A/C Petition

Done here.

It was such a simple question to a very brief sentence in which any factual error could have been immediately contradicted by a person who "trained with the military" in parts south and west. So I'm either lying about black flag days, or you've never experienced one. Now your integrity is in question.

When a well fed, well hydrated, physically fit Marine is ordered to shut it down because of the inherent risk of heat related illness, the science in that decision supersedes your grammar school health lesson.

If you consider 70 percent humidity extreme and you work for UPS and need AC you should consider a desk job. Seems to be too strenuous for you. Refer to your original post.

Ups doesn't care if you died from a heat stroke never mind putting ac in the package car

Oh, I see. You're confused. Easily confused, I might add. That's a symptom of heat exhaustion. Maybe you need to drink water. LOL.

Post reply to this original post you speak of where I consider 70% humidity extreme. The only thing I've mentioned is black flag, and how the Marine Corps employs this precautionary measure to protect some of the toughest SOBs in locales you said you've had experience training.

Let's make this real simple for you and just answer this question: HAVE YOU EVER HAD A BLACK FLAG DAY DURING YOUR TIME IN THE MILITARY?

Of course. You still keep holding on to this black flag issue based off the Wet Bulb. Maybe UPS should impose this so they can get you out of the heat and humidity. Or better yet you can start working for Mary Kay or Avon and stay in your blazer with AC and I'll deliver packages to you.

You just googled black flag. You're not military, boy.

I've never been in the Marines but I think I can safely say that our job is nowhere near as strenuous as their training. I'm 45 years old and 20 lbs. overweight and can do my job just fine. I don't think I could say the same for military training. When people ask me if I wish I had A/C like my FedEx air drivers I tell them I make almost double what they make. They can keep their A/C.

PS. I thank both of the above posters and all those who have served in the military. You guys are the best this country have to offer.

 

[MassWineGuy]

Good luck on this, guys. FedEx Express vehicles have really good a.c.

I thought Black Flag was a kind of bug spray or a punk band.

 

[dumbmuthertrucker]

So much chest-thumpin' going on...
Sure hope the bruises heal soon.

The policy of shutting off the engine at every stop would have to be abandoned.

This is all I have to cool off. Im on an all residential route with no restaurants or places to cool off in the air conditioning all day. I carry four of them, I freeze them solid the night before. The trick is to only fill up about a half inch below the neck of the bottle so that the ice expansion doesn't bust the bottle. I store in an insulated lunch box and have ice all day. I will top them off with bottled water as the ice melts. I have survived thirty-one years of high humidity Southern Summers. A/C isn't going to happen.

 

[brownmonster]

A/C in summer. Heat in winter. Weak.

I crack my windows an inch or so when I park and lower them completely for the first few minutes of my drive home before closing them and turning on the AC.

I double click and hold the unlock button and my windows roll themselves down as I'm walking up. All the hot air gets out, the hot UPS guy gets in and the air is cranked up. 30 seconds later the windows are up and I'm freezing my butt off on the way home to my chilly abode.

Nice finger. I get at least one black one a year.

haha When I saw that finger, I figured there were several choice words associated with it. &+$%@ and ?@#^&*(.

 

[govols019]

Last time I smashed a finger it hurt so bad I couldn't even curse...I was just trying to stay conscious. Busted that joker open like a grape.

I will have to try the double click thing today.

I come home from work all the time with cuts and bruises on my body that I don't even remember how they happened. I crushed my little finger and "pointing finger" while building a foot bridge at a local state park. I already lost the little nail and I'm waiting for the other to fall off.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

The last one I got I believe I broke as well. I was installing a Spicer 5 speed that was in a bind when it popped free and it caught my finger tip against the frame rail. It took about 2 months to quit hurting.
