Should have stayed at home
 

The army national guard recently left North Dakota (-15°F) for Alaska (+32°F) for cold weather training.

I'd opt for 32 vs. - 15 if I was in charge also

it's training

Should have come to Florida, then

Train to simulate conditions as much as possible. Foolish.

Agree, most think central Florida cold. Get down to 50 and see all the parka’s and gloves.

Try and train at -15f. It’s an all VOLUNTEER MILITARY.

Either case, your tax $$$ at work

You should thank the armed forces and not complained so much about tax dollars at work

Thank you Army National Guard for your service...

Warmer in Alaska?
 

I love this. Military Intelligence!

Fifty years ago I was transferred from Duluth, MN to King Salmon, AK. I was the only GI in Alaska to go there for warmer weather.

"Come on team, we have a domestic emergency in Bismark that needs our expertise."

"Ooh, that's a bit chilly for us, but we'd be happy to help out somewhere warmer."

Stu has it right - you need to train for the conditions in which you could be operating.

It's more about the facility than the temperature.

Fargo was -30 yesterday!

Our National Guard should be used to protect our own country, like the southern border.

Windchill or actual temperature???
