BTLN TRIVIA

 

 

 

 

Steve Chursinoff(a.k.a. The Mill Lake Fisherman) came to the shop today and we started talking about the Maylong campout and it got me excited about this years edition! So I started looking at some old pictures and realized that there were alot of sergeants in the pictures. The question is how many sergeants do you see? Do not count anyone more than once. If you are really good, list the year or years that they were sergeant. See how many other people that you recognize. Lots of good memories in those pictures!

roy ALLEN & frank WRIGHT

so battalion was as always awesome! but i was surprised to find that we did not play the traditional murderball instead we play what i call mike 23 i call it this because no one seems to know if its really 2 or 3 i guess we should just ask mike......anyway the game was wicked! Dylan did the bible study tonight and did a great job! we read the chapter in hebrews 11 where it goes over the men of faith and recapped what are main theme was which was great and on top of that he talked about baarack (have no idea how to spell and im in my bed right now so im too lazy to go get it sorry) it was a crazy story cause it seems weird that this guy would make this list of men of faith but after looking at the story with dylan we find that he did in fact have faith! there was a great showing of guys tonight and it was awesome to see so many new and familiar faces! later we played bulldog and for the guys well ummm i actually forgot his name and im terribly sorry so someone will have to leave a comment or post later on who won! we also had legend josh trainer out which is always a treat! as far as predictions we went to roy ALLEN & frank WRIGHT as for the rest i was wrong which puts me at world-2900 ben-2587 i got some catching up to do ;) all in all it was a great night and i was happy to be there for it!

BTLN NIGHT 08

 

 

 

 

First of all congratulations to Nathan Ball for winning the Ping Pong tourney in back to back years! With Nathan's win he now pulls into a three-way tie with Devin and Drew for Winston. Brigade night went really well Devin, Nathan, Drew and David all recited a passage in front of the church. Way to go guys it takes alot of courage to stand in front of everyone like that! Jason and Devin did top ten reasons to come to Battalion, which I hope to put on the blog later this week! Ben made a Creationfest promo video that was really sweet as well as preparing the slideshow. We also had appearances by other alumni, Dan, Charlie and Joe. By the way if you read this tomorrow and it doesn't make sense thats because it is 2:00 A.M. Anyway I'm sure it was one of the biggest turnouts that we have ever had, the gym was really full. It was awesome! Thanks to everyone who helped me set up and then take it all down. Thanks also goes out to the Jepsens for having us all over after the night was over. I just love sitting around talking about old times. Time to go, see yah Wednesday!

Will D-Pod return to the final, this time to take home the trophy? Or is there a dark horse out there in the Btln Nation who can capture the title? All these questions will be answered this week! Good luck to all.

Btln update

 

 

Congrats to Drew and D-Pod on their B-DOG wins! Drew has now caught Devin in the race for Winston! Both Drew and Devin have three wins. This week we played Mike to the extreme, yah there was some foreshadowing in the Btln original series. Devins team took the victory in Mike, followed closely by Dylan and Jason's teams. Ryley did the Bible study, it was on Gideon. Ryley told us that we need to trust in God and not in men! After Bible study we played B-DOG. We tried with the strobe it was a little sketchy so we turned the lightsback on. Guys were dropping like flies. Another good week at Battalion!(not that we want guys to go home hurt) see yah Wednesday!

THE CAPTAIN

BTLN ORIGINAL SERIES-MIKE

 

 

This will be the first in a series of Btln originals.(Things invented at Battalion)Now when I say that Mike is a Btln original I am not talking about Mike Hughes. (although it is no doubt that Mike Hughes is an original)I am talking about the game invented by Mike Hughes. I found bouncy balls that had a light in them and wasn't sure what to do with them, I was sure that we could use them at Battalion but couldn't figure out what. I showed the guys and it didn't Mike long to think of something to do with them. He(Mike)decided that we should make two teams, number everyone off, turn the lights off in the gym and bounce the ball into the middle of the gym. What insued was chaos, Mike was born! All you had to do was run into the middle of the gym and take possesion of the ball when your number was called. Many concussions and bruises later Mike has evolved(I hate this word, Mike has evolved the world has not)we now play with four teams, we call multiple numbers and play with more than one ball. We have now started playing with the strobe light, spawning the name MIKE TO THE EXTREME. Mike is for sure a Btln original and definately one of the best games that we play.

BTLN HOODIES
