Training in the heat works, if you are careful!

I am putting the survival medicine training into practice as I type from Haiti. Sorry, no photos, but will say that, despite 95 degree HUMID heat, the training previously described has worked. I got to train with the 82nd Airborne last night, doing a nice, hot workout. Thirty minutes was good, and I made sure I took in plenty of water and lytes. There have been some previous workers who got heat illnesses-we found that many of these individuals had increased body mass indices. So, the key is to take it slowly, and monitor yourself and your water. Signing off now-orevwa!
