Army Uniform

Yoni, my cousin in the IDF, let me put on his uniform, backpack (with 8 clips and extra weighted stuff, and m16) on and let me tell you it is hot! Even though I was inside with air conditioning I was burning up.  I can't even imagine having to wear that outside in the Israel heat.  
He told me that during his training he had to wear all of that, plus the gas mask, and run ~ 3 miles and then have to shoot at a target.  If you missed the shot, you had to run it all over again.  He said everyone had to do it at least 3 times because when you got to the target they were so exhausted it was impossible to aim.
