Summer Advice

Guys in the Summer Classes - you are not superman - drink water!! I repeat, drink water - lots of it. During the heatwave of 1980 I went through Airborne School - we had a LOT of heat injuries - but the interesting part was about 50% were the instructors, trying to prove they were tougher than everybody else. Smart is better than tough, and a heat injury if severe enough can get you into a REMF job for the rest of your career.
