You work out who gets what rack beforehand if you have to get picky. For the most part, unless you get a real retentive rackmate, you just grab the empty one.

3) Of the 2 rackpans, One guy each gets 2/3 of a pan and the 3rd guy gets the remain 1/3 of each rack for his stuff. In case you are wondering, it is not a lot fo space. About the equivelant of 1 medium sized dresser drawer and you have to make sure that nothing breakable is in it.

4) Called "hot racking" becuase when you get off watch, you can climb into a pre-warmed bed.

And there you go.
Hm... that doesn't really sound that bad. Since a person on shift isn't using there rack its a waist not to put it to use... as long as the person in the rack before you doesn't smell like crap
