Extra Clothing Items (As needed)

1) Please do not bring unnecessary items as we will have limited space.
2) If you don’t have something, don’t seat it! Just do the best you can.
3) Accountability of personal equipment is extremely important because of tight space and quick movement. DO NOT LEAVE YOU EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNAL ITEMS LYING AROUND THE CP! IF YOU DON’T NEED IT- DON’T BRING IT!
4) RATIONS and other Chow! Make your own- get a few cans of chicken or tuna, some crackers, instant coffee, stew, soup, etc. No obviously modern food, no exposed beer or soda cans, no modern trash. If we see it, you will be directed to return it to your car.
5) Trash! Pick up your trash and secure it appropriately in any of a number of trash cans!

We appreciate your participation and cooperation. We are working hard to ensure you have a “period-correct” WWII ETO experience!

If you have questions, contact me via email and I will post your question on the forum if it is important to the unit.

Don’t forget your blank ammo!
