<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b"><span style="font-size: medium;" class="mycode_size">Hello everybody!</span></span><br />
<img src="https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1095272376066904086/1096372824131784765/Piss-Up_2023.png?width=1202&amp;height=676" loading="lazy"  alt="[Image: Piss-Up_2023.png?width=1202&amp;height=676]" class="mycode_img" /><br />
Made by Rud<br />
<br />
Due to a Group of very persuasive danes <span style="text-decoration: line-through;" class="mycode_s">holding me at gunpoint</span> making a good case, we are in the process of planning a 4thIB Meetup in 2023!<br />
Thankfully, Coronna and Lockdowns are finally over and we can actually go outside and touch grass again, hooray.<br />
<br />
This Meet-Up is going to take place in Copenhagen from the 1st of September to the 3rd of September - The first weekend in September.<br />
Thats right after Holiday season, so prices go down, and should still be warm enough to not just freeze our asses off.<br />
<br />
We will be staying at the lovely <a href="https://www.steelhousecopenhagen.com/dorms-and-private-rooms" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url"><span style="color: #9df9ff;" class="mycode_color">Steelhousecopenhagen</span></a> (It looks much nicer than the name suggests), for a nice 2 night stay so we have somewhere to retreat to.<br />
Pricing is fairly managable with a 2 Day stay costing <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">60 Pound</span>, they even have a Pool, a Cinema and a Gym.<br />
This is a <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">shared dorm room </span>so make sure youre okay with that, if not youll need to look for your own accomodation<br />
<br />
Transportation wise, a Roundtrip ticket from London to Copenhagen currently costs <span style="color: #9df9ff;" class="mycode_color"><a href="https://www.google.com/travel/flights/search?tfs=CBwQAhouagwIAhIIL20vMDRqcGwSCjIwMjMtMDktMDFyDAgCEggvbS8wMWxmeSgAMgJGUhouagwIAhIIL20vMDFsZnkSCjIwMjMtMDktMDNyDAgCEggvbS8wNGpwbCgAMgJGUnABggELCP___________wFAAUgBmAEB&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=de&amp;curr=EUR" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url"><span style="color: #9df9ff;" class="mycode_color">about 70-80 Pound, depending on the Airline</span></a></span><br />

why - who doesn't like a piss up<br />
how - leave a comment below if you are interested, time/place can be agreed on later<br />
issues - don't be a jack cunt and all will be grand<br />
<br />
My personal suggestion is Liverpool. I know Liverpool well and Bold St has a shit ton of pubs/bars/clubs near by, scran is fucking cheap and top notch. It's relatively central for the whole of the UK, and should give good access for everyone. There's multiple train stations to get to, with Liverpool Lime St having great services from London and the North. Manchester is 30 mins away and is a major airport for all our int'l guests.<br />
<br />
Date is up for debate, I'll leave that to BGHQ to schedule in around Ops. Maybe a celebration at the end of this op?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So about 5 months ago I was going to be joining the server but something came up IRL that i had to deal with. Now that is all over i wish to continue my training<br />
<br />
I went throught the application process and interview and was about to start my training on the server when I had to suddenly leave.<br />
<br />
Also since then I have reformatted my computer so I just need walking through the installation process again<br />
<br />
Thanks - bess]]></description>

<br />
They will be Running 5 Miles every 5 Hours for 50 hours for Combat Stress because Mental health needs more support and awareness. I was meant to take part but thanks to my glass ankle nd tearing the ligaments and 90% of my calf I can't. Therefor I have to help put in mother way which is donating and raising awareness. it would be amazing if anyone here could spare a few Bob in support of these guys.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello All,<br />
Time to release some plans for the unit. Next on the list for 4IB is to have another OP night (most likely will be a Wednesday night) on this night will be the Royal Dragoons Guards in the FV107 (Scimitar) in support will be 617 Sqn (F-35) there will also be a requirement for some of our support detachments to attend to assist RDG.<br />
Initially, we will be looking at 1Troop consisting of 4x FV107 (3 men crew) supported by a section or 2, further down the line then a Platoon of FV107. As for 1 Group 617 Sqn 2x F-35 (C variant due to arma models out there) providing air superiority, iStar and CAS.<br />
This has been in the planning stages for a few months starting right back at the grassroots of training, J3 deployment team, MI12 Zeus, etc and having current OPs on Saturday and Sunday.<br />
<br />
Feel free to come and chat to me on teamspeak if you have ideas or questions. This will not happen overnight and there are still a few things to finish off and tweak but once again I'm asking for your support lol I hope to see it all come together very soon and expand upon what we currently have which is giving our members exciting, entertaining, well thought out deployments on a truly large scale. This is one of many steps that we are making in the unit to drive to a larger and more flexible milsim environment. <br />
<br />
Now to lay it out the best we can and hopefully as realistic as we can get it here is our new orbat:<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Heyo,<br />
<br />
Applied a few weeks ago and was accepted. The minimum age was waived for me due to my young age of 16. Came back to find that they don't offer waivers anymore and had my application- unfortunately- denied. Can I ask what inspired the change to no waivers? Was looking forward to getting back involved with the milsim unit.<br />
<br />
All the best,<br />

Applied a few weeks ago and was accepted. The minimum age was waived for me due to my young age of 16. Came back to find that they don't offer waivers anymore and had my application- unfortunately- denied. Can I ask what inspired the change to no waivers? Was looking forward to getting back involved with the milsim unit.<br />
<br />
All the best,<br />
