Joint 7th ACS & SGI 2009 Reunion Put it on your calander now!

7 ACS and SGI Combined Reunion

When: 9 – 11 Oct

Where: Ft. Walton Beach FL

Location: Hurlburt Fld Picnic Grounds

OK "Commandos," we have combined forces with the Stray Goose Int'l (SGI)(1 SOS) guys to have a reunion in conjunction with the Air Commando Association (ACA) Reunion 9-11 Oct 2009. We are also planning for the next Worldwide Combat Talon (WWCT) Reunion from 21-23 May 2010.

Below is the infomation for the 2009 Get together.

October 9, 10, 11, 2009 - Hurlburt Field

Make plans now to attend the Stray Goose International/7th Air Commando Society/SOS fall reunion, to be held 9-11 October 2009 at the Hurlburt Field picnic grounds. Once again, this year's event coincides with the Air Commando Association reunion, which is held annually over the Columbus Day holiday weekend.

When you find something that works...stay with it. The schedule of events is the same as past SGI reunions: cookout and business meetings (as required) on Friday night, pig roast and picnic on Saturday afternoon/evening, and a memorial service with the ACA on Sunday at the Hurlburt air park. Except for the memorial service, all events will be held at the picnic grounds south of Hwy 98 on the sound side.

In true Combat Talon fashion, we will have a good time. More details are forthcoming, but here's what we know now:

--Friday, 9 October, 1400 --Begin site and country store set up at the picnic

grounds

--Friday, 9 October, 1600 - ??? - Cookout and kegs, chicken BBQ dinner served at 1800, and separate business meetings as necessary

--Saturday, 10 October, all day - Hospitality tent open for war-story

telling and beer drinking. Hamburgers and hot dogs available all day.

--Saturday, 10 October, 1600 - ??? - Pig roast, picnic and kegs

--Sunday, 11 October, 1200 -- ACA Memorial service at air park

--Sunday, 11 Oct, 1300 - ??? -- Site clean-up and keg drain

Final costs for the Friday and Saturday events will be posted, but we're projecting $15 per person per night (Sunday free), or $25 per person for the entire weekend. Kids 12 and younger free. No pre-registration - all done on site.

Everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic food item/dessert to share on Saturday night.

Due to the combined events with the ACA and non-availability of the Quality Inn, our members will be on their own for transportation and lodging.

By the way, Talon personnel from the 15th, 711th and the old 8th SOS's are welcome (and encouraged) to join us!

Briefing complete! Help us get the word out to all current and former Combat Talon members and let's make this event the best ever.
