I remember that year! I was in Missouri at Ft. Lenordwood take AIT for a heavy equipment operator. Guys were dying on the base from the cold and we had to stay inside or travel in pairs any where we went. I still pulled guard duty outside all night and ended up in the hospital for what they thought was spinal meningitis which also was killing guys. I did not die in time so I was moved to a different ward?? They called my Mother and told her I was probley going to die. This is now part of my service connected disability for messed up lungs. Right after AIT I got sent to Vietnam right into the middle of there hottest time of the year. So in less than 24 hours I did a change in weather from 50 below zero to 110 above. That is a 160 deg change my body went thru! What a rush when I got off the jet and stepped into that high humidity heat! Took a couple weeks to get used to it.
