Re: Military Veterans Meetup

I don't think that will happen with the alternate event this year. Checkout the other forum area. https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=753

What he said. ^^^

This thread is closed because this event has been cancelled. An alternate event started by Blakdayz has its own forum which is not cancelled. See the URL above.

This thread is now closed. If you want to provide a comment on the cancelled event, I have a thread here:

Any progress with the Defcon coin?

Re: Military Veterans Meetup

Lets call it the *unOfficial* Armed Services Vet Meetup. New venue will be the Masquerade Bar. I will write a more detailed writeup on the new forum.

The description for the event to be run by ThePrez98 was "TBA" with links to a webpage/site and twitter, it still is.

The description for the forum I just created for what you describe is just "TBA"

Here is that NEW forum with the requested name: https://forum.defcon.org/forumdisplay.php?f=753

It is listed right next to the event by thePrez98 which is cancelled this year. Its name will be revised to be prefixed with "CANCELLED".

I read DT's comment on some vet meetup happening as approval, but I also emailed Nikita, Pyr0 and you for the other details and to keep them in the loop. Feel free to take over that conversation; with DT's comment, I have what i needed to make a forum.

Thanks!

Re: Military Veterans Meetup

Thanks ThePrez98. Sorry you wont be there this year, but good luck on your finals. :-)

Blakdayz: What did you want to call this alternate event, and what description would you like for a forum for it? I can make a new forum for it, and we can direct people to it from here with comments about one not happening but an alternate being available.

Re: Military Veterans Meetup

Just to clarify: I'm postponing the unofficial DEFCON Military Veterans Security Meetup this year. There is no single reason why, but having to coordinate a bunch of different pieces without being able to attend is one of them. Rest assured we will be back again next year, and hopefully at other cons, too. A number of people have offered to take over and for that I am grateful. At this point, I feel like it would not be a sufficient amount of time to put together a worthy event.

If people want to run another event in its place, that's certainly in their prerogative and I wish them all the best!

Re: Military Veterans Meetup

The Irish pub is currently closed. We will announce an area soon.

Re: Military Veterans Meetup

I'm looking for a new point of contact for this year's military veterans meetup. Let me know if you're interested...

So this years meetup will be at the Irish Pub @ Rio on 8 PM Friday evening. Next year we should be back in full swing with a room and bar. This may change, and if it does - folks will post updates here.

Irish song chanting will be required. ;)

I'm a Marine Mom and not a vet, but I stopped by last year. It was a lot of fun. Thank you all for your service and your sacrifices.

Re: Military Veterans Meetup

You're correct, I can't read. Good job W@Rp7!




I do believe blakdayz has a hand in dc101 stuff (if not directly then he can link you to people). I drop him a line and tell him to get on here astcell.




I'll be somewhere in that time frame as well. Only difference is I haven't been around since General Washington old man.

I don't deal with dc101 directly, but I can forward this to those that do. Also - what about a DC Groups [Vet Edition/All Welcome] Meetup? That I can do ;)_

Re: Military Veterans Meetup

bon3z give the credit for that line to W@Rp7.

You're correct, I can't read. Good job W@Rp7!

There were a LOT of us, and I bet there are even more who did not get the word. Don't suppose we can get a mention either at opening ceremonies or DC101?

This gathering will be a watershed moment for me as I will be 90 days out from retirement. So NEXT year I'll have a cane and shoo you off my grass.
