1 full service in the CO/XO head, 1 standup and 1 full service in the officer head, 1 full service in the goat locker, 1 standup and 3 full service in between forward and aft crews berthing, 1 full service in lower level across from 21 man berthing.
6 showers among the whole thing as well.
BUT, as someone stated, any old drain funnel will do in a pinch. ANY bubblehead who says they have not whipped it out and relieved themselves in a funnel is full of it.
Oh, and someone asked what if the cook screws up?? Well... In Lisbon, Portugal, a certain FT Toptorp and I know put 100 times too much chlorine in the potable water we received just before we left. It gave the WHOLE crew the screaming meanies if you know what I mean. It was the ONLY time I ever heard them say TAKE A HOLLYWOOD! to the whole crew. Leave it running. They had to flush both the potable water tanks. We ran the rain maker pretty much 24 hours for a few days lined up to the potable water tanks. A-gang was blowing the sans 2-3 times a watch. The whole crew did not become regular for 3 or 4 days. Offgoing watch was running from the head, releaving the on-watch so they could dash to the head, and then run back themselves. Normally, you could take care of biz and read a book or relax in the ONLY place you could truly be alone. Well, they had to put a watch in the heads (all were open to the crew except the CO/XO head which was reserved for control/upper level folks at the time) to ensure you got in, and got out... and to pass the paper when they ran out.
The FT in question was hiding pretty much the whole trip back to the states. The CO never did anything to him, he figured that it would pale compared to what the CREW was going to do to him.
