I agree, the entire summer of the 1980 heatwave at Ft Benning and Ft Riley, Jump School at 112 degrees or being in an M113 APC in that kind of heat truly sucked.

Although being snowed on while in a recon position and not being able to move for 6 hours without compromising the position is right up there.

As has been said, each environment has its own challenges.
