On this episode of Cigars and Sea Stories Bennett Tanton and Michael J. Penney are telling tales of times spent playing while on deployment. Football, baseball, and believe it or not, hockey were all played while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Bennett has some lovely tellings of days spent playing on the Army’s various sports leagues. (I guess the Army does that) Another tell tale sign that the Army is a GD corporation!!!  Whew, that escaltated…

Meanwhile, the Marines are jumping through the rope of DEATH…

Listen as Mike shares what it’s like coming to the realization that a jump roping accident just might kill him. And, is it really an accident when your dumbass voluntarily jumps into the world’s most dangerous game of doubledutch?

There was good times spent playing soccer with kids. Little barefoot people running around for the simple joy of loving life. Talk about building a solid rapport. Playing games is one unifying way to keep everyone happy and working together. Human expressions are shared between every culture and race around the globe. Everywhere you go, a smile is a smile in every language. The same goes for reactions. Such as when a person gets beaned in the head with a soccer ball the universal reaction is always, “OOOHHHHHHH!”. Then check to see if they’re ok. HAHAHA.
