I spent countless nights freezing or sweating in a tent because of our Mountain designation. Where do Mountain units train at for cold? Vermont. Summer? Fort Polk, LA .

You'll be in a shelter with AC (Came to find out it was the winter air), monitoring Radio comms and setting up antennas (15-30 meter masts that suck big time).
