Well, looks like it could be a very long few months ahead >.=.<
As some of you may know I own and run an airsoft field here in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Last year we held an airsoft operation called the Invasion of Oklahoma. Basically our Oklahoman forces joined with conscript forces from Arkansas to fight invading forces from Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Illinois, ect. We had an astounding 121 players out at the match and besides a few administration problems we had a great event.
The problem is this year >.=.> We are going to host a second invasion this year and have just started with getting all of the planning ready. We already have a date set for 4-27-07 which isn't giving me much time at all >.=.< We still need to finish our new entrenched fire base, which means we need to get a large backhoe out here again, which means I need to find about $380. After we get the second half of the system dug, we'll need to figure out the drainage system, then we've got 6,000 sand bags which need to be filled and placed. After we've got those steps done I'll need sure up the walls and roof it. We will then be able to cover the roof back over with plastic sheeting and dirt. There is also a 10ft tall tower which needs to be built and placed in the middle of the firebase. This means that we will also have to buy wood for the walls, roof, and tower along with some plastic sheeting.
There's also the problem with getting the new armerments we need. We will need to buy a mortar for the mortar pit in the firebase, and we are going to get about 50 toe-poper land mines. We will need to get all of this from the guys in KC (Kansas City) which means I'll be taking another nice long road trip up there.
Right now "we" (as in I have had no say in this as of yet) are speculating that the match will cost $10 per person to attened. There has also been talk of getting some food for all those in attendance, something we did at another op we held a few months ago. The food costs nearly $5 dollars a plate which would be half of the income right there. We would also get drinks which is another chunk of change. I need to get a new solid OD uniform since I will be on administration as well. It also seems as though we will need to purchase unit patches and region tapes for our troops.
And now for administartion problems. We must make sure that all of our forces have the correct green camoflouge, unit patches, region patches, obide by all OK and KA rules and regulations, have the proper saftey goggles, are armed correctly, and above all are well organized.We have a specific command structure for this event and we (Ok forces) must choose who will be in what positions.

I'm going to have to quickly find people for the positions, but I don't even know who is, as of yet, even going to attened the op. We don't have nearly as many well trained members in the OK area as do the invading forces though hopefully we will get some help from our friends to the South, but if Texas is against us, I feel there is no hope.
Well besides the financial and administrative hell I am about to encounter I must now throw my school classes into the mix (something I have had plenty of stress with alone) I'll need to keep up with my AP Lit, AP Physics C, AP Calc AB, AP Calc BC, and my Civil and Architectural Engineering class at Tulsa Technology Center. Oh wait, I forgot! I'm also already in debt $250 from I prior transaction in Oct. which I was not properly informed about, and another $200 from a trip I had to make up to Kansas City in my Deuce and a half to get those previously mention 6,000 sand bags! Oh the joy! I can feel the insanity, stress, and ulceres coming on already >.=.<
Well, I guess that I'm done with this rant. Oh yeah, I'm so very screwed now. I'll probably be having problems with this till after the match so you can just ignor any of my further cries of pain >.=.>
