APFT, Thunderstorms and Mars
Yesterday was an interesting day. I took (and passed), the Army Physical Fitness Test, which is a regular physical fitness test required by the Army. We normally take it a couple of times a year, though in the combat zone you really only have to take it once. So, that's out of the way.
We also had thunderstorms last night. It sounded wonderful. The weather during the day had been quite nice... around 90 degrees, but cloudy, so it is comparable to more like 80 at home. Then around 1930 (7:30pm) it started to rain a little. Within an hour, it was down pouring, with thunder and lightning. We live in metal trailers, so the beating of the rain on the roof was soothing.
Now, this morning, as I woke up, the air has a reddish tint to it. I don't know if it's dust, but it almost looks a little like the pictures you see of Mars.
