Hi Family!!
How did I spend my Mother's Day? Well today, we worked on setting up the water supply for the hospital. The first part of the day was spent inventorying the parts and then we started laying out the cables. I have never done this before so it is quite interesting. I will keep you posted on what we do as we continue to set it up over the next 2 days.
I did get a close look at how the water supply gets connected from the main bladder when I went to take a shower tonight. (Yes, they have showers....real ones...with water!!). The bladder is a large bag that gets filled water. Main hoses are run from the bladder to...well in the case of the showers...a large generator powered heater. The generator pumps and pressurizes the water and then makes it available to the shower heads. The shower was warm and powerful enough to give a nice back massage:)
There is a specific shower schedule for males and females which is why I posted the pic. The only objection I have to schedule is the time allotted to females (about an hour less) and the sequence. I would think females should go last since we tend to take longer showers but what do I know. The word on the street is that the males have more time and go last because there are more of them here. This could be true. Our commander told us at formation yesterday that there were 7000 soldiers participating in this ECT exercise. Our hospital command accounts for about 300 of those soldiers! While the medical corp may be mostly female....the rest of the Army is dominantly male.
Well, that is all for now. I love and miss you all.
