The report said strippers “bit his nipples to keep him awake, and repeatedly had his card swiped.”

An Army aviation battalion apparently recreated parts of The Hangover during a recent deployment to Poland in September 2020, according to a new report in Stars & Stripes.

Citing the Army’s official 15-6 investigation report, Stripes revealed on Monday that the executive officer of the 1st Battalion of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade went missing after a night of drinking in Gdansk last year and was later suspected of being drugged and bitten by strippers at an off-limits nightclub.

The incident occurred during a nine-month rotation in Poland after roughly 40 members of the unit traveled to the port city in the country’s north to take a tour of World War II battlefields.

The soldiers instead took an abbreviated tour since they were busy retracing their steps from the prior evening when Conner was last seen outside the Obsession Club, a strip club subject to so many complaints that one travel site says to avoid the place like the plague. Many people say that the club lures visitors by giving away free shots that are laced with drugs after which they tend to wake up in a hospital beaten and stripped of cash and personal belongings.

This appears to be in part what happened to Conner, an Apache helicopter pilot who went to Obsession with other soldiers after a dinner to celebrate the battalion sergeant major’s 40th birthday that evening.

Just a little something to round out your news consumption for the day......

1. Gotta watch out for those stripper bites

They easily get infected.

2. Bit his nipples ??

That’s a 10 on the weird shit-o-meter.

[rsdsharp]

3. This guy is a field grade officer and a battalion XO?

That certainly makes me feel more secure.

[Hortensis]

6. As a senior officer and gentleman, he was allowed to resign.

4. Man, I hate when that happens (nt)

16. Someone had to say it.

7. I love this line....

Though the report did not determine how the night ended, Conner was found in a different hotel the next morning by the unit’s sergeant major and battalion commander, Lt. Col. Matthew Fix.

He had a very bad morning.

It also notes that the Lt. Col is facing forced retirement / separation, and that the Major will be pushed out.

8. Just a quick Google search would've told him...

... what to expect!

The Google reviews for that place are one nightmarish story after another!

You can kiss those silver oak leaves goodbye, Sparky.

I hope not, but I’ll bet he is.

15. In Poland, in my experience, there is no need to look for trouble.

It will come looking for you.

I was there on some joint task I was doing with their government, and at about 10:00 in the evening, I got a call on my hotel room phone from some youngish-sounding woman saying, in English, that she was there to come see me. I said that she must have the wrong room, as I had no appointments to see anyone outside of government offices, and certainly not at 10:00 PM. She insisted that no, she was there to see me, and could come right up. That did the trick, and let me know what was going on. The hotel management had to be in on it, as there was no other way for someone to call my room, and know that it was occupied, and what language I spoke. I then said, sternly and in Russian, that there was a mistake, понимаешь? (understand?) and THAT made her say, "oh," and hang up real quick. It's one thing to try to drug and rob a visiting American. It's another to be mistakenly be connected to the room of a possible member of the Russian mafia.
