One of the worst days for heat, I emptied the 100 oz. Camelbak twice, drank a two liter soda, and several bottles of Gatorade. I was drinking hard every time we paused, and closely monitoring my urination. I was probably mildly dehydrated at times when we went long between breaks, but I was working on it every time we stopped.
For reasons that I think are pretty obvious, I do not drink alcohol or take heavy meds when I am in a shooting school.

You must have had a really good Medic when you were a TL to be so well trained.
I am wearing the DBT FAC with L4 plates and the L3 soft in the cumberbund. When I carry it, it's heavy as hell, but you don't notice it when you put it on. I have the 100oz bladder on the back, 2XFBs, 4X mags, 6X 12Ga Master Keys and the 6o4 with 3 mags and my PS Leatherman, a strong FAK, radio and GP pouch for the comms set, glove, etc. It's a load, but like I said, it doesn't feel heavy in wear.
Sounds like you had some good training there.
