My first OP
My first OP
I went on my first op the other night. It was the shed of a house for sale my friends used to live in so i slightly knew the area. Its been for sale for about 2 years now. Its in a neighbor hood that was well lit. I snuck out my house around 2:00, i put my mask and gloves on about a block from my entrance point over the fence so if anyone seen me in the area I wouldn’t be recognized. When I got past the first fence there was a second fence between me and the back yard. The first gate was locked so I found another way in. When I got into the shed it was empty so I was a little disappointed but I looked around for a little bit then escaped without a problem. It was a very risky entrance and exit of the AO but I feel I did well for my first op.
Re: My first OP
Sounds like a great first op! Just getting comfortable moving around at night is a huge part of the battle -- avoiding light, keeping good noise discipline, learning how to jump fences quickly. How was exfiltrating your house? Nothing like that first breath of night air.
Re: My first OP
I’ve snuck out my house before but never farther than my back yard. We have cameras in the front so the best way I found was through my shed and then through 4 of my neighbors backyards to the street. I had practiced exfiltrating to the street and infiltrating back to my house for two nights before. I wear my gloves and mask then too so if I’m seen I can leg it away from my house, like I’m not from around there.

Re: My first OP
Well, you've already got your overall strategy down-pat. Got any other targets you feel like exploring?

Re: My first OP
I got a few one is a house under construction that no one lives in right now but I might have to lock pick to get in. And a few houses that or for sale and some other sheds behind inhabited houses.
