[quote name='Midnightdriver' date='Jul 21 2005, 10:34 PM']thats hot?? it was 100 deg. by 7am this morning..and will top about 130 today. and its not the hot month yet..thats next month..I love this primitave country I'm in.
[snapback]741423[/snapback] [/quote] 130 dry heat <<< 100 humid heat. trust me. even all of the army guys I know that have come home said 100 degrees over there feels about like 75-80 here because of the lack of humidity. Nevada's the same way. |
the 130+* temps i was subjected to was worse than the 90*+ temps in NC that i'm used to.. I can't wait for the 130's when i get to Kandahar this week.

[snapback]741498[/snapback] [/quote] but the shade in places like that is, what? 20 degrees cooler or something? edit// not trying to say its not bad. I sure as hell don't want to be out in it. |
[quote name='defprun' date='Jul 21 2005, 09:13 PM']i work next to hot ovens and fryers!
i dont work next to hot evens and if i did theyd be female ones... [snapback]741322[/snapback] [/quote] So do i, but our jobs are relatively easy in comparision.working on vehicles sucks in the heat, rolling around on the ground, not usually any good a/c in the shop, maybe a open garage door, which doesn't usually help much. |

edit// not trying to say its not bad. I sure as hell don't want to be out in it. [snapback]741500[/snapback] [/quote] Yeah its not all that bad sometimes. Honestly I prefer it to Southern Georgia. You gotta remember though. We are in long pant and shirts. Have a kevlar on you're head that seals the heat in. Also 40-50lbs of body-armor, ammo, weapons, water, radios, etc.... |

[snapback]741564[/snapback] [/quote] THAT part would suck. I would go everywhere naked if I could. I'd go nuts and have a heat stroke with all that gear on. Closest I get is a long sleeve shirt, jeans with kevlar chaps over them, a helmet, earmuffs (sound deadening) Leather gloves, and big ass kevlar lined boots. Thats pretty damn hot. And thats working in the woods/swamp where its like 89879324% humidity. fish could live out of water there's so much humidity in the damn air. I'm glad I'm not doing that every week anymore. Like once a month for 3 or 4 days now... |
