This will be my first campaigner event. My dad and I will be falling in with the ONV company. We are flying out all the way from California. It sounds like my time on cross country and track will pay of with all the matching that we will be doing. I have a question regarding registration. What is the address in which I send my dad's and my application? Thanks folk hope to meet all you folk there!

Overall commanders, and company commanders should have a moderate sized message from me in their email In-Boxes. Just a general FYI, CS companies are capped at 22.

Blue Team, The Sherm expects much from you, so get registered.

Re: 150th Battle of Pickett's Mill May 30th - June 1st, 2014

Friends, just a reminder. You are registered with a COMPLETED registration form and funds. If I just get a form and no funds, you are not registered.

Thanks all!

A few of the AG guys had a short, but necessary work day at the site a few weekends back, the leaves are coming in, and all is looking good. The trails are in great condition. (What I consider "great" may differ from you consider "great") I cannot stress enough to be prepared to move around in full marching order (travel light friends) at the event. We aren't going on a 10 mile march, but ravines will be traversed. Get ready to follow in the footsteps of Hazen, Gibson, Govan and Lowery's men.


Path to Victory! or misery, or both. You decide!

Looks like allot of fun! What distance could we expect to traverse on marches?

Kyle- If you are on-the-fence on it: This is a great event and worth the trip from California. When I lived in CT, I flew down for the 2008 event and the land layout/immersion factor is great. Well worth the time and money for a hobbyist that wants a challenge.

As to exact distance, Herb can probably elaborate. :)

Re: 150th Battle of Pickett's Mill May 30th - June 1st, 2014

On the contrary I'm really looking forward to it! The marches are the challenge im really looking forward to. I think my time on varsity track will go to good use. :)
