I heard from Jason over the weekend that all was going well in Afghanistan. The days are a little boring, but he candidly admits that boring beats the alternative. He also said that he is getting outside of the wire a bit, and when he goes outside the wire it breaks up the monotony of his daily grind. Jason said the weather is getting a little cooler, especially at night. He said that they figure the weather at COP Khiligay most closely resembles the weather in Buffalo, New York. So the nights will definitely start getting colder.
Home Sweet Home
While there are no chips to be purchased any where along the route outside the wire, he did say that there is a local bread which is a lot like Naan that is pretty good and available for purchase in some Afghan villages. The guys apparently put peanut butter and Nutella on it to make it a little bit better. They don't get any fresh bread to speak of, so the Naan like bread takes the place of regular bread, chips and crackers...unless they are sent something from the states.
