The Birthday Boy...er, Lt.

Jason got to watch the TCU-Kansas game on the Armed Forces Network as part of Uncle Sam's birthday gift.  He said he wished the Frogs had put up more points, but that a win was a win.  Here are two pictures of his TCU flag flying over Afghanistan which he flew prior to the game.

The football news was not so good outside of the Frogs, with Army losing by a point, the Cowboys getting routed and the Razorbacks still waiting to play Alabama.  Jason reported that he had received his first packages from home and that he enjoyed their contents, as did the guys in his platoon.  From what I can tell the packages took a little over two weeks to get from Fort Worth and Fayetteville to COP Khiligay.   He is still trying to figure out how to get tortilla chips to Afghanistan and that the food is so bland that he really enjoyed the hot sauce and spices he received in some of his first packages.
