honestly !mow what you are goi ng to do better because
of the ejection situation, but they are in the way.
They are in the way of everything you do, and they are
real little bearcats to get on and off---these little
lifevests.
We didn't have a place to stow them.
Yes, we left them on the whole darn time just because
we didn I t have anywhere to stow them.
llut they are
really in the way.
They are a real pail'.. in the rear.
Yes, it' s all part of the suit combinatjon.
Well, that's right.
If you didn' t have the suit, they wouldn.1t be so bad.
Waste disposal- pack harder.
Yes.
Pack tighter.
That's a very grave problem, in the
f act that as you start getting defecaticn wastes of this
type you want an area where you are not going to mix­
ing that with other items too much, and you want an
area that you start packing right the first time so
you don' t have to keep dragging it all out and repacking.
I don't !mow how you are going to do it any differently
than we did~in keeping one area completely open for
it, and just working and using that for your disposal
