help me think of ways to get liquor to my cousin in Iraq

**Modulistic** · 03-15-2007, 08:05 AM

they are catching on to the whole "shove a flask up a teddybears ass" trick.

hes a fucking marine, he needs his alcohol to survive. I need some ideas and shit. he also requests some "good shit like hardcore slap a bitch porn lol" so any suggestions there would be nice too.

They have bars/clubs over there. Why does he need someone smuggling it to him? Unless, maybe he's not supposed to have it to begin with...

wouldnt suggest it they x-ray all incoming and out going packages..once you guys get caught and you both get into trouble..in the end is it worth it? You might get away with it once or even twice but eventually you will get caught..I'd love to have me a crown and coke but I wouldnt put none of my friends at risk to send me some or my career for that matter....and no we dont have bars clubs here we do have some sweet ass coors near beer though..good luck to yea

when i was over the best way was to put it in a diffrent bottle like a bottle of bbq for example. and if he's in the field like i was there are no clubs at all

send him an ipod loaded with porn

Get a bottle of mouthwash and use a razor blade to remove the plastic seal. Keep the seal to use later. Then pour out the mouthwash into a different container if you want to keep it. Rinse the container well and then fill it with the desired liquor (preferably clear or colored similar to mouthwash). Then put the lid on and fit the seal back around the top and use some clear superglue to re-seal it. Tell his dumbass to be careful with it too!!!

You can also make him a rum cake... Just remember too use a lot of rum in it and pack it in foil and a plastic ziplock with the air removed from the inside.

I have never seen a club there. If there are they won't let the common enlisted folk in.

They kept us out at a small base most of the time. I never saw a bar on base until Djibouti.

I retired before all this crap started, so I haven't been there. But... I work for Headquarters Marine Corps in the division that provides Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) services to all Marine Corps installations (including the ones in the sandbox). I know they have clubs there 'cause we send people/equipment to operate them and products (i.e., beer and other "adult" beverages) to sell. We even sponsor free beer and wings nights on ocassion.

younggun67: Alcohol in the field? I realize I'm not there, but I can't believe that's a good idea. I was in the grunts (81mm mortar platoon) for a number of years and deployed on more than a couple ocassions. Every so often someone would get ahold of a bottle or two you could almost bet there'd be trouble of some kind. We had people getting all kinds of crazy, and that was during peace time. Too much stupid crap happens when the cork comes off.

Good luck with that though,
Marc

Bro,

I have been to many bases there and never seen any kind of bar or club. It must be for O's and Senior SNCO's or invite only.

This is how we had a buddy's wife get booze to us in Iraq and Afghanistan. We ended up dumping a lot of it out though because they stepped up the random searches and there were a lot of accusations floating around.

I asked my cousin how many bars he has access to, he laughed in my fucking ear.
