Thanksgiving Week

Jason had a busy week in Hindu Kush...and Fayetteville for that matter.  He started the week getting to meet the Hungarian Minister of Defense, a Four Star Chief of Staff and the Command Sgt. Major of the Hungarian Defense Forces.  A pretty good group of folks according to Jason.  Later last week he was promoted to First Lieutenant, which put a smile on his face and in his wallet.  Here is a picture of his promotion which was taken on the golf course at COP Khiligay.

Jason wrote the following post on Thanksgiving Day which appeared on his Facebook wall:

There is a lot to be thankful for out there. Thankful to sleep in a warm bed at night and to wake up in the morning. Thankful to have a sackful of naan and a rice cooker to make some queso. Thankful to have a little black bar instead of a little gold one. Thankful to have a good group of guys over here with me. Thankful to be born in a place not resembling the bronze age. Thankful to know all of you. Wish I was back there, don't have too much fun without us.

He later added, and thanks for the TCU win!

Thanks to Mary Noel and Laura, while Jason was in Afghanistan his alter ego, Flat Jason, was in Fayetteville enjoying all Fayetteville had to offer.  You can see that Nancy was still a little bitter over the Longhorn's loss to TCU.  At the same time, Jason is still smiling!  Below are several photos of Flat Jason from the Arkansas-LSU game:
