[QUOTE="Hawgman, post: 2079048, member: 7676"] When I was in is where I really noticed it was during the more realistic exercise scenarios. The ones where you wore full chem ensembles with mask off and on at times for hours. All in the heat, sun and humidity. Wearing all that crap in the heat while responding to excercise conditions begins to wear on you. Then you have to hump gear, set up equipment, palletize and de-palitize gear and yes carry and drag casualties. It was the rare, rare woman that could keep up and match the men effort for effort/task for task. Wasn't unusual to let them sit it out. Everybody just pretended it wasn't happening. If you did say something the nearest superior would give you that look like they were about to send you to Social Actions. Unfortunately, on the battle field people get shot, blown up and die. And others along with them. [/QUOTE]
