This is fantastic. I've just started skimming through these. As an orbit determination person, this one hits home (page 207). Thou shalt not do anything that is a maneuver without coordinating/informing the OD team.

"SUBJECT: Let 's have no unscheduled water dumps on the F ''mission

During a recerit Data Selection Mission Techniques meeting we were informed that the CSM bas some sort of automatic water dump system. It was even rumored that it might be enabled on the F mission while the crew is sleeping during cis-lunar flight. This memo is to inform everyone that an unscheduled water dump can really screw up M3FN orbit determination. Accordingly, if we have a vote, this automatic capability, if it exits, should be inhibited and water dumps should only be performe! as scheduled by MCC-H."
