The 3-7 Cav left last night for Afghanistan on a Virgin Atlantic flight to Kabul. The Officers are all in first class and Jason called from the piano bar on the upper deck. I could tell he was enjoying one of his favorite brands of champagne before his filet and lobster meal. Oh wait, that is what they tell the new recruits. In actuality, Jason left last night in what I think is the final wave of the 3-7 Cav's departure for Afghanistan. The trip takes about four or five days to COP Khiliguy and the only form of transportation he doesn't take is a donkey. He did call before he left and seemed genuinely excited and ready for his mission. His last Facebook post was classic Jason:
Well America, it's been fun. Time for a little Afghan vacation. Friends and Facebook creepers, see you in nine months or so! Feel free to keep me entertained through here or via my address to follow...

We probably won't hear from him until he gets to COP Khiliguy, but if we do I will fill you in. The plane for the first leg of his journey is below.
