I guess dropping the driver escape hatch & cutting a hole in the driver seat would work. That’s for M48’s & M60’s, don’t know about Abrams.

Went to the Armor School with Israeli veterans of the ‘73 war. In the Sinai they were buttoned up in their vehicles for days on end and personal hygiene nearly ceased.

Females in combat MOSs is totally messed up and it will not end well.

There is no bottom hatch on the Abrams series tank. Any “liquids” end up in the hull. There is a pressure system to clear the bilges out through a side vent. Cleaning the turret and hull floors are hard work...
