Blazing Benning

Wow, it's HOTT!!!! I knew that being down here during the summer months was going to be highly uncomfortable due to the heat and humidity. Honestly, I didn't think that it was going to be this hot. We have PT early in the morning. I'm soaked after our sessions. After we finished our ruck march yesterday, I was drenched. It looked like I took a shower with my ACU's on. The only part of my uniform that was dry was the OCS insignia on my chest.

We have 15-20 formations a day. There is hardly any shaded areas in our formation area. We step outside and are sweating instantly. Within 5 minutes, I literaly have sweat rolling down my stomach, back and legs. It's the worst feeling in the world. On a brighter side, I would rather sweat my A$$ of any day of the year than freeze.

The downside of all this, it's only July. In August we are going to the field for three weeks. Talk about some stinky bodies out there running around. phew!
