Nuking FOB Cropper

[Smokey550i]

Getting my nuke ready. Thanks to Tom1026, some generous guys at work (Scott AFB, my TinderBox B&M, and the general contractor building my project) I'm currently up over 300 sticks. The intended target is FOB Cropper Cigar Club in Baghdad. The president is Col Linda Ross, MS.

They just started up last month and got their first bomb (100 sticks) that I sent out to the sand. Intended target was a brother over there, but he sent the sticks down range and passed on the contact info.

Decided to nukem this time. Should be sending it out in early January.

later,

I speak for myself and all of my deployed brothers and sisters when I say that it means so much for us to receive packages like this. Many of the soldiers didn't even get a care package for Christmas out here. I'm sure you'll be making all of those cigar smokers a great way to break in the new year. Thank you for your support!

Hi, all - attended my first Cropper Cigar Club get together last night, New Year's Eve. Good times, Good Friends, Good smokes. I'm new to Iraq, and new to the forum - so Hello everyone! Special thanks to all for your support. Just got my first CI order delivered, and will unbox and set up my humidor soon. Incredible service from those guys!

Smokey - if you have an address you want to PM to me, the least I can do is send you a Cropper Cigar Club T-shirt; let me know your size, Brother!

Thanks Again!

Great job Smokey! :thumbsup:

Our brave brothers and sisters need to know that their stateside BOTL/SOTL'er's still care about them and keep them in our prayers!

Be safe over there and thank you for your service to our country and for keeping me and my family safe! :thumbsup:



(Smokey, owning that T-shirt would be way cool my brother and something you should be very proud of!)

Just for general info -

Cropper is properly termed a Camp, not a FOB.

A FOB is a Forward Operating Base, specifically, "An airfield used to support tactical operations without establishing full support facilities. The base may be used for an extended time period. Support by a main operating base will be required to provide backup support for a forward operating base."

A Camp is "A group of tents, huts, or other shelter set up temporarily for troops, and more permanent than a bivouac."

I know, we in the military don't speak English, but I'm sure someone was wondering about the alternate references to Cropper as both a Camp and a FOB. I can't be the only OCD sufferer here. :grin:
