and the green jacket goes to........

well the last night of battalion outside of the mylong coming up was the golf tourny! we had about 30 guys all together at the par three golf course. we started out with a putt off having everyone putting and whoever was the furtherest away from the hole was out if the game! it went slow but ended up with alumni Ryley Hep and Nate Ball. the last hole was a far one but Ryley had is game on and won the 5 buck tourny! we then proceeded to a night golf tourny! we all recieved glow in the dark golf balls and broke into teams. the was a prize for the top 3 scores and the best combined score with one team. after lotsa night golfing it up we came back to check the scores! we had 3rd Charlie langis 2nd Nate Ball 1st JORDAN WALSH! yes 2 years in a row Jordan walsh wins the green jacket! good job man. and the team that won the best combined score was Jordan Team as well! good work guys! now all thats left is the Maylong crib tourny where Taylor W and Cam T will try and defend their title! but after the final battalion night depression and excitment all blend in together. its good to take a break but also sucks having no battalion. in other news me and Jay are making maylong campout t shirts. we plan to keep them under 10 bucks if you are interested PLEASE email me at linden_16@hotmail.com or leave a comment with your shirts size otherwise you WILL NOT GET ONE! i need to know by the end of the week or they will not happen! thanks! i hope you guys have a great rest of the year and summer! stay tuned i plan to keep posting stuff till september when a new guy will take over! have a great week guys.

battalion 06/07 im glad i could take part!

well the night has come and it has gone! it was one heck of a night last night and i hope you did not miss it! so the night started off with lance setting up a net and his radar gun to see who could throw a ball the fastest! if i can remember right Kenny J had the fastest throw with close to 80 mph and Jordan W was next with 75 mph! its scary thinking murder balls are coming at you that fast! we had a total of approx 56 guys including blog legend Steve C in the flesh! as well as 5 new grade 6 guys who will hopefully step up for next year! we then lined up for the last time with Jason making his last commands as sarg. after that we proceeded to the black line to have a 25 on 25 murderball death match! it was crazy! but for the last game of the 06/07 season i was able to be on the winning murderball team! after throwing our guts out we got to eat a massive subway sub which took no problem to get down! while we were finishing eating Lance handed out CSB belt buckles and NIV study Bibles with their names on them for the grads........alas some one got left out mistakes happen i guess we all love ya chuck! ;) we then formed our circle (which was massive) and prayed our last prayer for the season Lance leading the way. and whats a night at battalion without bulldog? Dev C started in the middle and what i thought would take forever actually went pretty quick leaving Nathan Ball the victor for the last bulldog for awhile. way to go man always good to have you out! so has far as the predictions i was wrong on all 3...............ben-853 world-856 good work world i tried. we slowly filtered out of the church but 20 of us didnt stop the party! we jumped in cars trucks and buses for some BP in castlegar. we all met together and chowed down 8 large za's. it was awesome. we then went to 7 11 for drinks (NOS) and flash lights for our journy! hee hee. last year we wanted to go down to the pot holes outside of the Lake but didnt have anything but a burning shirt so we decided against it (with Ryleys help). but this year (last night) we had our flashlights and trecked down the hill to see the wonderous pot holes and watch Lance soak his foot in a puddle! hee hee. we jumped back into the bus and cranked the tunes back home with some MxPx, Furthermore, Emery, Grits and Jars of Clay! clocking out at 12:30 the night had come to an end but the memories will never end when it comes to 3739.

Goodbye my old friends

2 Timothy-2:1-3
You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Well the day has come the final Battalion of the 06/07 season. its a sad day but also a day of celebration! we have some guys graduating from battalion this year and they are heading out of school and battalion to new worlds! im terribly sorry if i forgot someone but i believe Jason H, Jordan W, Joel F, Mike T, Charlie L, and Evan P are all graduating this year! we at the Battalion Blog salute you guys and wish you luck for your future! but tomorrow though sad will be a blast! we will have lotsa boys out as well as some familiar faces from the past! YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS THIS NIGHT!!! we will be meeting at the Gospel Chapel church at 7:00 so please show up between 6:30 and 7:00. it will be a full packed night with games, food, and prizes (mainly for the grads). one of the most exciting things of the night will be the reaveling of the hebrew on the back of our t shirts! but wait only the grade 12's get to find out what it says and they can only tell the girl they marry so dont bother to try and get it out of them unless you want to marry them! (hear that girls.........Mike T is single). so the final predictions i will ever make on the battalion blog.....................:( 1. we will hit a new record with 60 guys out 2. Though he will be in the pictures Ryley Heppner will not show up in any pictures taken tonight once they have been developed. 3. our Faithful leader Lance Martens will shed a tear (either from joy or from pain you decide). so there ya have it the score is World-853 Ben-853 its down to the final run world your going down!!! so dont forget if your in grade 11 or 12 you are invited for a battalion after party in castlegar with some vets! also this saturady is the night golf tourny! meet at the church at 6:30 PM with 10 bucks if anything changes check back ill make sure to let you know here! also if you are interested in purchasing a maylong t shirt please call or email me at linden_16@hotmail.com or call me at 442 8782. i need your shirt size and your name so i know how many to make. and if you order one theres no backing out you have to pay me hopefully no more then 10 bucks for a shirt!

For the Grads i have a passage for you-

Proverbs- 23:17,18

Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the Lord. there is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

I challenge you guys to hold on to your passions and dreams! dont settle for anything less or the easy way out! itll be hard with satan trying to cut you down but be zealous for the fear of the Lord and your hope will not be cut off. keep it real for Christ

Revelation 8:10-11

The Third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- THE NAME OF THE STAR IS WORMWOOD. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

Treadmill Update

With 48 days left until May Long 07, my dad and i felt it appropriate to check up on Treadmill beach. We were out fishing honing our skills to perfection for the big weekend. We rounded the corner and the beach came into view. There was still snow, how ever is not a big problem because with the 20 degree plus days were having, it is going to melt like butter in a microwave. As we started to troll towards the beach a familiar sound came to my ear, flowing water. This is expected when we camp at a beach named after a creek, but in the distance I could see the water flowing down the beach! For those of you that don't know this beach or have never been, it is about a 5 minute walk to the creek and the bridge. We landed the boat and I got out to investigate. It turns out that the Pod's may need to find a new camping spot. I assume that somewhere up the creek the banks broke and we now have our own creek in camp.
This brings up a few questions.




a) Where the heck are the pods going to camp, because as it stands they are flooded out.

b) Could we possible make any money off this? Think of it Treadmill springs. I did take the time to test the water, and well, it taste awesome, and I'm still alive, so I say we sell it.

c) How big of a dam can we make? For all those people that read this, us guys, once we see flowing water, it is like an addiction, we start damming the water up.

d) How much of a beach will we have left when high water comes and that small creek grows?


This also brings me to more good news, From what I had time to explore of our "new" beach, I found some fallen tree's. Now some may say well ya no kidding, but in past years we have had to go searching high and low for a dead tree, these two i found right away are also just above pods camping spot, so this will be a nice quick year to get our fire wood.




The main question for May Long 07 is who is going to catch the biggest fish and win the prize of $50 Steve Chursinoff has put up for the prize?
