Ooooooo, a Heat Wave


"Hot, humid air is blanketing wide areas of the nation this week..." with a heat index of 105. Oooooo. I'm thow thorry for everyone.

This week we've been outside in 50 lbs of body armor (that don't breath) in areas of 115 degrees. I have no idea what the heat index is, but I'm sure it amounts to somewhere between really hot and damn hot.

I've experienced the heat during my first rotation out here, so it isn't exactly new to me. But I really don't think that it is something that anyone really gets used to. However, it does add to your appreciation for air conditioning and the vast network that supports such devices.
