Tom: the breakdown was previously answered

JM: What do you remember being the nicest and worst parts about the different blocks?
Tom: they were identical as far as number of bunks in each tent the worst was no cooling in 120degree heat or heating in freezing weather and in the rain all the tents leaked and guards would not let you relocate bunk out of water
