Buttercup training is a BLAST! Loved it!When I was assigned to my carrier in Norfolk, we all had firefighting training. This included going into a blazing building, wearing and carrying heavy equipment. My luck, it was during one of the hottest summers in Norfolk history. The following week, they suspended the training because it was too dangerous.
Buttercup training during that time was delightful, however!
Out on the road today I saw a black flag sticker on a Cadillac //
Little voice inside my head said “don’t look back, you can never look back” //
I thought I knew what love was, what did I know? //
Those days are gone forever, I should just let em go but...
WGBT of 90 (Naval threshold for a black flag) is somewhere in the area of 110 heat index. Not the same, but a way of factoring in humidity. 95 in the desert would mean a pretty low heat index. As I type this, Las Vegas is 109 with a HI of 99. The Vegas dew point is 27, so at 95 the heat index is 89...about 20 degrees less than at the Naval Air Station Tuesday. No need for all the macho posturing.
It’s a Dead head sticker.
The Ataris did a cover of the song and used “black flag” so we’re both right
2600 times faster.I vaguely recall that cover now that you mention it. Slightly faster.
2600 times faster.
Good question.iswydt. still not sure of why, though.
Short answer: Yes.
Longer answer: Wet bulb globe temperature readings determine a heat category and work/rest cycles.
The WBGT is often confused with the heat index, which is a measurement of ambient temperature, including the effect of relative humidity. WBGT requires special monitoring equipment for humidity, ambient temperature ....

Also, I doubt anyone would question el huevos on the PJs, FACs, Medi Vac Helos and know plenty of guys in the dirt who have bought a drink or two for guys providing air cover...
