I had to post another non-paintball related post for Memorial Day. Coming from a military family, being a “former” Marine and having a sister and brother-in-law currently serving in the Army (not to mention countless friends in the different services) Memorial Day, for me, is not just about being the day that the pool opens, or having a day off of work to BBQ and spend time with friends.
I hope everyone can take a minute from splashing around in the pool, grilling hot dogs outside, or licking drippy ice-cream cones to think about the reason for the day. 3pm on Memorial Day has been designated as a moment (and just a moment - 1 minute total) of remembrance to honor all those that have died for our freedom.
I wanted to take a break from all the paintball chatter to sincerely THANK all of our veterans for the sacrifices and danger they put themselves in for all of our sakes. I also want to thank all of the men and women who are currently deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, etc. and whom are in harms way today.
I want to recognize both my little sister, and her husband John (both Captains in the Army) for all that they do. My sister is currently deployed, and John will be deploying in the next couple months. (This is a picture of them when they took a day on their R&R, right before Danielle deployed, to spend with us playing paintball in August at Skyline. That’s dedication. ) Thank you guys for all that you do!
If you’re one of our “regulars” each month and have a friend or family member currently serving overseas (or if you’re currently serving in the military), please leave a comment to let us know & we will recognize you and them on our Memorial Day Post.
For more details/to carpool, please contact us! (To contact us if you don’t have our email or cell numbers, just leave a comment anywhere on the blog and we’ll get back to you ASAP!)
Thank you to everyone who came out March 29th to make it a successful game!

March Paintball "Honorable Mentions"
Hard Core:
Caron for making a suicide run in the last 30 seconds on the Choke Point field to make it to the flag - if it hadn't been for a trip-up on the bridge she probably would have made it!
Best Run:
Best "kamikaze" run goes to the Blue Team who thought they could make a suicide run on the Fort and took being pelted with paintballs with pride. :)
New Folks:
Angie, Matt, Pierce, Piere, Gary, Dave, Lauren, Todd, Patrick, and pretty much the entire Yellow Team!
Since we’re getting more interest from individuals under the age of 18 I thought it’d be prudent to add this section for kids 17 and under, as well as their parents:
* Please note, that all Paintball fields require a waiver to be signed. That waiver must be signed by the parent or guardian of any person under the age of 17. We will NOT sign for anyone who has not gotten their parents signature/consent to play.
* While safety is #1, we are not babysitters for anyone under the age of 18. If you send your child with us, know that we will do our best to watch over them and keep them safe, but their health and safety is their own responsibility.
* We assume that anyone that comes to play paintball with us is paying their own way.
* We do carpool, but in order to carpool with us, you must have the means of getting to our house; we do not pick up people at their houses.
* If you are under the age of 18 and are interested in playing with us, but you or your parents have additional questions, go to the "Newcomers" section or leave us a comment on this website and we’ll get back to you within 24-48 hours.
