Monsoon Season/Does this make sense?



November through March sees almost all the annual rainfall here. When we arrived in early September, we went 2 weeks without a cloud in the sky. Since late November, we have received 4 downpours and one day of snow. We have had thunderstorms the last two days. One picture shows some late day rainfall to the west.

The Army issued 3 sets of rain gear. So, as I put on the Gore-tex one today, I wondered why rain gear is issued in desert camouflage. Gotta love the military.

Also, why do they issue extreme cold weather gear in woodland pattern when all the leaves are non-green? Shouldn't it be orange, red, yellow and brown?

Won't be the military if it didn't follow the time honored practices, like running to a new location to stand in line. Never figured that one out.
