Im clear and will make sure to leave my calendar open for those days if it works for everyone else!
22nd sounds good. Where we going to visit?
We need to arrange visit requests a month in advance if possible.

Ok lets choose from the previous suggested options...
45th civil support team (National Guard Hazmat Team.)
do a few tours in the boro, lunch at toots or hooters then smyrna
Nashville Fires stuff
Murfreesboro PD, Rutherford Co SO, Rutherford Co EMA, Murfreesboro FD, places like that
WSM AM 650 transmitter facility in Brentwood
Emergency Support Unit (ESU) of the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) in Davidson County. ( volunteer agency in Davidson County whose primary responsibility is water rescue and recovery I was sent this via PM to see if we might be interested to go to this)
or suggest another here.
pick a few you'd like to do. We' need to get these folks at least a month of time to let them know when and how many folks are coming to their AOO's
i see that the activitys here are in about a 40 mile radius of each other so keep that in mind as well.

I might be able to sneak in a day for the 22nd. I have a baby coming, the due date is July 28th,so that is pushing it close. She's not known to give birth early,so shouldn't be a problem. I'll let you know. I wish I could of made it last year, I would of liked to see where the THP cars are put together at. That's right up my alley. Just let me know what's going on.We have a bunch of installs scheduled the rest of this month and next,so hopefully I can take off, but may have to miss this year too.

I will be at the 150th Battle of Manassas in Virginia the 18th-24th. =( I aint never been to a meet and greet. I am from Buchanan, Georgia and to my knowledge there aint but only like 4-5 serious collectors or "light fever nerds" as myself on here. LMAO I wanna get out and meet some other fellow ELB members and see what kinda things they are doing and where everyones from.

well...
i think you can miss it lol. we'll only be doing something on friday.
Looks like we will be going to the hazmat team in smyrna, the radio tower, then back to the boro for some tours and lunch/ dinner depending on the time.
now the real choice is toots or hooters... :ugh:

If it's the 22nd I can drive down from KY for the tours and such. I'm only about 2 hours out of Nashville.
Going to the CST is always good, radio towers are good too. Being an EMA and water rescue guy here, I'd love to see the stuff in Nashville.

This will be my first meet and greet from this site.
Looking forward to it!!

Personal opinion on the eating, lets do Toots. Hooters here just isnt that good, IMHO. Do I need to set up some tours in the 'Boro Jared? The 22nd is fine for me, as I'm already off on Thurs and Fri nights.

Looks like Jarred has planned a full day. I look forward to seeing all of you and hope to have enough stamina for the entire day. (I had more back surgery on July 7 to impant a spinal nerve stimulator, so I have been under medical restrictions.)
We are confirmed for the visit with the 45th Civil Support Unit at 10:00 a.m. Central Time. Sgt. Nicely, one of the unit's communications technicians, will review the capabilities of their communications truck and do questions and answers.
We will need to stop at the front gate (with check of a photo ID) and then get directions to proceed to Building 551 off 7th Ave.
The town of Smyrna also has responsibilities for the airport fire protection, so if time allows, that might be another short visit at the Fire Station.
(Nice rigs, but nothing like we saw at BNA last year.)
See you Friday.
