It's hot! Real hot! Africa hot!
That's what my TI would bark at us when I was a young airman in basic training. It was Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas in May and June of 1994.
The Texas heat and the stress of basic would make young airmen act real dumb. The TI's knew this and would play on it.

The U.N. Security Council passed a weakened resolution Monday giving Iran until Aug. 31 to suspend uranium enrichment or face the threat of economic and diplomatic sanctions. Iran immediately rejected the council action, saying it would only make negotiations more difficult concerning a package of incentives offered in June for it to suspend enrichment.
