I’m taking this opportunity to vent. I just got back from a year long deployment from a snowy, mountainous region. I’m geared for cold, used to the cold. Even at the hieght of summer there, it was like … 70°F. They decided to demobilize us in El Paso, TX!!! It’s murderously hot here every day, and our barracks don’t have AC!!! So after walking around all day in a head to toe uniform in Texas desert heat, I don’t even get the luxury of feeling cold, crisp air 😭😭😭
It’s stories like this that make me glad to have joined the Air Force during peacetime. The closest I got to what you’re experiencing is walking from my car to the office.
Yes, this deployment taught me I need to switch to the air force when my contract is up. I like being in the military, I’m just over being army infantry. I did the cool guy stuff! Get me a desk job!!
