Wasn't complaining at all. I enjoy the "oven type" heat actually. It doesn't bother my joints as much as the humidity did back east. It also easier to breathe without the dampness. I take sun over gray and humid any day.
It's also pretty easy to escape here if you desire--there isn't anywhere without a/c that I frequent.
Hottest I've ever been in is El Centro, California during my Navy days.
We did a 2 week detachment there to do a bunch of Air to Ground and CAS work with the Marines. Walked out to the jet and literally couldn't touch it without wearing gloves. Fired up the radio and ATIS was reporting 116 degrees. We were carrying 4 x 1,000lb bombs and we used a lot of runway to get airborne....

It gets hot AND humid in El Centro (well, more humid than here in Phoenix). No wonder you used up a lot of runway!
At least Jacobs and company have a new excuse for the perpetually slushy ice at the Gahden
As hot as it was in El Centro that day, Roosevelt Roads (Puerto Rico) in August was 100x worse. High 90s with humidity in the high 90s as well. You could literally cut the air with a knife and could not get dry. Officer berthing was a cinderblock motel type structure with a small window mounted AC unit that was from around 1970. On the interior, the cinderblock was painted and you could literally see the walls sweat and water run down them. I didn't complain though, because the enlisted berthing was even worse. That place was such a shit-hole.
Our last detachment there was when I finally came to the decision to move on to civilian life....

NOAA/ Maine global temperature data goes back to 1979, but researchers say these temperature readings are comparable with data that goes back much further. They are confident this is the highest global temperature since instrumental measurements began around the 1850s.

"You GOTTA come see it though" (he's like at least my call worth it)

I did a split deployment between Roosey and Rodman AFB in Panama. For my money, Panama was worse, though my memory is faded after 25 years. I do remember doing a pre-deployment trip there, and someone left the door on the plane open, and it was FILLED with mosquitoes by morning.
You must be talking about the BOQ up on the hill. We at least had an extra room assigned, which we turned into a bar (similar to the Brass Nut if you've ever made it to Keflavik). But the rooms kinda sucked, ya.
I still can’t believe how bad the garden ice is having seen it first hand when I met @Ladyfan and her sisAt least Jacobs and company have a new excuse for the perpetually slushy ice at the Gahden

I'm going to Puerto Rico the first weekend of August for a long weekend with my college friends to celebrate turning 40.
I'm already dreading the heat, but I guess I'll be in a pool or the ocean the whole time.

I went for my first post-op visit with my surgeon today.
They took x-rays and checked the incision. So far so good. I was able to ditch the "teds" (tight thigh length stockings to prevent blood clots) and they took the bandage off.
progress....
