Day 1: The Meeting
[SS]Chief went to pick up the men at the airport who all arrived within about an hour of each other. Headed back to the house, and went shopping for food and beer for the house for the week. Played cards, started drinking. When I got to the house (i drove down from PA) the guys tried to trick me into thinking that Steve-o was a midget since we had never seen a pic of him, they totally got me, fuckers! Drank and played more Texas Hold-Em. [SS]Blitz fired up the lobsters while we played and we ate like kings.
I broke out all my goodies that i brought down for the men which included some tournament awards from past tourneys that i was too lazy to mail them, lol, and for our recently promoted Vice Admirals, [SS]Raiden and [SS]Cuervo, we had put together 2 shadow boxes with thier medals, a seal trident, admiral stars and thier sigs. They came out real nice. I also gave them a couple of Iraqi Freedom hats. Everyone also got about 5 [SS] Patches that I had made up (patchesrus.com) which came out fantastic. We cried, we laughed, we ate more lobster and drank.
Darkness fell and good lord i dont think ive ever seen people so drunk in my life! Of course we wanted to "get" people while they were sleeping ie: apply shaving cream and insert hotdogs into various openings, now this is after about 8 Golden Monkies each consumed by [SS]SportoFu and [SS]Raiden who started a kind of drinking competition of sorts. So Sporto decides, "lets get steveo dude, lets hot dog and shaving cream him" he proceeded to walk into the garage not realizing that not only was steveo not in the garage, but not asleep and in the same room as the rest of us, lol. About 4-5 am [SS]Raiden started passing out 2-handed "high fives" and missed Cuervo and smacked him in the face, POW! Then he proceeded to go hot dog commando. Poor Chief, Raiden snuck up on him while he was sleeping and squatted over him with hot dog in tow, Chiefs Spidey Sense tingled and he turned around just fast enough to catch Raiden and scream NOOOOOOoooooooo!
We went looking for Sporto and found him in the kitchen having a conversation with his reflection in the oven door. About 5:30am the guys sleeping in the living room heard a thud (which was SportoFu passing out in the bathroom that he peed all over the floor of) I get up to pee and see him passed out face first in pee and decide to hit the other bathroom where i met Chief, we laughed about not wanting to pee over Sporto and went and dragged him back to bed.
Day 2: Paintball
After about 2 hours of sleep we ventured out for some paintballing. I didn't get to play myself cause my bum leg was acting up, but Chief took us to a field on base and we proceeded to tear it up. Played for about 2 hours before [SS]Grifter missed a step and plunged his ass into a ditch breaking his ankle and foot. We dragged his ass back to the van and proceeded to look for the hospital on base. No one seemed to know where it was so we chased down an ambulance driver who was stopping for lunch. Finally had to follow him to the hospital where they proceeded to tell us that they couldn't care for our man down because he wasn't enlisted. They plopped him in their ambulance and we followed them to the civilian hospital. I guess another few hours and x-rays later, they wrapped him up and we took him home.
Steve-o fired up the steaks they bought and we ate like kings again, played cards all night and drank what beer we had left before making another run to the store. Hooked up the PS2's and played some Socom and Shooter hit up Gran Turismo until we all passed out.
Day 3: Ship Tour
Chief used to be stationed on the Iwo Jima and was able to take us on a tour of the boat. He knew everyone and everything about it. He made people take pics of us and we got to eat at the Chief's Club where Sporto, Blitz and someone else forgot to remove his hat at which point the rest of the Chiefs in the bar excitedly rang the bell and got a free round of drinks on Sporto. Ate burgers and drank beers, bought some cool Navy swag. Went back to the house, picked up some horseshoes and drank and ate Raidens famous peppers, onions, potatoes and sausage on the grill. Went to see Batman Begins, (great btw) tried to get Grifter to fight another guy with crutches at the movie theater, then back to drinking, cards, socom and catching crabs on the intercoastal which bordered our backyard.
Day 4: LCAC Tour/Gun Range
Toured the Landing Craft Air Cushion vehicle today. Frickin awesome! They've got a few jet engines in there and can carry tanks onto the beach. Got the full tour from one of Chief's buddies there and got to sit in the cockpit and watched them drive around and park one of these bad boys. Headed over to the NSWG-2 (Naval Special Warefare Group 2) base or Seal Team 2, and was able to nab some great Seal gear. Made our way over to Bob's Gun range since a couple of the guys had never fired a weapon before. Rented Glock 21-.45's and .45 Beretta Cx4 Storm Rifle. Had a great time there, kept our targets and headed home. Cuervo left today.
Dropped Cuervo off at the airport, played some more socom and gt4, burgers and dogs on the grill, caught more crab off the dock and drank the rest of the beer. Now it's about midnight and we're standing around in the backyard beating up the crabs that we caught. We were punting them into the water, Sport gave one a spinning kick, and we made crab ladders (see how many crabs we could link together before they fell off like barrel of monkeys, man we were drunk!) Realized we were out of beer around 12:30 and started walking to the store. After hiking around to a handful of different places we finally found out that they dont sell beer anywhere in VA after midnight. So...off to the bar. Beers for everyone except Vapid who started off with a shot of Tequila. Then 2 Jager-bombs, then we made the bartender chick come our and do a shot with him. Then she started picking what he drinks. She made some kind of skittle shot and he downed 2 of those and a couple more Jager-bombs. A couple of beers later, last call, and we got a few more shots and drank our last beer. Man, Vapid must have had alcohol up to his adams apple cause as soon as he took that last sip of his last beer, POW it came right back up, and the rest of it made its appearance on his way out the front door. Blitz took him back, Sporto did a Han Solo and flipped the owner a $20 and said "Sorry about the mess", then we followed the barf trail home.
Back in the backyard for some more crab playtime. Raiden clipped one onto his thumb and it clamped down so hard that we had to use a knife to pry his claw off. Vapid stripped down buck naked and tried to clip one onto his lugnut with Raiden. Sporto had one on his arm and Blitz pierced his nipple with one after we clamped one onto Vapids bare ass. We were screaming laughing at about 3am when the old battleaxe next door slides open the window and yells 'The police are on their way!" Dammit!, Ok, get the naked drunk guy inside! The cops never showed and we went next door the next day and apologized to the old bat.
Day 5: Golf
Me, Chief, Blitz and Steve-o went and played 18 at HoneyBee where they made Chief buy a collared shirt that he ripped by the end of the round. We had a great time, but had to rush back to get Grifter back to the airport. Dropped him off, headed back, ate and drank on the porch and watched Team America till we passed out.
Day 6: Cleanup and Roll
Uh yeah, we cleaned up and rolled... We had a great time and thanks to Chief who set this WHOLE thing up, WOOO WOOOOOOO! Thanks to everyone who made it down, up, over and across. Can't wait till next time.
