Paint Ball Mania

D-Day 2008 Officers and NCOs of 327th Glider Infantry Regiment Me and Anita Here in San Angelo
Me With My Arsenal
As some of you know, I am addicted to paintball. These are just a few pictures we have taken. I play in a very large scale "re-enactment" of the D-Day invasion of WWII. In this game I am a member of the 101st airborne division in the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment. The game is held annually in Oklahoma in June. It is in fact the largest paintball game in the world. The organizers of the game set objectives to accomplish similar to the real objectives of the invasion. Last year there were over 4,500 people that played in the game. The unit I am in is famous (at this game) for their skill and performance. In 2008 the 327th GIR took everyone of our assigned objectives in some cases in record time. D-Day Oklahoma is sponsored by many large international P-Ball companies. I am very excited for this coming year. In the excitement I was on the Internet looking at stuff about D-Day OK. As I searched I came across a companies web site that sponsors the game. I was astonished to find they had pictures of the 327th. I was even more surprised to see a pic of me. I just want to brag a little. This is an international P-Ball company and I am on their website. PRETTY FREAKIN' COOL!!! I of course want everybody to check it out. So if you are interested go to www.jtusa.com/?dday and look at the still photos. The picture of me is on the second row the last picture, I'm givin' a thumbs up. There are two or three pictures with my friend Brandon. Anyway I just wanted to say that this is AWESOME.

I agree with Celeste, that looks like WAY too much fun. Congrats. I wish I could come this year, but I'll be a bit occupied... :-) Cool post above, Anita. I loved the slideshow. That was a great weekend!
