"OK COMRADES, HERE YOU TEST YOUR BASIC KNOWLEDGE ON YOUR STALKING AND HIDING! YOU HAVE 40 PEOPLE LOOKING FOR YOU. YOU WILL NOT BE TAKEN PRISONER! Good luck,  and godspeed comrades" Tanner runs off and I start my stalk by crawling in the grass. We have a 10 minute headstart so we can be anywhere in 100-1000 feet, me at least... I'm worried that Tanner will be found soon. I told him to find me at the 2nd treeline if anything happens. We part ways and adrenaline kicks in HARD, my hearts pounding and it makes me think people can hear it. I have my rifle and it's loaded with paint rounds so if I hit someone they glow bright green, so they are "dead". I'm crawling in a zigzag pattern and heading NE, my night vision goggles (NVGs) are down and on, I'm ready to hide. My radio is quiet so I'm in the dark with no updates on Tanner, I need to keep calm and focus on tagging people and giving him some updates on enemy positions when I can. The weather temperature is dropping and should be about 30-40°f, so I am fine, the ghillie is a thick jacket and the pants are wool. Time passes and I found 1 enemy, I up my rifle and BOOM, my  Dragonuv rings out across the field and I tag someone on the head with bright green paint. 1 down 39 to go, the others should be scared, they have no idea where the shot came from and I'm moving slowly to another position just 20 feet to my right so I can't be tracked even if they did know.
