Redback Garrison

ok I know this is a little late, but here it is

Date: 22nd - 23rd May 2010

Venue: Townsville Sports Reserve

Time: 1500 - 0900 hrs

Mission: to raise awareness to the galaxy about cancer

Trooper Attendance: seantrooper - TK

Support Crew: mum, nan,

Detail: arrived at 1230hrs to set up camp at invasion site, my gonk was left to guard the camp whilst I went ewok hunting for some lunch. Armoured up just before the opening lap and stood at the sidelines saluting the survivors, it was great seeing their faces light up when they saw me I walked for the first hour and got recorded on the local inhabitant's 'video camera' for the news broadcast (muppet can confirm this haha). I ended up putting the armour on about 4 times over the entire event, every time I was a big hit. I had a grand total of 45 mins sleep.. but I lasted the entire event, even though in the final laps I resorted to wearing just my bucket( and clothes of course!) oh yeah... relay theme was "Aussie"

Injuries: none

Malfunctions: my right shoulder bell fell off after a rather rough hug... the perpetrator was found to be a rebel spy and was soon disposed of.

Public Incidents: none, although there would have been if I one more person tried to take my blaster...

Mission Status: a complete success, personally I ended up raising about $400 so I am pretty happy with that
