Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Im back everyone! I had a string of Internet/Computer problems. Wow has it been an eventful couple of weeks. Last week at our Saturday night "BAF Cigar Club Herf" we had a special guest from the NRA, Phillip Schreier. He gave out NRA coins, donated some cigars to the troops and took some pictures hopefully to write an article about the BCC. Tonight, wow what a night. We had at least 70 people show up. Its was our veteran BCC members last Herf before they return to the great US of A. A few soldiers that formed a band came and performed for us. They played everything all kinds of music. They even had a few soldiers go up and sing (karaoke style). There were burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, chips and drinks. We totally depleted our cigars for the troops stock. We played dominoes, and texas hold-em. Everyone had an outstanding time. It was a really great way to send out our great friends on with a bang. I will post some pictures tomorrow. Everyone with a camera is already in bed. We stayed and played until 0100 in the morning. Great music, great smokes, great N/A beer, great games and even better friends! Everyone is sincerely thankful to all of you that have supported the soldiers for so long. If there is anything that any of us can do for any of you, please ask.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Alex, Tonight was the Warrior gangs last Herf. We have picked up quite a few new members though, with the Warrior guys' replacements getting here and just random others we've met. Havent found a replacement yet.

Thanks for the packages you guys are sending. I will let you know when they get in.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

sorry to see it was the last for the Base Ops guys but sounds like they went out w/a bang.........God speed home guys
keep me posted on the BCC and support, check w/the Retention NCO and see if the 82nd stuff and flags showed up yet......also keep me posted on the article about the BCC.......I'm sure you'll find a grasshopper soon.....good job being the BCC CEO:tu

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Snkbyt, Thanks brother, I appreciate it. Yeah, its going to suck not having those guys around. They have been some really great friends. I really hope to stay in touch with them once they leave. We got together tonight and played poker and dominoes again. Im still waiting for my buddy with the camera to bring his SD Card so I can upload some pics.

So, Saturday night (I forgot to mention this) Maj H brought his camera and at one point during the night after most people had left, he says hes gotta find his camera. Well, me being the nice guy that I am, found it for him, but I waited about 5 minutes to give it to him. As it turns out, you can take alot of pictures of your "ball$" and "bum" in the bathroom in 5 minutes. So I come back out of the bathroom, and its a pretty big camera mind you, and I stuck it in my cargo pocket and had to walk sideways to get past him, because he was up looking all around for his camera. The look on his face said it all too as soon as I saw him. He had that look of worry like, some mother$%^*er took my camera. So I get to my seat and say "here it is, it was under the chips." So he had no clue, he was just relieved that his camera wasn't gone. So tonight, were playing cards and he hadn't shown up yet. Well when he does come, he starts talking about his day and how he got to see a full moon with some friends! It was awesome. Yes for those of you that aren't in the Army, thats how we "roll." Good times.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Last night was a pretty good time as always, we had about 13 people show up. We played poker and smoked some good stoggies. Next week were heading down to dust-off. It may end up being our new spot. The new unit came in and tore down the power strip for the lights. The place is a mess too. It even stinks. The guys from their unit come out but dont associate, ask where its from, nothing, so were done there. The new spot is either going to be dust-off or the Big gazebo. Our shirts came in today. I will update more later.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

that sux........any pics
keep the updates coming
be safe
and remember the BCC flag

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Our shirts came in today. They came out really good. Me and Shug are going to hit the post office today to ship them to the guys from Warrior that are home already. Tomorrow night, the guys from the Tiki Hut and Dust-off invited us to a pig roast. Everything's going well though.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Enjoy the BBQ...post some pics...any extra shirts in XL or 2X?

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

I think he sold all of the shirts tonight but one (which is spoken for) if the dude dont bring the money this Saturday, I'll let you know. My buddy Mac took some pics, will try to get them off him tomorrow night. They had 2 pigs tonight, steak, all kinds of sides. It was pretty nice. They played wiffle ball in the hanger. We played Mexican train dominoes with double 15 dominoes. It took forever. Great time.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

glad ya had a good time........how was the cigar turn out and is that the new BCC home (badge needed) or will it be the gazebo in time square?

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Whats up everyone?!?!? Tonight was our weekly Herf. We had a turnout of about 20 people. We played poker, then some dominoes, and did a bunch of B.S.ing. As always, it was a pretty great time. Not much left but "filler" cigars but still a great time. Tim and the Tiki guys had some cuban monte's they shared with some guys. A buddy (Chris, Gus' replacement) gave me a Davidoff, my first one, and man was it unbelievable! I bought last week's weekly special off of CI and had a 5 vegas Cask Strength, and a Nica Libre. The Cask strength was awesome and the Nica Libre was pretty decent too. I had one of the Gurkha G5's last night. It was pretty good. Strong, which I like. I'm going to the the Rocky Decades roast for a while in the humi before I tear into those. Snykbyt, I bought some JRs a couple of weeks ago (yeah I know you love it), the padron alternatives, and they were this shizzzzzzz Nit. They were torpedoes and had an unbelievably silky smooth wrapper. I gave a bunch of them out to the guys and everyone loved them. They are probably someone in my top 30 list. Obviously that list is Non Cuban, haha. Everythings going pretty great around here. My anniversary was yesterday (8 years shes had to put up with me). We are less than 60 days from coming home! Im starting to pack stuff that Im not using up already. I sent another small box of stoggies out to our guys at one of our FOBs. One guy came back today and says thanks so much to everyone supporting the cause. They smoked them things up like crazy. Sorry I dont have any pics of tonight, 9 guys with cameras and not one of them brought one. I still dont have one after mine took a crap. Funny story about that... Two of my buddies decided to get a little payback on me. I have a habit of taking peoples cameras when they arent looking and taking pictures of some of my favorite places "cough cough hint hint" and putting their camera back... well they got me good, took it in the porta jon and took some of their favorite places as well as some Browns that had been taken to the super bowl, if you know what I mean. Anyways, the camera didnt work after that... Hmm I wonder why...? Oh yeah, Snykbyt, I got Maj H like that... I dont know if I told you. He couldnt find his camera, and I did, so I snuck in the bathroom and snapped a few and came back out like "here, I found your camera." Well, he didnt see the pics until a few nights later! It was hilarious, Maj E, SGM Stewart, MSG Nunnally were all there, they got a kick out of it. Good times!

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
 

Between time off from the deployment, two stints of leave and being sent home for nine day for Quarters - this was my first week back. I put on E6 next month so I will be shuffled around somewhere to be NCOIC of something. The family is great, and life is awesome. Looks like I might be back pretty soon so I am just taking one day at a time.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter

Alex, I got your last Lapis egg today. I gotta wait until the first to mail it though. I gotta ease up the spending, I got 2 daily deals from CI this week alone, heheh.

Not much is new around here. We had a small earthquake last night... We are still using Dustoff for the weekly herf. About 3-8 of us Herf at our corner almost every night. Its starting to get cold as a mother though! Its supposed to be 32 tonight. Its beautiful during the day, but as soon as the sun hits the mountains, it gets COLD quick. We still sit out and smoke em up thought. Dedication baby! We have a few BOTL heading out REAL soon. We'll be sad to see them go, but glad they can finally reunite with their families.

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter

Re: BAF Cigar Club Banter
