Re: military veteran meetup

FYI, If you get me your infoz by monday i can sneak it in to the program stuff at the last minute. I'm currently compiling the data for the program for speakers and other infoz so it's not that big of a deal. The deadline for program materials is actually today. the deadline for RFI via pyro was a while back.

I'll keep DT's comment below in mind and over the weekend make sure to remind him and we find the space. I know the floorplan is pretty packed full of events happening here and there but I'm willing to at least try to find a spider hole for you guys to rendezvous. ( okay that was cheesy of me )

Dakahuna and I are talking about using the Wireless Village, either from 7-8PM on Friday or after 8PM if the powers-that-be are OK with it. As long as there are no other objections (the WV was already planning to use this space til 8) we're hoping to have it there.

I will get the info to you tomorrow, and thank you! :-)

Re: military veteran meetup

Nikita informed us in a tweet tonight that we were approved to use the Wireless Village space for this meeting. Therefore, the party, uh, I mean meetup is officially on. Please spread the word to all the military Veterans that you know who will be at Defcon. Watch this space for more specifics on place and times.

Re: military veteran meetup

I don't suppose anyone here has a GP Medium we can put up in the parking lot? :-)

I'd burn that thing to the ground! Hate the GP Mediums and drash tents we gotta use.

I'll find time in my work schedule to make it here and swap stories. Thanks for throwing this together prez

How to tell military stories:

Army: "There we were..."
Marines: "There I was..."
Navy: "Call me Ishmael. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely..."
Air Force: "This one time, at band camp..."

What about the National Guard or the Coast Guard? How do their stories begin?

The NG stories I've heard always started with 'One time, on the 3rd Saturday of the month...'

so are you checking dd214's at the door, or is it a just show up kinda deal?

Re: military veteran meetup

Ooh I'd love to see a poser show up and try to pass himself off as a vet. I already have a blast outing them in person when I see them.

But to answer your question, I'll have my CAC card. :-)

We're expecting you to have a valid DD-214 as well as a secondary form of documentation, such as a VA Home Loan Certificate of Eligibility or notarized CCCAF/AARTS/SMART transcripts. Failing that, we'll accept you for a beer and a good story.

Re: military veteran meetup

Not that I don't trust you guys but my CAC is staying home.

If my retired ID ain't good enough then nothing is ;-)

I still say the Navy's stories start with " This ain't no shit .... "

C'mon...you should do a demo on gleaning info from the CAC in the Wireless Village. What could possibly go wrong? :)
