When you arrive in Punta Arenas, Chile, one of our port agent (AGUNSA) representatives meets you. The agent provides you with a handout that indicates your scheduled ECW issue time. You then report to Warehouse 1 at the scheduled time in order to try on all of your gear and exchange for the appropriate sizes. The USAP does not supply water bottles or sunglasses. NOTE: All gear is standard issue unless otherwise noted. See Gear Descriptions and Photos. |

During the ship's transit back to Punta Arenas, the Marine Project Coordinator (MPC) posts an ECW return signup sheet. Once the ship arrives in port, report to Warehouse 2 at your scheduled time and turn in your gear. |
