Health
As the hobby of reenacting is a physical activity, that requires some exercise with poor sleep and light meals your physical condition is a factor; Ask yourself the following questions:

Can you lift 50 Lbs?
Can you walk 3-5 miles in the sun?
Can you carry a 35 lb. pack?
Can you survive on four hours of sleep?
Do you have any physical conditions or health issues that may cause you difficulty in a wilderness environment?
Are you more than 25 lbs overweight?
Are you on medication for any psychological illness?

Though these issues may cause you difficulty in a reenacting environment, they may not preclude you from participating. If you answered yes to any of the above, please discuss this with the Unit Leader.

Attitude
The hobby of reenacting is a fun and educational environment, but it is not for everybody. The WWIIRPS is run as a military unit. This not only helps to maintain the illusion of the life of the war era soldier, but helps members to stay safe and learn proper behavior within the hobby so nobody gets hurt. We ask you to work as a team, take orders, have good manners, exercise good sportsmanship, be helpful, contribute financially, put in hard work, be responsible of equipment and vehicles, respect officers, and behave in a safe and conscientious manner. Loose cannons and glory hounds have no place in the WWIIRPS . This type of behavior will not be accepted. We want you to have personal pride and pride in your unit. Most of all we want to honor wartime Veterans.
