0430 and the alarm goes off.  Its still dark outside and the air conditioner is working overtime to keep our boxcar at a balmy 85 degrees.  I get up in the dark and start to get dressed.  My uniform is only 7 days old so I can make it a few more days before putting on a new one.  I grab my rifle and head out the door.  A hot blast of wind strikes me in the face, but the sun isn’t up yet so its still bearable outside.
