Episode 128 Posted
We actually did it! It seemed like forever in the making but Episode came and went without any big hitches. Alphawolf dialed in from SoCal while Radar and guests TJ, Matt and Zach broadcast from Western NY. I'll be honest, it felt good to be back in the saddle again. In this episode, we sorta covered MilSim Nerfification; how safety measure tend to diminish player immersion... but in classic OPSEC fashion, the conversation branched all over the place. The comedy highlight was the OPSEC Airsoft Mailbag where we read a few amazing listener-submitted emails. For those interested, the the Ep.128 show notes contain the complete list of items/segments & bits discussed.

Exhibitor at the 1st WNYA Expo
Haggerty from WNYAL (guest on episode 127) has invited the OPSEC Airsoft Radio crew to man an exhibitor table at the very first WNYA Expo taking place on Sunday, March 4th 2012 at the Tactical Spec Ops facility in Lockport, NY. We've represented a few times at John Lu's "A Weekend of Heros" airsoft expo and always had a blast. The essentials are as follows:
Date: Sunday, March 4th, 2012
Location: Tactical Spec Ops
Address: 37 Exchange St, Lockport, NY, 14094
Hours: 11am - 4pm
Cost: $5 USD
According to the forum thread, there will be a raffle for each paid admission as well as a list of confirmed exhibitors. Further details along with a Q&A session are taking place in the thread so head on over at your convenience. At our table we will have some swag, show info card and maybe a few airsoft goodies for you to fondle. Of the staff, only Radar will be in attendance (as he is local) so come on out and say hello.
UPDATE: Illness has descended upon the house of Radar! OPSEC will be unrepresented at the expo. 
Spooling up for 2012
The last official word was that it would be a cold day in hell before you saw another OPSEC Airsoft podcast/show released. Grab your gloves and sleds kiddies, because in 2012, hell is freezing over! The logic behind yet another comeback cannot really be explained other than nostalgia and "the itch." It sounds strange but OPSEC Airsoft runs through my veins and no matter how many times I "quit" I will never be truly done. That being said, let's get on with what we are cooking up for 2012!
The resurrection of this bloated dinosaur will come with changes (staff, content, tech, etc) that will hopefully give the show more bite and useful information. The focus of the show will remain the same; random airsoft topics mixed with news and conversation all submitted by players/staffers to simply recreate the atmosphere of hanging out after an airsoft game. More focus and attention will be paid to listener contributions, interviews, tactics, gear, hardware and reviews. There are quite a few subtle backend plans that, if executed correctly, will greatly improve the show that most of you will never even see. As you can tell, I'm more than excited and almost ready to get the OPSEC ball rolling in the right direction again!
No hard dates have been set for new shows, but we are shooting for late January to early February. Naturally we will update our various social media sites (facebook, twitter, google+) once we have said dates. The forums are back up as is the live chat with it so you can contribute and communicate with the OPSEC staff as you see fit. We are very excited to get going and look forward to what 2012 has in store for OPSEC Airsoft Radio.
Airsofters4Japan – Auctions
Our good friend Orca from Airsoft Monkey is doing his part in helping Japan earthquake relief by organizing eBay auctions, selling unique Airsoft, MilSim, Reenactor, Tactical and Collectible items. Auction proceeds will go to Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. Here's the short version:
Due to the recent tragic events in Japan and the fact that the airsoft hobby is as popular as it is today, due to Japanese Airsoft Companies. We felt compelled to try and give back to Japan in their time of need.
We have created eBay auctions and are selling unique Airsoft, MilSim, Reenactor, Tactical and Collectible items. Auction proceeds will go to Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. Click here for more information on the fund or to make a direct cash donation.
All items have been donated by local organizations, and individual airsofters. Some items are truely unique and would be hard to find. Please take this opportunity to help the people of Japan. We will keep these auctions live as long as we have items to auction.
More details and the original post can be found here.

Episode 127 Posted!
It's been a while since we had a full-house for a live show and episode 127 didn't disappoint. On this show, Haggerty from WNYAL, TJ and Zach all sat in with Radar and Alphawolf to record. While we were a bit rusty starting out, we found our groove and had a blast. In this episode, we answered listener mail, defined yet another term for the OPSEC Airsoft Dictionary and covered the main topic of how to start an airsoft team. All in all, not too shabby. For those interested, the Ep.127 show notes contain the complete list of items/segments & bits discussed. Big thanks to our guests, rowdy but entertaining chat, live listeners as well as you podcast downloaders.
