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.

Finally we connected!

Had a quick IM with Brad this morning - the first in a WHILE! He didn't have a camera or mic - but he could see and hear Sawyer an I. He is well. At TK - a large base. It must be at a lot lower elevation, as the weather is much more temperate - he says up to 80 during the day. No more hats and wooly socks. The main job sounds monotonous - largely comprised of 12 hour guard shifts. He says he is well and misses everyone.

New Address

Brad has moved to the base.  It is FOB Ripley.  He says there are a lot more people and amenities there.  Not sure what his mission will be, and still no details on the reason for the move.  Will hopefully have more details soon. 

His new address is very similar to the old one -- just without the addition of VSP information. 

PFC JACKSON, CHARLES
FOB RIPLEY
SOTF-SE
APO AE 09380

I know he would love to hear from any of you out there.  He does check facebook occasionally.  More later.

Move Update

I did hear from Brad. He is moving from the village he was in to a base. Not sure why, but will follow up with address and details when I have them!
