We get alot of emails from our listeners... most are positive, some are correcting errors and the rest are less than cordial to say the least. From time to time we get the rare gold nuggets that we wish to share with the rest of you... and here they are:

From: Ben T.
Ive been listening to OPSEC since last November and I was disapointed when closed shop. When that happened I went back and downloaded most of yours episodes to listen to them. So now that your back up I've got a question for you. Is it possible to do field reporting for you?
I know you mentioned it in several episodes and had it in the JOBS Wanted section for awhile. I live in northeastern Pennsylvania and we have been have a fairly massive influx of airsofting (FINALLY). So if you interested or just want to chat my email is...

From: Tyler G.
I live in Southern California and my friends and I don't know any good places to play airsoft. Where do you guys play??? do you know of any places that you don't have to pay to play??? My friends and i would greatly appreciate this. Thanks!

From: Shane
I am new to airsoft and am looking at buying either an M4 or M16 airsoft rifle (probably by echo). I am probably going to be doing mostly outdoors with some indoor/CQB scenarios. Which gun do you recommend for both outdoors and indoors and M4 or M16. I wasn't sure if an M4 can shoot very far accurately in an outdoor scenario or not?

Shameless Plugs
Have an event or website that needs a little exposure? Fancy the OPSEC staff to read it on the air during our weekly broadcast? Well, then post it. As long as its not retarded and related to airsoft in some way, there is a good chance that it will make it on the air.
