Reply #7: Army

[Zuni]

These two are in an AF security unit that provides security for airfields. They patrol the areas around the airfields and secure the area when planes are coming in, because of SAMs. The Army does long range patrolling. These two, on patrol in 120 degree heat said you become doused with sweat, and then get covered in sand. When it rains, the soil does not absorb mud and becomes very muddy and dangerous.
I can only imagine that the Army is even worse off. It is hot, sandy, cold as heck at night and in some areas very dangerous.
