Something foreign to you...
Dear Bro,
I have to prepare you for my next topic because based on your current situation and location it is probably something that is a distant memory and will require much reflect from on your part to conceptually understand the phenomena I am about to discuss.
In most parts of the world, there is an event related to the hydrologic cycle that allows life forms other than camel spiders and scorpions to metabolize by assisting in growth of agrarian food stock. This event occurs due to the evaporation of moisture from the Earth's oceans to create a thing called clouds, something you might see in the sky above you and wonder what the exact purpose they serve beyond the occasional relief from the 100 degree Fahrenheit (38 Celsius) generated by the solar mass directly overhead.
Now, I will give a second to reconcile yourself with the fact that those white things that once in a while appear over your head actually continue water....
Here is the hard part to fathom, in other parts of the world, other than where you currently reside, these clouds, which eventually becomes overloaded with water vapor, form droplets of water in the air. Eventually, if the droplets keep growing, they will reach a mass where they can't stay floating in the cloud because they are too heavy - and will start to fall. Some may get caught in upward blowing winds and get blown back into the clouds for a while, but once they are heavy enough to overcome the force of the wind, they will fall to earth. This little known occurrence is referred to as rain!
Between you and me, there has been a lot of this "rain" falling here in the last 12 hours. Enough in fact to completely soak everything that is not sheltered from it. The closest comparison I can think of is: you know after the sun has been up for several hours and all of your clothing is sweat soaked and sticking to your body? It's kind of like that.....
Now, I would be careful in discussing this with your fellow soldiers, as you need them to be your friend and watch your back, not thing you are some kind of "crackpot".
So we will just keep this between ourselves, shall we?
Yours in disbelief,
Rich
