South Korea topped them all. We had to learn to adapt and survive outdoors using just the equipment we had at hand and nature to build temporary shelters, but we also had to keep on the move either on the offensive or to keep from presenting a stationary target to the enemy. ~

. . . all (I) keep hearing for (my) entire life is how BEAUTIFUL hot and sunny weather is? And how dreary, ugly and gloomy "MY" beautiful weather is?Ever since a very young boy, I have always preferred many beautifully gray various-shaped clouds in the sky, or very overcast with no visible blue sky, and cool temperatures. Constantly I've noticed - - from all people and all weather forecasters -- that I am simply wrong in what I find beautiful.
Now, everyone get out there and enjoy the beautiful sunny and 80-degrees weather this weekend. less
