We got our water in 8” powder casings.

If the engineers weren’t paying attention, or if they wanted to get even for some imagined/perceived insult from the grunts, the chlorine would be so strong it’d make your eyes tear up.

—”the chlorine would be so strong it’d make your eyes tear up.”

In the rainy season, the water was plentiful and OK.
In the dry season, the water was often muddy and we had occasional heat casualties.
I never dropped out but did see stars a few times.

The water at the LZ was OK but always cold in a shower.
