Brad left for Afghanistan on November 7th, 2012. It will be a long 9 months! I am going to try to post news and updates as I get them. Any of you who hear from Brad, feel free to post too. And please post questions as well. Who knows, Brad may be able to access and post too -- which would be great.

Merry Christmas Update!

Hello All,

Had a nice Christmas Eve chat with Brad -- and he sends his Merry Christmas best wishes to all of you!

He woke up Christmas Eve to 12 packages!  He had had mail only once, and it had been a couple of weeks -- so this was a great Christmas surprise.  Hats (warm and the santa-variety), long underwear, LOTS of snacks and sweets, and even a few things that he says he can barter for guard duty shifts!  Thanks to all of you who have sent things his way.  

He had light duty for Christmas, which was nice, and was anticipating a Christmas dinner that was to include some locally captured ducks -- very interested to hear how that was! Will include an update on that in my next post if I hear anything.
