I remember being in school for a final exercise, and the company commander passed word not wear rain gear or ponchos because he thought they were too noisy and "not tactical".

Temperature dropped from mid 50's to upper 30's in the space of a couple hours, with rain and win. That night, out of a company with 221 student Lieutenants, 26 were evacuated with hypothermia.

Utter dumbass.

I bet the company commander went on to be promoted.

He was promoted quickly, I presume. One of the joint chiefs by now!
