Re: It's hot
Fort Polk, Louisiana is home to the Joint Readiness Training Center. Before units deploy they come here and spend 30 days training. This last rotation I was an attachment. I played the role of an Iraqi Captain and the training units leadership had to attempt to work with me and my company. Anyway the soldiers were from Fort Lewis, Washington. I have never seen so many heat casualties in my life. Averaged over 5 a day. Out of my 90 soldiers who worked 15+ hr days over the same period we didn't have a single one. High 90's temp wise but 100% humidity and no wind make it pretty tough. Not to mention all the gear we wear.
