  You've got a fast-attack sub?

        too dry. there is a chilled water circuit that runs through to various 
        spot coolers throughout the sub. each one ends up stripping moisture from 
        the air. moisture content is near 0%. you'd be surprised the effect that has 
        on people. simple cuts and nicks that usually only last a few days will end 
        up remaining for months on end, not healing until we return to port.
        the little bit of moisture we did have was the particulate from the guys 
        sneezes, which then carried throughout the rest of the whole crew. i've 
        still got remnants of the last ripple - i finally got enough rest to start 
        shaking it last night (midnight to 7 pm in bed, WOOT). luckily this one is 
        not as bad as the first one - when we first went underway someone brought a 
        nasty 24 hour stomach virus with them. it made it through nearly the entire 
        crew over the course of a week. a few times there we nearly didnt have 
        enough well people to man all of the watches.

        well, it _would_ help with the moisture issue, a bit too much though :)

        > - Do you guys still use raisins in your Grog?

        nope, and if only we had some grog, or at least something with anything 
        close to the alcohol content of it. freggin ausies get to drink underway, 
        why cant we?!?!!?

        > But really though, Thank you for your service.

        you're quite welcome.
