TROOP: Mater Childrens’ Hospital

Monday, January 19th, 2009 | 501st, Troop Reports

Photos pending.

Venue: Mater Childrens’ Hospital
Time: 1000 hours - 1200 hours
Mission: The mission was to safeguard the Starlight Express Room for the local constabulary, while they presented the Mater Hospital with a charity cheque.
Details: Oz_Scout made contact with the local Constabulary, who organised the location and the time of the cheque presentation ceremony. Once we arrived and kitted up, Captain Starlight suggested we visit the wards to meet all the current residents. We spent the next hour or so walking around the rooms and meeting various people, introducing ourselves and taking photos. At one point, I stuffed up my TKID - The Squad Leader cant punish me because he buggered his up also.
Trooper Attendance: Moxxxie, Oz_Scout
Wranglers: TK-TEX
Injuries: One slight pinch of my left knee. Nothing to speak of.
Malfunctions: The velcro attaching my ab and butt plates came unstuck, so I had a very attractive black dangley thing hanging off the back of my butt. Thankfully, my fellow trooper identified the malfunction before the public became aware of it.
Public Incidents: The local carpark was a total nightmare.
Mission Status: Success
