One of our own loyal Hardmaps gamers is in Afganistan and will be there a year or so. TrooperAZ (jay) games with most of the HmS and with Shempie, Dustflap, c buck, semprifri, HmS tiger, and he is a very great guy to be with and to game with.
He left 2 days ago and is almost there, Jay will be gone for a year and I hope and pray that he will be safe.
So from me I wish the safest of tours Troop. Keep your head down and your rifle loaded.

Jason has been messaging me at least twice a day since he left. He's safe and bored :D I'm sure he won't be able to keep up that frequency but for now I for one find it comforting. I'm sure he'll be able to post in here but if for some reason he can't I'll keep everyone updated.

About a month ago (i think) Trooper's unit was assigned to escort a MSNBC film crew around. The video is out. They used some of the footage for a recent piece on gays in the military. Troop is in the background a few times especially towards the end. The best shot of him however is at 1:00-1:10 where he's putting on his helmet. I'm very proud of him and miss him badly. He's coming home for a short break (2 weeks I think) He's leaving Afghanistan on Jan 13th so will be home in time for his birthday on the 17th.
