Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology: The Exhibition. Fort Worth Museum of Science & History Combined Landing Party: USS REGULATOR/USS RACHEL GARRETT Three Marines from the USS Regulator were joined by the Captain of the USS Rachael Garrett to explore the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, concentrating on the traveling "Indiana Jones" exhibit. The landing party, consisting of CWO Glen Wilkerson, CDR Tracy Clark, BDR Tank Clark, and VADM Marian L. Murphy, arrived in three separate shuttles and joined up at around 1300 hours and were issued tablets by museum staff. These tablets enabled us to learn more details about the items being exhibited, as well as to participate in an interactive "treasure hunt." The exhibit had areas dedicated to each of the four "Indiana Jones" movies, as well as sections on real archaeology. The props on display were awesome. It was wonderful to get so close to these various things, as it enabled us to experience the great detail the artists put into them. There were mannequins dressed in costumes from the movies, and some of the other well-known props, like the idol from the beginning of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", a sarcophagus from the Well of Souls, the Ark itself, Coronado's Cross from "Temple of Doom", the shield of the knight from "Last Crusade", as well as both of the Grails... and many more. The exhibits on real archaeology were fascinating, too. Treasures from the ancient city of Ur, ancient coins from many cultures, papyrus from Ancient Egypt... lots of really ancient stuff.
Next, CWO Wilkerson returned to his shuttle, whilst BDR Clark and CDR Clark went to examine the "Dino Dig" section of the museum. Very interesting items on display here, but this section was clearly oriented more for children than adults. After ensuring we'd explored the whole area available to us, we returned to our shuttle. One should maintain situational awareness, however, even as the landing party mission is coming to a close. Clark, commanding Regulator, out.

ZONE 1 GAME DAY Sponsored by the USS Regulator Sci-Fi Factory, Fort Worth, TX Region 3 held a different kind of Game Day this year; each Zone was to put on their own at the same time, and some of the Zones were able to coordinate playing an online game against each other. Zone 1 did not participate in the online gaming, but we had a small number of dedicated people turn out for some fun playing board games with each other. Attending Game Day in Zone 1 were: COMM Goulet, MCPO Alan Goulet, LT Michael Cross, MCPT Roon Marchant, ENS Colin Gabbert, CDR Tracy Clark, and BDR Tank Clark. Several games were played, including Trivial Pursuit and Star Trek UNO, and even more games were purchased, including the new Star Wars RPG (bought by Michael) and Axis & Allies: War At Sea (bought by Tank). BRAVO ZULU to LT Cross, for organizing and running this event. Clark, commanding Regulator, out. Zone 1 Meeting (via Skype) Representatives from the USS Regulator, USS Navras, USS Rachel Garrett, USS Tejas, and the Retribution Station, met this evening and discussed items and activities of interest to elements of Zone 1. Items discussed included the upcoming Regulator Game Half-Day, the Good Day to Dine, the Navras' Laser Tag away mission, the Shuttle program (mentioned in a recent Starfleet Communique), and the difference between a Marine Strike Group and a Marine Expeditionary Unit. |
