consider using that gun again is to read down a daily
counter number, and let the people use that as a--we
ra.n into a regular nightmare. Recording drinks used and
drinks.•••
It was too much.
I think our water intake was adequate.
And again I do
not think this is something we need to be hounded
about from the ground.
A person seems to have enough
problems without being reminded that he is drinking enough
water; I do not see any reason at all to have this com~
plica.ted bookeeping system. The food intake was not
a problem.
We recorded the food.
One thing we might
note, the food was pa.eked out of sequence.
So when we
got it out, we did not end up eating Day 1, meal A, B,
C, Meal 2, A, B, C, but we did always eat Meal A first,
Meal B the second meal of the de.y, and Meal C, the third
meal of the day. Although, it might be day 1, meal A,
day 13, meal E, and day 6, meal C.
Also, while we are talki.ng about food, we better talk
about the stowage of the food. It was right up to the
maximum.
That is right.
And in fact it was a little bit overboard for 14 days.
