i spent the first part of this week in what the AF calls a Phase II exercise...we are deployed to a bare bones base under the worst conditions in the middle of an all out war. it's the worst of all things and always leads to alot of confusion--since you can't blow things up or kill people there are alot of simulations that always tend to get fouled up.
in any case, i spent alot of time in a rubber gas mask, sweating profusely, hiding under a desk every couple of hours. it's a very claustrophobic and tiring thing to do, especially when my main job is to type on a non-user friendly "portable" computer system. two layers of gloves do not improve your typing at 3 in the morning, but i've become pretty proficient at typing using the end of a pencil.
funny thing is, just one year ago i was on the AF inspection team going base to base grading poor sweating saps in rubber gloves and claustrophobic masks. how's that for karma?
