Anyhow, we had an extra one on, and it was stowed
very neatly under a great deal of trash on the:
right-hand outside stowage box; and I felt that
we could more readily use the time of switching
back and forth.
So we switched the aeromedical
adapter back and forth, and with the microdot con­
nector it was a pretty easy operational procedure.
I don't think we missed any radio calls, and I
think we got probably more blood pressures there
than one every 15 minutes.
Yes, we would probably get one every 5
or 6
minutes.
We were back on the carrier in 45 minutes, and I'm
sure we had two or three blood pressures there on
the water.
You even got the lightweight head-set on.
That 's right.
I very dutifully put the lightweight
headset on with my helmet off.
I felt better with
my helmet off, and I think you felt better with
your helmet off.
I felt a lot better with my helmet on and my visor
closed, because I didn't like the smell of that
stench there.
I was so hot over there.
I felt better with it off.
