or "I Can Transform Ya"

Good morning from Paktika,

I'm in need of guidance/feedback/diagnosis from any of my health-minded, nutrition-eductated superfriends. Yesterday, on our way back from a impromptu rifle range, I was riding back in the cargo area of the vehicle, with 3/4 full gear (notably vest and helmet) and quickly slipped into a feeling of weakness, dizziness, and nausea. It felt like a combination of veritgo, nerves, and motion sickness. My intial thought was a blood sugar drop? Maybe? It was about 1300, and I hadn't really consumed anything except water and coffe since 0730.  I can usually deal well with being hungry or working through a meal, if the mission dictates, but this took me down. Once we parked back in our area, and offloaded, I chugged a bottle of water, pounded a little Halloween snack size Peanut M&M's (I know, I thought I was going to drop, plus the amount of candy within our office area is FOOLISH. Our Oregon counterparts are sugar-FIENDS, it's everywhere...and amazing supportive misguided 'Mericans keep sending it) and then went right to lunch chow. Maybe my body is rejecting my 20 day old Manchild Movember stache (everyone else here is. Weaksauce)? The drastic elevation change (two 3,000 foot jumps over 2.5 months)? Crap food sticks in my system less? Hmmm. The last confusing piece is that it's only happened twice, to that degree, and I've been here over two weeks.  My schedule is pretty solid, I eat the same thing for breakfast almost everyday, and I try to hit lunch within the same 30 minute window. 

I'm all in for feedback, and suggested adjustments to prevent further issues.

Manana (thank you),

The K
