Kuwait in the summer

“I leave for Kuwait in less then a week. I was wondering if anyone knows of some really good sun block. I'm going to be there for a while so I will need a lot of it. I will try to get some pics to post on TT when I get back for all of you TTers.”

“Stay safe dude. There have been reports in the past which pretty much show sunblock is sunblock, so get the generic stuff and save some dough. Get waterproof though, even if you don't plan on getting wet (seeing as you'll be in the desert, I can only imagine that'll be the case). Waterproof sticks longer if you're sweating.

Best of luck.”

“There was something on Discovery Channel just the other day about how traditional Bedouin clothing creates a micro-climate by insulating against the heat.

You'd have to be Seriously out of uniform to take advantage of that, though... <G>

I'm always interested in how native populations adapt to their environments, ever since I first read about Amundsen and Scott and the race for the South Pole. Amundsen emulated the Eskimos of Greenland and Canada, reached the Pole first and survived. Scott went with standard British Navy methods of the day... and you know what happened.”

“hmmm... Interesting Photo, There

LOLOL”

“LMAO at the photo!”

“didn't know if kodiakman is military or not, but thought it was apropriate anyway. :-)”

“Reservists should not be fighting wars.”

“i like that new kind that's bug repellant/sunscreen mixed....”

“I know a guy who worked there.He said if u drive a motorcycle they dont even care if u pay when u fill up cuz gas is so cheap.They also dont care about you paying the change on gas if u drive a car!!!”

“Geez Kodiak. Alaska to Kuwait via North Dakota?

My favorite is Coppertone Sport, spf 48 or so. Rub proof, sweat proof and keeps out of the eyes pretty good. I use it for biking, skiing and hiking.”

“also, check out this site. You and the others on Active Duty should register. Everybody else can send something to those who are registered. ;D

Treats for Troops”

“Lance Corporal Knobblet is a Marine Corps reservist. He is one of the greenist 20 year olds I have ever met. We are both wage slaves at the same company. Lance Corporal Knobblet is currently guarding an airfield in Kuwait.

He says it is hot.”
