Why can’t there be a Black Flag Rule like Parris Island has?

I nearly had a stroke when I went to my son-in-law’s graduation from PI in 1999. The barracks we used in 1961 are now air-conditioned!

Interesting, the rule says no non-essential strenuous physical activity above 90 F. That would be just about every day from June to mid-September around here. Guess we could train at night. Add to that dew points of 70 F or more and it is a killer. I don’t recall the dew points so high when I was a kid but I sure do remember the hot. I recall 113 F and no breeze. The world around us was just about dead except for the cicadas.
