After Action Reports.



Atterbury 2016

Atterbury 2016 was on 10-22-2016.  The Fall battle was a good choice.  Below is the AAR that I sent to Dave Weakley.  Our authenticity was good.  Very few water bottles and I only saw one during lunch break.  The film crew thing was BS and I let the event coordinators know it.  We could do better on lunch - period correct type stuff.  Nothing broke!   Overall good job.

-machine gun in bow position broke (serial number and error recorded)
-the main gun solinoid "sticks" and operates slow the more that it is used

-right engine still hard to start FIXED

The busted stuff list for CCKW:
NA

    *non period correct sunglasses
    *non period correct gloves
    *lunch taken during the battle used all modern packaging
      and was not representative of WWII 
    *mismatched uniforms look unprofessional
    *wrong tires on WC21FIXED


Atterbury 2014


Our authenticity was weak:
    *many plastic water bottles instead of canteens
    *non period correct sunglasses
    *non period correct gloves

Two tanks this year instead of three.  Two trucks.  We need more crew to go to this event!!!


Memorial Day 2015
We got a tank over to Highland Memorial Gardens Cemetery for Memorial Day.  No parts broken!


Comment
I would like to thank all who helped me put on a very good show on memorial day i got a lot of good feedback from a lot of vets', including a lady that drove tanks of the line at the plant.



Thanks for the feedback Glenn!  Got any pics of it out there?
