I took this a little while back. It was inside with 2 AC's running.

So..

111 degrees? With two AC's? Where do you live, the 7th layer of hell?

^ Based on the pic, Jun 11th, the background...somewhere in the AOR. That's deployment furniture.

Diver

yup.

Agree with diver. That "furniture" looks distubingly like mine.

LOL

So it is the seventh layer of hell then.

Be cool man.... and safe.

Yes, its Iraq...and I think (just my opinion after 4 tours here) that they should invent another layer of hell just for this place.

Thank you for your service. God bless you.

Make sure you are getting cigars from our donations!

Thank you and be safe.

I remember sitting in the shade in Balad, Iraq late one afternoon and one of the guys put on a jacket because it felt chilly. It was 110 F. but the three previous weeks it had been at or over 140 F. every day and it did feel strangely cool. But that's Iraq. Some say it was the original Garden of Eden, but it is hot enough to have been the original hell. I don't think they will ever have a lot of tourist trade. I know I see no reason to ever go back.

Unreal. Is the heat different because of the dryness?

djk- I don't know how it is there, but dryness when it's over 105 or 110 stops making much of a difference

125 outside is hell
