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.

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.

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....

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 *** 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...

 

 

humidity here was 75% today. the lowest its been in a couple weeks.



High was 97 feels like 115... damn.
