time!
A “Shengen Visa” for the European Union needs approx.
4 weeks lead time.
Keep yourself informed about the IATA transport
requirements for weapons and ammunition not to be
surprised the last moment.
- Training
assistance
At the General
Assembly
the President TC was contacted by some Chiefs of Delegation
interested in Military Pentathlon. It would be extremely helpful to
have some experienced trainers earmarked that could be
drawn upon, if required. Details need of course be agreed
upon case by case.
- Military Pentathlon Identification Number - MilPIN
Delegations are reminded to
forward names of Military Pentathlon newcomer athletes (together with a
copy of the passport or service pass, showing name and birth
date) to
Col De Wulf

The MilPIN will then be
forwarded to the respective delegation. Only a few teams
sent an adapted list for 2002 to Col De Wulf, asking
eventually for PIN's for their new athletes.
- Check-in procedure –
starting lists
A
new and standardised “Check-in form” is available in
the "Regulations Section".
The "Check-in form" is part of the regulations!
Delegations/missions are requested urgently to stick to
the procedures:

b) send preliminary and final entries in time
c) use the MilPIN names exactly in the final entries
Friendship through sport!
