous impression guidelines. If you are uncertain or have
questions about any of those, please inquire. We are happy to help.
3. Have the ability and desire to remain in first person/immersion for the
weekend. We strongly applaud the organizer's encouragement/expectation of
this aspect and we feel very strongly about this. This is one of the main
reasons we raised this company internally and it is a major expectation at
all levels and ranks. We don't expect folks to know all the period
politics, events, or have to force first person for the sake of first
person, however we do expect no modern subject talk or references that will
ruin the moment for others by drawing their attention away from a period
mindset. (i.e. sports, current events, Simpson's, movies, who is making
the best cartridge box, farbs, someone else's kit, what future events
you're going to attend, etc. We can discuss all this before we go live and
then on Sunday.) Silence is also of course immersive. Basically, just
maintain a 'period mindset.'
4. Good conditioning by the time of the event; which means getting in good
shape and having your feet seasoned to a lot of walking in period footwear.
You also may be asked at times to run with all of your kit/gear. There is
still time to get in shape, but we are looking for those who are dependable
and can commit to this. We aren't asking you to be a long distance runner,
but sure you understand. The mere fact you are coming to a tough event already speaks volumes as to the type of campaigner you really are.
5. Understand we, and every man in this company, are looking for as rich a
period experience as possible; and will do all each can to provide that
experience for you, everyone else in the company and those we interact with
outside the company. This company is, and will be a band of brothers. We
aren't perfect, and don't claim to be. But we have committed to giving
the best effort and preparation to each man as possible.
We will be very happy to provide more information to those hard-chargers,
we have just described. I look forward to hearing from you. Now let's get busy...
Very Best Regards.
