    I'll be honest, I don't know which units because there are several there. We've got Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and even some UK troops (Royal Navy and Royal Marine Commandos).

    I haven't had the time to find out because I'm standing up comms on a new base and spending most of my time either on the phone or configuring switches and routers ..... and lots of 25 hour days.

    And if you don't want to read my posts ..... well, then don't.

    So you're being honest now?

    25 hour days don't lend well for many "Cigar Nights" at the new base...

    For me, I don't see any issue with supporting both troops and contractors. Though the former may not have as good a deal going as the latter, both are integral to the successful completion of the mission and both are doing jobs that I neither can nor would want to. I'll happily by either group a beer and good cigar

    This wasn't about the importance of contractors and the role they play in the "completion of the mission".

    That's a fair criticism. My post was pure philosophical and not intended to be a defense or commentary on Kris' responses and subsequent controversy.

    Oh for fucks sake, people. I didn't ask for a hand out, I just asked for info ...... there's a big difference.

    Fuck it, I give up. No one has taken the time to read what I posted and wants to believe I'm trying to get free cigars ..... so believe what you want. I'm just trying to start a good thing here, so I'll continue with trying to make it a success.


    You guys have a good one.

    This guy wreaks of sour bullshit...


    I'm just sayin'.....



    If he wanted to be a good guy, he woulda started a cigar for the troops himself after seeing the example K7 did... Not hard to do folks... I've even done a few passes from here, and lots of people might of jumped at the chance to help him organize it, had he started the thread posting his intentions and a plan, not asking for hand outs and having everyone else do the work....
