Iraq Heat

[0landese]

Holy balls. I thought living in las vegas sucked ass cause it hit 110 haha.

[chicagoinsanitypb]

all that bs about him shaving make what ever excuse u want if and when his unit gets hit by a gas attack his black ass will be dead cuz his mask wont properly seal another example of army standards at their finest

[gmtcman]

His thermometer is exposed to direct sunlight, which will give an erroneously high reading. Official accurate temperature readings are taken in full shaded shelter from solar radiation, even reflected rays. Still plenty hot to get a 132 reading, though, no doubt - I'd guess at least 120 degree air temp.

[anpmech]

I bet you don't get used to that.

[neotokonaut]

Okay that watch says 6:58:47 that is almost two hours after five o'clock in the afternoon.

[ClarkKasheta]

@neotokonaut It says 16:58. A glare is over the 1. Military time.

[neotokonaut]

@ClarkKasheta oh i see thank you

[kingmigget]

@neotokonaut it says 16:58.. which would be 4:58 pm

GEZAAS

[pyr0static]

But it's a dry heat >.>

Nah I don't care what the humidity is, 130+ is gonna be darned hot.

[dmummey]

sometimes black men can get a "profile" for shaving because they will get horrible rashes n their face. JUSY a thought.

[usmcmisfit]

ok im jw why this soldier has a full blown beard

[ninnymuggins80]

@usmcmisfit he might be in an MI unit, sometimes they get relaxed grooming standards

[chobag]

@usmcmisfit or spec ops, but doubt it

[ClarkKasheta]

@usmcmisfit Shaving profile. Black dudes have thick hair, so when they shave, they can get ingrown hairs that are very painful.

[AlaskanRattlesnake]

So its the heat thats drives the Iraqi's crazzy and makes them what to blow up them selves .... Now I understand

[LOLitsJono]

"Certain brands of Casio watch"

[TheFiestyterrorist]

[Schluerfer]

@shoreviewvic i also had it during my time at the german forces, pretty good except its not waterproof

[shoreviewvic]

I was in the Marines and ummmmmmmmm your watch is awesome! The ultimate grunt watch is the casio illuminator,,,,g-shock sux and overpriced! Casio illumintaor,,u know you used that thing as a flashlight half the time. Watch is gangster!

[paragonx11]

130.... man when did you go? during spring time? It gets up to like 150-160 around noon time during the summer............... your boots melts on the hot surface of the damn cement........

[Schluerfer]

he's got my watch!

[shoreviewvic]

@Schluerfer Yep Casio illuminator baby,,had one from 2004-2008 3rdLAR USMC

[csrtitus]

no shave profile FTW!!

[sbkid925]

is it just plain heat or humidity too? cause if it was 130 heat and humidity, i would kill myself.

[totorhcp]

you like a nice dude so get the fuck out of iraq before the heat kills you

[hvguy]

not to be racist or anything... but it would suck to be black, tends to soak up sunlight more than lighter colors =( i feel your pain buddy

[truthadvance]

Well, this the beauty of being black, having that ancient man's skin, its magical, when its real hot, their is a carbon based chemical called melanin in black man's skin, it will darken and you see the skin turn from brown to darker brown, thus protect skin. that is why black people don't burn, or their skin doesn't shade even when it gets to 135. See you learnt something. Amazing isn't it?

[hvguy]

@truthadvance didnt realize being black had any advantages.

sounds like we should start up a deporting company... move Louisiana to Iraq

[Kra7as]

Get that thermometer away from sun ray and remeasure, the sun shine tends to make thermometers measure incorrectly.

By the way you look like a good man, stay alive not much left til you get out. Both the American soldiers and the people of Iraq have suffered a lot in this war and we are both happy it's finally over.

[signig44]

Nice scruff you got growin.
