Our hero has made it into Afghanistan! He is currently at Camp Marmal, which is near Mazar i Sharif in Northern Afghanistan. It is a relatively large military base with about five thousand multinational troops and is under German leadership. I found two interesting You Tube videos that you might like, but be warned they are both in German.
You can see from the map below where Mazar i Sharif is in relation to the rest of Afghanistan from this map. Hint: look in the north of Afghanistan, due west from Kondoz..
My understanding is that Jason will make his way with the other Bonecrusher Troop soldiers to COP Khiliguy tomorrow or the next day. He indicates that he is getting plenty to eat, that the temperature is hot with mountains to the South. One of the descriptions I heard of of Camp Marmal is that it reminds you of the bar scenes in the Star Wars movies. If you have any interest in Mazar i Sharif, here is a link to the Wikipedia article on it:

We have also been told that it is now ok to send anything you would like to Jason, so long as it is not alcohol or pornography. It takes at least two weeks for a letter to reach him, and about a month for a package. Nothing fresh can make to Jason, so don't even try. I will leave you with a picture of the Camp Marmal so you have an idea what it looks like:
