Spiritual Minded Military Indiana Army National Guard: Why Humidity Feels Like an Ambush — The Dry Uniform Directive
YOU ARE NOT IN COMBAT. YOUR SHIRT DOES NOT KNOW THAT.
The air is thick. Your skin is wet. Your back is oozing through your shirt. You are on your personal driveway. You are not fired. You are not on patrol. There is no danger to you.
Your body is not believing you.
Your lips are set. Your shoulders are tight. Your eyes are sweeping along the tree line. The fence of your neighbor is the tree line. There is no threat. The reaction continues to occur.
This is not being weak. It is not a disorder. This is a body that had been taught a lesson and had never been sent the memo that the lesson was over.
The cover of the enemy was humidity. Humidity meant sweat. Sweat meant dehydration. Dehydration equated to retarded reactions. Delayed response implied a person did not go back home.
Your body helped you not to die. Your body is yet to give up.
"Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." — 1 Peter 5:8
THE FIRST SIGN THAT SOMETHING IS OFF
You notice it before the humidity even registers in your brain. Your hands curl slightly. Your fingers spread. The same grip you used on your weapon. The same hand position you held for hours on patrol.
You are holding an invisible rifle. Your weapon is in the safe. Your hands do not care. The body does not forget. The body does not reason. The body does not check the calendar.
Camp Atterbury trained your body. Deployment trained your body. Years of service trained your body to read the environment for threats. Humidity was a threat. Humidity meant the enemy could hide. Humidity meant the enemy could move without sound. Humidity meant you had to work harder to stay alive.
You are not at Camp Atterbury. You are in Indianapolis. You are in Fort Wayne. You are in Evansville. The only enemy is the weather report.
Your body does not know the difference.

THE CLOTHING THAT KEEPS YOU STUCK
A t-shirt made out of cotton is worn on a wet day. The cotton soaks. The cotton clings. The cotton is wet on your skin.
The wet material is interpreted by your body as sweat. Sweat is perceived as work by your body. Your body interprets exertion as danger. Threat is read by your body as a driver to remain on alert.
Your shirt is not neutral. Your shirt is either assisting you to stand down or holding you in place.
The incorrect cloth makes the damp stay on your skin. The damp keeps your body in survival mode. The survival mode will not allow you to rest. The insufficiency of rest denies you the opportunity to get home.
The Spiritual Minded Military shirt is not about looking good. The Spiritual Minded Military shirt is about sending the right signal. The fabric wicks. The fabric breathes. The fabric tells your body, "The wetness is gone. The threat is gone. You can stand down."

WHAT YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM NEEDS
There are two settings of your nervous system. Fight or flight. Rest and digest.
Humidity places you in either fight or flight. Your nervous system does not know the difference between a jungle patrol and a hot day in Indiana. The input is the same. The answer is equally so.
A signal is required by your nervous system. The message is not a word. The signal is not logic. The message is not a pep talk.
The sign is a shirt. Just like your OCPs informed your body that it was time to fight, your Spiritual Minded Military shirt is telling your body that it is time to rest.
The signal repeats itself. The first time you wear it, your body will not believe you. It is the tenth time that the body will begin to relax. The centennial occurrence, your body will recognize the shirt as home.

THREE MOVES. EVERY MORNING.
You need not have a protocol. Three moves are required.
The Shirt
Your Spiritual Minded Military shirt is on before you go out the door. Not when you are already sweating. It is too late when your body has already set. Before.
The Breath
Stop when the humidity reaches it. One deep breath. Hold it. Let it out slow. Oxygen is required by your body to change settings. You have been holding your breath for years without realizing it.
The Declaration
Say it out loud. I am home. this is no ambush. this is weather. They will not believe you at first in your body. Say it anyway. Repetition is how the body learns.

THE THING ABOUT INDIANA
Indiana is no jungle. Indiana is not a combat zone. Indiana is cornfields and soybean fields and humidity that is always pressing down on your chest like a weight.
The water content in this place is varied. It does not break. It does not lift. It stays. Day after day. Week after week.
Your body is made to go on missions that are short. Your body was not made to take July in Indiana. The air never dries, and your body is not aware of how to rest.
It is not that you are failing. What you trained your body to do is what it is doing. You forgot to train it to stop. The Dry Uniform Directive is that training. Not a lecture. Not a theory. A shirt.

WHAT YOUR FAMILY SEES
The humidity response is not known by your family. They are not aware of why you are stressed. They are ignorant of why you are irritable. They simply have heard that you are difficult to be around in July.
They believe that it is them. They believe that they have done something bad. They believe that you do not wish to stay at home. The enemy is not your family. The mission is your family.
It is not the Dry Uniform Directive that is only about you. The Dry Uniform Directive is to the folk who must co-exist with you.
They are not as scared when you are not as tense. When you are not so peeved, they are not so hurt. At home, when you are away, they can have a chance to rest.

THE NEW MEMORY
The old memory cannot be erased. The humidity will never cease to be linked with the ambush. The association cannot be forgotten. It is possible to superimpose a new memory.
Whenever you put on your Spiritual Minded Military shirt and face the humidity, you are creating a new file. Humidity → shirt → breath → peace.
There remains the old file. The new file will become more powerful in the end. Not that you forgot. Because you practiced.
"I am doing a new thing. Do you not perceive it?" — Isaiah 43:19
Conclusion
The humidity is no enemy of the Indiana Army National Guard. Your trigger is the humidity. Your body was taught a reaction that enabled you to survive. The war is not over with your body.
You have to teach your body. The schoolroom is your front yard. The textbook is your shirt. Wear your Spiritual Minded Military shirt every day in the morning. Breathe when the humidity rises. Read the statement aloud.
You are not broken. You are not crazy. You are a soldier, with your flesh on guard. The watch is over. The war is over. You are home.

This is the Spiritual Minded Military Dry Uniform Directive for the Indiana Army National Guard. The humidity is not an ambush. The humidity is your classroom. Put on the shirt. Breathe. Learn. Fall in.
The Remnant does not transition. The Remnant re-enlists.
