December settles in...

December has brought changes to the Hindu Kush as it gets colder, especially at night.  Jason is pulling through although he wishes the tents were a little warmer.   Army-Navy was a disappointment, but it was the closest game in the last ten years.  Jason wants to thank everyone that has sent packages to him at COP Khiligay and posted this on his Facebook page:

To have friends and family care enough about you to send things to remind you of home while you are away means more that you could ever know, a HUGE thank you to everyone back there.  These are from today.  Sometimes Afghanistan isn't bad at all.  No mess hall for us tonight!

As most folks know, COP Khiligay also has a contingent of German soldiers.  Jason got to take the German marksman test, and he apparently aced it!  Below is a copy of the certificate and medal he received.  He can't wear the medal because he is an officer, but it is pretty cool looking anyway.
