Campout


I just received this message about the past weekend's campout. The classified portions have been deleted and the following report is posted for your enjoyment.

Subj: After Action Report




1. Members of the Creek Tribe were assigned to secure a beachhead, move into the ageing out ceremony and return with coup. Results were mixed. ■■■■■■■■■■■■.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■.

2. Early in the morning of 13 April 07, the Bull family landed and secured a beachfront position. The Creek trailer followed and was pushed into a mainland position under the oak tree. Further families arrived securing the beachhead and the inland trailer position. By sunset on Friday, the Creek tribe had secured both the beachhead and the inland area. The fire ring was established and dinner was prepared.

3. By 0930 on 14 April 07 the tribe breakfasted and secured the beachhead and fortified the Oak Tree area. In the late morning hours Creek tribe troop strength was severely
diminished when units were detached for athletic duty. Senior units remained in place to engage in ageing out ceremony practice and war games. While the former was convincingly accomplished, the war games were significantly more difficult.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■. The Creek tribe had only two
braves able to compete in the war games, however, overmatched and undermanned, the creeks waded into the fray and struggled against insurmountable odds.



4. Reports of increasingly adverse weather conditions, coupled with already high
winds led to the decision to withdraw from the area earlier than scheduled. The Creek tribe took the walk of fire, engaged in the ageing out ceremony and withdrew from the KARS park landing zone without incident. No reports of successful coup awards have reached this author.

It was a great campout, despite the hasty retreat due to the inclemency. I heard "Run away" coming from all the tribal lands, it was as if they'd all seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The nasty winds scored another of our tent poles (snap), I guess I know why this tent was on clearance from Coleman.
