This is a good video of the history of the actual 82nd Airborne. It has some great shots.

There's nothing thing wrong with cookies, slick posters and good looking women, but if you're looking for more than that in a D-day unit, the 82nd may be for you. It may not be for everyone, but if you want to be part of the "Tip of the Spear" the 82nd is your unit.

Im in 1st ID but I must say the 82nd really saved my butt a couple of times on that beach. Very friendly guys in the 82nd from what I could tell in the very short time I was fighting alongside them.

With just a little over 7 months to go, the Allied Command is ramping up
it's recruiting efforts. You might think that 7 months lead time is a bit
much, but trust me on this, it's barely enough time to put all the pieces
into place so that when that horn sounds on J8ne 15th all 2,500 of our
members will not only know what they have to do they'll also have the
skills to accomplish their missions.

Covering close to 800 acres, that's right I said 800 not 80, this event is
more than just a one or two day scenario. Almost as soon as the players
begin to arrive, there's an afternoon mini-scenario on the 10th to help kick
things off. That's followed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by two
similar events per day.

Some people skip these, choosing instead to take part in the regional SPPL
qualifying event, or in one or more of the specially designed training courses.
Of course there's more to do than just play and that's where the vendor's
show and nightly speedball events come in. There's even a parade and
costume contest on Friday afternoon if you're looking to go all out. Players
who want to sit this one out, but who still want to be a part of things can also
enlist as radio operators, combat camera operators and logistical support
staff, so as I noted at the top there's arole for everyone regardless of your
talent or physical abilities.

Here's a few clips we've put together to help give you a better sense of
what's going on, both on and off the field as well as a view of the entire
field, camp and vendor's area.

If after seeing these you've still got questions about what unit to join, or
some other relates aspect, feel free to drop me a line or better still give
my office a call..

It's not for everyone, but if you're prepared the 82nd might be for you.

Yes you can still Register. If you have already registered and not sure if it went through, then go to D-Day Adventure Park - Home and then find the Bunker's phone number and call it and ask if your reg. went through.

And good choice of picking the Darkside. Redneck Grunt, send me a pm if I was the one who recruited you.

While the 82nd Airborne Division is well known for stalling the German advance at
Bastone, their history in WWII is full of other famous battles as well. June 6, 1944,
or D-Day, was another time when the allies wouldn't have been as successful as
they were if it hadn't been for the 82nd. Come and join one of the Allied Command's
three Airborne units as we fight to free France!
