It's not that...
It's just that crappy weather seems to follow me. When I was being mobilized for deployment in Killeen TX, there was a whole slew of thunderstorms that lasted for about 45 days; pretty much the whole time my unit was there. We had flash flood warnings daily and our barracks nearly got wiped out. The weather cleared once we left... When we touched down in Kuwait, half of my platoon nearly went to the hospital for dehydration. A couple people had to be sent back to the states because of heat stroke. When we got to Balad, the average temperature was 145 degrees. During winter, It snowed for the first time in Balad in 86 years. I got very sick and almost died over there. Most of the symptoms pointed to meningitis however when they drew a blood sample, my blood clotted within 15 seconds. A spinal tap determined I didn't have meningitis but they didn't know what was wrong with me. Ever since that, I have been very wary of unusually weird weather. Bad shit seems to happen when the weather gets funky.
