#3. "You can find palletized boxes of bottled water between every building and tent, and the top ones are usually torn open and falling apart."

Adding to this LOL, in my 4 deployments to 120°+ temps, the "top shelf" H20's were HOT, as in dump those babies in the community shower water bladders!!! BUT, don't forget to trudge through the gravel in shower shoes & grab urself a new case of foot fungus LOL!!! Oh, & our community showers were "see through" meaning, if u showered at night under the lights, ur sillowette (sp?) was totally exposed! Man, I saw my UNnecessary share of all things hanging haha! Loved this article ;)

My experience was in the prison complex where it would invariably be 140 degrees in the shade. Taking all of your stuff off and going to urinate in the infernal "blue box" with sweat going down your gluteal cleft, and then stepping out and it feels like air conditioning. Irony!!!!!

MAJ Rene De La Rosa - Tooooooo Funny/Ironically 120° - 140° in the SHADE. I appreciate the camaraderie w/which military humor unites us LOL.
