Jason made it to COP Khiliguy on Saturday. He actually called yours truly on Saturday night (our time) while I was at the Arkansas Razorbacks/Jacksonville State football game. We talked for a couple of minutes and he got to talk to Johnny Dallas for a quick minute or so. He was able to call from the USO tent which he has at least some access to, although he has to pay for the calls. The calls are clear, with a little delay and the call was dropped in the middle of our conversation, but he called right back. He does have the use of the internet from time to time, but I am not sure if he has it in his tent or if he has to go to the communications tent to get on line.
He was happy to be at COP Khiliguy and he indicated that it "was better than I thought it would be." He will not have a separate tent, but he isn't sure what his ultimate accommodations will be as the Troop they are replacing is still there for another two weeks. During that time he said that his Bonecrusher Troop would basically learn the routine from the guys that will be leaving. He did add that the place did not smell good, in fact, it stunk. I couldn't tell whether that was outside or in the tent he was calling from, but I told him that I had sent a bottle of Febreze in his first package. The only thing he asked for was stuff to make cheese dip. I asked him how he was going to cook it and he said that he would find a way...
He sent the photo below, which was the last photo he took in Marmal:
