ANST - Gulf War

[Ladyarabella]

Tarp over and under your tent.
Don't leave your tent heater on all night.
Dig a trench so water rolls around your tent and not under.
Tent walls do not stop sound........ be careful or you might get an applause
when you're done.
Remember to drink water even when it's cold.
Remember that soda's dry you out and isn't the same as water
Remember to eat something.
Thermal underwear is acceptable if seen peeking out of your garb when it's
in the teens.
Wear comfortable shoes.
Bring shower shoes.. the showers will be muddy.
The best time to shower is at night before you go to bed.
The toilets in the main shower house will back up....... get used to
portajohns.
You'll change clothes at least 3 times a day to remain comfortable.  "It'll
be from the teens to the 80's out."
IF YOU'RE GONNA FIGHT AT ALL...... GET INSPECTED THE FIRST DAY YOU'RE THERE.
The lines will be long if you don't.
Find out where to sign up for Volunteer Points.  Water bearing, Working MOC,
Field Marshaling, Potty duty, Security etc.... all count towards the
Volunteer War Point.

Does that help?
