    Keeping cool while working out, Cpl. Timothy S. Trottier, a radar technician with Marine Air Control Squadron Two, incorporates a performance sportswear T-shirt into his physical training uniform while lifting weights. Currently, wearing polyester materials, which includes some types of Marine Corps issued clothing and undershirts, off forward operating bases in Iraq is prohibited because of the burn hazard. Commanders are concerned because these types of fabrics will melt to the skin of servicemembers when exposed to extreme heat or flames, commonly encountered during roadside bomb attacks.
