Heard from Brad this morning -- we had an IM chat over skype. He is in Afghanistan. He's at a FOB (Forward Operating Base) for another day or so. He is fine. He says its hot during the day and cold at night, and feeling a lot more "real".
Here is his address:
PFC JACKSON, CHARLES
FOB RIPLEY (VSP SARAW)
SOTF-SE
APO AE 09380
It will take 3-4 weeks for anything sent to him to get from the post office here to him in his village. Its my understanding that the shipping costs we pay are from our sending location to New York -- and packages are sent centrally from there overseas, then to Afghanistan, then to village. Will send additional information if I get it.
Brad has logged on to this Blog -- so if you publish a comment, he will can see it here.

Do you know Albert Alvarez, he has the same mailing address as you and he's my nephew?
