It gets hot/humid in the summer but nothing nearly like what I experienced while serving in the US Army. When I was stationed in the jungles of Viet Nam with 1st of 7th Cavalry from 1968 thru 1970.

For 2 years in the Mekong Delta. Now thats hot. Its an experience I will never ever forget. My body wont allow it.

Temps on most days when not in the rainy season were above 125+ degrees with humidity 100+. When it started raining it didn't stop for weeks at a time.

I now have what is commonly called jungle rot. Whenever summer comes with heat and humidity my body's hot spots, such as underarms, between toes and fingers and groin all turn red hot red and itch like hell. What sucks the most is after all these years we have no cure. The VA does **** and I have to pay for my drugs because of my annual income they have denied my application.

I enjoyed the 12 years I served but once you need them for care they forget you exist.
