we did every morning.
The vision test and the other one.

The M-9 vision test also caused no problem.
As a matter
of fact we did a little interesting experiment of our own.
We used the brace, the head brace and the bite board
everytime but once, and then we co.m.pared the results,
with and without using the head brace or bite boards, the
last day.
We noted this in the log book.
There was no
difference in the outco.m.e, so I have begun to wonder if it
is necesary.
One of the great points o:f interest, was trying
to observe this ground observation at Laredo a.nd we picked it
up 3 times, I believe. Acquisition is very difficult, be­
cause of the poor terrain features. I never did really
see the smoke pots, but we did see the dashes that they had
in the block.
We had a real good pass at it a.nd we had
it acquired excellently and I called off 3 numbers and they
are listed in the l og book, I think there was a 3-1-3 or a
1-3-1.

I would be interested to know if I was right on a:ny of
these because you could see the:m.
I should have been able
to see the.m. on that one. 1-3-3, I gu.ese it was we called
off. No, 3-1-3 ground observation.

I had one pass where I saw it and by the time I got to
see the squares or the rectangles we were already by it
