Question about hydration and minimum weight standards
Looking for info on how to help keep someone hydrated. My son called a couple days ago. He's currently deployed in the sandbox and is having problems staying hydrated. He's down to less than 130 pounds (and at 6'1", he looks like a walking skeleton). They're living on a nonstandard diet schedule with MREs. The medics use him for starting IV's because they're constantly pumping fluids into him.
I'm concerned that if he keeps loosing weight, he's going to fall out the bottom of the height/weight standard.
Any suggestions are appreciated...

God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind.
Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you.
It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.
