| So. Yea, I thought this was funny as hell. Me and the rest of Whiskey is now triing to convince the post commander that we need Speed Ball. We have figured out everything. Even started makeing a presentation. But how do we get balls for it? Does anyone know a really cheap site that can ship, lets say a pallet of balls across the pond? |

Im not sure exactly how that would work as far as shipping but maybe the sites will cut you a deal if you say you are military personnel. Also try calling some manufactures.
I'll try to compile a list of sites/manufactures phone#s/websites and post it later in the week. |

| Oh, don't worry. I figured it out. Reuseable paintballs. Not exactly the same ballistics but, they work. And the C/O is all for it. Now I just have to convince the Brigade Commander. |

| So, there I was! Standing infront of the MWR cheif, the Brigade commander and the Post Commander. And a presentation behind me. It was all perfect. I answered all questions quickly and accuretly, even had pictures and graphes. The time came and the answer I received "No, I still feel it's too dangerouse." .......... So yeah, appearently we can have live weapons and lots of ammo. But, we can't have speedball because someone might scrap a knee. |

| Man, I had stats and everything. Even had PROOF that of the thousands that showed up to Oklahoma D-Day only 11 were hurt. One with a sprained ankle because he jumped out the 5-ton and landed wrong. |

| Yea and one was Bob Long. He took a dive wrong and fractured a rib I think. The others were probably due to dehydration and too much partying the nights before. But yea overall extremely safe sport the only common injuries are not because of the actual play but because of sprained ankles and the like. so its still really shitty that they wont let yall play especially when yall are trained with real firearms and know all the safety that goes along with that. |
