Here are the new updates for the 2012 Playing
Year. Also make sure you pre-register (www.fortknoxpaintball.com)
for our first game of the season at Fort Knox
called "Greed." We will be playing
on the "Green" side as one of our
Allied Teams... Op4 leader Bad Karma is the
Commander for the Green side. JEDI will be the
O.S.U. leader for Saturday and SHEPHERD will
be the Sunday leader. Please see them for
squad placement. Please email SHEP (shepherd@omegastryke.org)
which day you will be playing (Sat. or
Sun.)...so we can get an idea for squads.
Don't forget to bring a lawn chair, your lunch
and something to drink.
2012 is a year for recruitment for the Omega
Stryke Unit. Please visit http://omegastryke.org/doc/osu2012flyer.pdf
to print out a 2012 promotional flyer to give
to your friends, family and co-workers to look
at joining the O.S.U.!!! We need to get others
hyped about joining the team so instead of
having a team meeting to start off the year we
will have a meeting at the end of the year.
Lets just get playing!!!
2012 Schedule
March 31, April 1st Fort Knox
"Greed"
Sunday April 15 1-5pm (tentative)

firemen.

UPDATES & CHANGES in O.S.U. for 2012
1) NO DUES or new member registration
fee. Waived for this year only 2012! Donations
will be accepted to help cover costs only! No
T-Shirts. Remaining T-shirts will be sold to
new players signing up. We will review at a
later date if we need to order more shirts.
3) 2-Way Radios. (Are NOT required but
STRONGLY recommended). The O.S.U. has found
that communication on the field is VERY
important, and we recommend that each player
on the O.S.U. has their own personal com unit.
You may also want to consider getting an ear
receiver with mic as an option. A recommended
unit can be found on the "By-Laws"
section on our website. We maybe possibly be
selling off our team com units at a discounted
price. If this happens it will be by a first
come first serve basis. More information to
follow shortly if this happens!
4) COSTS We are going to try and keep
costs down this year and focus on having fun
and trying to rebuild the team. This is a year
for recruitment if the O.S.U. is to continue.
There will be no uniform change but we may
discuss that at the team meeting in December
for next year! One thing that has changed is
you are no longer required to wear or purchase
"black" boots. Tennis shoes and
cleats are NOT recommended. Also we have
loosened up on the marker requirements only
encouraging Milsim markers. We understand in
this economy that may not be possible.
5) GENERAL INFORMATION Will continue to
have members playing on both Saturdays and
Sundays for Big Games. At least one leader
will be present on each day. See the leader in
charge to be placed in a squad. Higher ranking
officers will assume command of a squad.
Please note we plan to have at least one game
in the woods (like the old "Theaker
Woods" days) and play against some of
SLOOSHYS buddies (cops and firemen). This
would be a GREAT recruiting event. Also we
have at least 6 new players coming out for
"Greed" on Sunday. So things are
looking good for the 2012 playing year. We
have also added a game at Badlandz. Even
though we have heard rumors of it not being a
good field to play on we have yet to play
there as a team. Badlandz is a BYOP playing
field and we thought we would give it a try to
see if it can be another alternative field to
play at other than Fort Knox (which of course
is our favorite field). Blast Camp, Scherwood
Forest, Fox, and CPX Sports are still not
including because of the high playing costs
and not being a BYOP fields.
6) PROMOTIONS - Please remember all
team members who are promoted are required to
purchase and upgrade their uniforms themselves
with the OD subdued Army Rank Insignia patch.
These can be purchased from http://www.iragreen.com/view/208/
7) TEAM MEMBER UPDATE- Please welcome
John Kooi (HEMI) and Rebecca Kooi (BARBIE) to
the team as our new Privates. John is SHEPS
brother and Rebecca is his niece. We also want
to let you know that both David Zimmerman (SHAMMAH)
and Jake Miller (TWINKIE) will only be playing
with us for a limited time as they will be
both going off to boot camp this summer. We
wish them the very best! We also want to
welcome Zach Arnold, Jose Valerio, and Daniel
Wolowiec (and their friends) who are playing
with us on Sunday April 1st to try out playing
with the OSU. We hope you have a great
experience and
8) RESERVES REMINDER- We believe once
O.S.U. Soldier... ALWAYS O.S.U. Soldier. The
"RESERVE" Soldier's are
"Non-Active Duty" members who played
paintball on the O.S.U. team previously but
are not able to play on a regular basis due to
other activities (i.e. military service,
college, life-in-general, etc.) We encourage
the "Reserve" Soldiers to join us at
events when they can! The "Reserve"
players will either be placed in a fire-team
by a Commanding Officer, or if we have enough
reserve players they will become a fire-team
of themselves for the event they are
participating in. Reserve Soldiers will also
hold the rank they had when they went into the
"Reserve Status." It is also
possible for a "Reserve" Soldier to
earn a higher rank, but only if they qualify.
We do request (but not require) that
"Reserve" Soldiers also wear the
standard O.S.U. uniform whenever possible
during visiting games and events...so save
your uniform and be ready to dust off your
marker when you can!
If you are TOTALLY unable to play and want to
sell your gear please let us know what you
have and what you want for it and I am sure we
will be able to find someone who might want to
purchase your gear.

Believe it or not the 2010
paintball playing year is ALMOST
over. The Omega Stryke Unit has
officially only two more playing
events and an Awards Banquet to
finish off this year.
1) Our Oct.
event will be held the day
before Halloween
(Saturday, Oct. 30th) at Blast
Camp called "ZOMBIE."
It is the first time Blast Camp
has done a Saturday BIG GAME in
many years. JEDI was able to
work a discounted price of $20
to play and $55 for 2000rd paint
($58.85 w/tax required). Please
note: You must purchase paint
from Blast Camp. They are
supplying us with Draxxus
quality paint. Registration and
full payment is due by Oct. 24
(see link to registration form
below).
2) Whatever
paint you have left-over for the
year you want to bring the
O.S.U's FINAL playing event at
Fort Knox called "MOBSTERS
2." This will be a HUGE
big game and many teams will be
present to play since it is so
close to the end of the year.
Cost for this event is $25
(includes all day air). Please
note: Fort Knox is a BYOP (bring
your own paint) field so bring
whatever you have left to
shoot!!! Registration and full
payment is due by Oct. 24 (see

3) Finally, to
end the 2010 playing year we
will be getting together at the Cedar
Lake Ministries

Banquet in the "Oaks Dining
Hall" from 6pm till 9pm, on
Friday December 3rd. All
Team members are encouraged to
attend. In fact, we want you to

"NIGHT RAID! - Saturday August 14, 2010 |
7pm- Midnight"
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A BRING YOUR OWN
PAINT EVENT!!!
Just so everyone knows...registrations are
closed for this event through OSU. You can
still play by going to BLAST CAMP the day of
the event and paying them directly. If you
registered but did NOT order paint, please
note you can NOT bring
your own. You will need to purchase paint from
BLAST CAMP. Yes, even the "White
Fill" that we used at THEAKER WOODS can NOT
be used to play at Night Raid. Gates open at 7pm
and we recommend ALL O.S.U. team members who
are playing to arrive at this time. This way
we can distribute paint, gear-up, chrono,
and set-up our fire-teams.
INSTRUCTIONS & NIGHT RAID GAMES! Below are the instructions and games
scheduled for the August 14, 2010 NIGHT
RAID...
All players will be divided into two teams RED
and BLUE. Each player will have a team colored
glowstick which must remain in sight. Referees
will have orange glowsticks. Each overall team
will have smaller teams of 10-12 that will
play games to represent larger team. A Referee
will escort each set of teams to the “Batters
Box” on the base, explain each
scenario and answer questions. Those teams
will then watch the game prior to theirs.
Teams will play the 5 minute games explained
below then return to registration. All lights
will go Red or Blue to indicate the winner of
a game and signal the end of that game.
We’ll play these games in the order they are
listed below. Push lights will be used as
"Launch buttons" A “Dead box”
area will be designated on the field
"Elimination"

be designated as the “Guard” team, and one
team will be the “Felon” team. A dummy
will be placed in an undisclosed location on
the field prior to the game. This prop will be
illuminated just seconds before the game
starts. “Launch buttons” will be placed at
each starting point. These buttons will either
end the escape by locking down the prison
(felons starting point button), or disable all

LINE:
Its
July of 2010, and the US
Pentagon has called out
its Elite Special
Forces code named
OMEGA STRYKE UNIT to
investigate a strange
object that has
landed from outer-space in
a wooded area located in Northwest
Indiana. There have
been several reports of
local civilians
disappearing when
encountering this strange
object. The O.S.U. has
been deployed to
investigate this
phenomenon. When the O.S.U.
arrives on scene strange
things begin to
happen. What the soldiers
of the O.S.U. don’t
realize is that this
mysterious object
transports them back and
forth in time...
...sending
them into different battle
scenarios found throughout
US History. Each time
travel scenario tests the
knowledge, skills and
abilities of each
enlistee… they soon will
find out what it takes to
be a TRUE SOLDIER! Can the
OMEGA STRYKE UNIT defeat
these scenarios, and
possibly find a way home?

What
Does
It
Cost?
As a
reminder
anyone
9th
grade
an
above
can
join
the
O.S.U.
I have
been
asked
by
several
people
what
would
it
cost
approx.
for
someone
to
join.
I
put
together
a very
inexpensive
package
on a
print
sheet
that
you
can
give
to
people
when
they
ask
you
this
question.
It is
also
on our
site
to
print
off.
Of
course,
someone
could
spend
more
or
less
than
this
package.
Major Paul Perrin and the Omega Stryke Unit have just completed
their very first "deployment" on January 22,
2010. Major Perrin known as AON (All or Nothing), has
issued a briefing of our first meeting. This briefing is
available to ALL in the Omega Stryke Unit. To read AON's letter
to the team you must go to H.Q. (headquarters) and enter the
"Top Secret" area of our web site. If you are unsure
of the username and password, please contact Corporal SHEPHERD.
See you at our next deployement!
SOME
IMPORTANT UPDATES 1/31/10
1)
BDU's / Patches:
Please note when you signed up you will receive
a T-shirt, sponsor discounts, and a patch set.
This patch set includes the Unit Patch, Unit
Name Tape, your Call Sign Name Tape, and the American
Flag (all subdued). What it does NOT
include is your "rank
insignia" which you need
to purchase yourself. The "rank
insignia" is to be subdued or
o.d. (olive drab), and no other form is allowed
(like digi-camo etc). A recommended place to
purchase is www.iragreeen.com.
Your patches can be either stiched or
Velcro type. Please make sure that you are not
purchasing the collar insignia which typically
comes in pairs. They are much smaller than the
insignia that is typically for front and center
jacket placement. Why is this so
important...well, our next deployment
(meeting) on Feb. 19th, 2010 (at Bethel
Church) will include taking pictures for
our new website. Our website is used to
help promote and build-up our sponser-ship for
this team. This means you need to have your
BDU's and patches on by this time. We have put
on our "By-laws page" of the website
illustrations of the proper placement of your
patches... http://www.omegastryke.org/bylaws.htm If
you have yet to purchase your BDU's there are
several different places to purchase, just make
sure there will be enough time to receive them
with shipping ... check...www.airsoft-club.com,
www.bdu.com.
You can also go to our "Links page"
for more resources... http://www.omegastryke.org/links.htm
2)
Team Roster page:
For those who have NOT yet sent their
information for the team roster page, please
fill out the web form and complete your
information so I can finish this page. Relating
to pictures...relating to photos on this page we
will be taking photos on the 19th. The pics that
are up there are temporary only and will be
removed or put into a separate area. If you
would like to submit any photo's (other than
what is taken on Feb 19th) you will
need to black out the background in a program
(like paint). Let me stress the word YOU
need to black it out. Please get this
information to SHEPHERD.
3)
Top Secret Area:
The top secret area of the website on the Headquarters
(H.Q.) homepage is still under construction.
Please note I am going to give you the user name
and password but you WILL NOT be able to open
any files for a while. We will let you know when
their are files to open. Please keep the user
name and password private. Both username and
password are case sensitive with no breaks in
the letters.
User
name:
(contact SHEPHERD
for username)
Password:
(contact SHEPHERD
for password)
This
are will be used to get information to the unit
that we don't want available to anyone else.
This means the information is "top
secret" and can not be shared with anyone
except unit members.
4)
Updated Web pages:
You will find that several web pages have been
updated.
a)
Team Page-
Almost all of the information on your unit team
members have been updated. Please try and take
the time out to memorize your team members
"call-sign names."
b)
Awards -
Note for those who participated in Fort
Knox Paintball Big Event last
November...your award is available for printing
out. You may have not even realized that you won
for the most valuable team.
c)
Schedule-
Please note the information on our first mission
deployment scheduled for March 27, 2010 is on
our "schedule page." We will try and
get information put up as quickly as possible.
So you can be informed of the detail but also so
you can save up for the event.
d)
By-Laws -
This page is in process. You will find that we
have added illustrations to show where our
patches are required to go. We will also be separating
the by-laws and agreement & consent forms.
The plans are to have the by-laws as and independent
print off, and the agreement & consent forms
will be merged with the web form giving us one
set of forms to fill out to join this unit. This
information should be completed within the next
week.
