I got a phone call today!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I heard from Jeff today! He called me while I was at work and it was so wonderful to hear his voice! Other than being tired, he said that he was doing well. Their first stop was in Germany, and now they are at an Air Force base "somewhere in old Russia" as Jeff said. Barb (a woman I work with and has 2 grandsons in the Marines, God bless her) said that he was probably in Khasakistan...I know I totally messed up that spelling, but you guys get the picture! Jeff said that they should be leaving tomorrow for Afghanistan and should be at their FOB within the week. Jeff did tell me the highlight of being in Germany and at the base now...they are all allowed to have 2 beers within 24 hours! So this morning, Jeff had his first taste of Russian beer, which he said wasn't too bad! As I hear more, I will update everyone...Jeff sends his love, and so do I!
