A little break

Jason called Friday from Marmal, the larger German base near Mozar e Sharif, where he and another guy had gone for additional material for COP Khiligay.  He was somewhat excited about the prospect of different food and other options that Marmal has to offer.  They apparently have a rather large PX which allowed him to buy an exterior hard drive for his computer and some other good things.  They also have a large German dining hall which offers some pretty good stuff, not to mention a Pizza Hut...which isn't exactly available at COP Khiligay.  I sort of see this like a trip Klinger might have taken to Seoul during the old MASH days.  The ride there took about an hour by helicopter, but the drive he will be taking back takes about ten hours.  Not much fun.  The attached picture shows where the lonely caterpillar died between his upper lip and the bottom of his nose...
