It's not only the Army that can't seem to get it right....

The Marine Corps sent us to the Mountain/Winter training center -- MCMWTC, at Pickle Meadow in the Sierra Mountians, just NW of Sonora --- in NOVEMBER.

I believe altitudes ranges from 6,000 to 10,000 feet - and temperatures down to -12F or so.....

Now, then. This was to prepare us for low land jungle, flat rice paddies and chopper rides through the mountains, with temperatures of 90+F with 90% RH in Vietnam..

Go figure..

"...MCMWTC..." - river rat

Reminds me of a story told by an instructor I had once... He was ordered to Alaska (can't remember the location - too long ago) for training, just before just before he deployed to I Corp, RVN.

Stay armed,

Probably because you are going to Okie and your mission there is Korea. I trust you have heard of Chosin.
