I’ll never forget the HEATED TENTS in week 6 in BMT we were using in February. I thought being in the military was hardcore, and here I was sitting in a luxury tent. This was in the year 2000 pre-9/11, don’t know if they still have them.
They didn’t have those when I went through basic in '98, but then again we only had two days of FTX and basic was 6 weeks long total.
What they did have was arctic sleeping bags. You don’t need a heated tent with one of those things. Sleep more than 30 minutes (which was about how long they gave us that night) and you’re sweating, even in the cold.
