Remember, It’s About Honor and Integrity
Every once in a while, each player gets caught up in the heat of the moment. Maybe its the heat, maybe its just that competitive edge most of has. But, in the end we all need to remember two very important things. This sport we play is about honor and integrity. As players, we tend to emulate the men and women of our armed forces and because of that we should emulate them with the honor that they show us. Respect your fellow players as you would those who wear the uniform for a living.
But, I digress. As I stated, we get caught up in the heat of it all. Tempers can rise fairly quickly and it is up to the better player to step back, breathe and approach the situation in a calm collect manner. Take a few moments before saying something to collect your thoughts. Then speak your peace, it will be amazing how far a little respect can go. This is the way to play airsoft.
Now, Thumpy Covey, of NC took a moment to explain the very same thing at his field, when he was playing and made the same mistake. In response to this, he has made this video to help explain how NOT to play airsoft. And if you would like more info about Mr. Covey you can visit his website at http://Thumpmaster6.wordpress.com

10 Ways to Stay Hydrated This Summer
We all know it can get really hot down here. Put aside the normal heat, but humidity is not our friend. Airsoft and heat can be a deadly combination. We are the SFAA take your safety and health serious. This article can help you beat the heat and keep yourself from getting dehydrated. This article was taken from http://www.fitsugar.com
While it’s always a good idea to stay hydrated, it’s especially important when the temps of Summer start rising. Whether you’re spending your vacation camping and hiking or just doing more outdoor daily activities like biking and walking, I’ve got some tips for how you can stay hydrated during the warm weather months.
- Eat your water. Chowing down on water-filled foods like watermelon, is an easy and refreshing way to keep hydrated.

- Hydrate before exercising. Be sure to drink water before exercising to maximize your workout.
- Drink water on the plane. If you’re traveling this Summer, don’t forget to drink up the H2O on the plane.
- Stay hydrated at work. Even when working indoors, it’s important to keep the fluids handy.
There are five more ways, so read more.
- Drink water before meals. By drinking water before meals, not only will you stay hydrated but you’re less likely to overeat.
- Have enough on hand. When you’re spending the day camping or biking, it’s important to bring enough water to last the trip.
- Spice it up with healthy flavoring. If you’re having a hard time getting enough water, spice it up with some natural flavoring.
