How does military pilots "go to toilet" on long missions, on planes without toilets installed? Diapers? Serious question.

Not a mil plane but I was on a long x-country in a DA20, needed to take a leak as you inevitably do as soon as you take off. I was at least an hour away from my destination aerodrome so I opted to use my trusty powerade bottle. DA20's have a cramped little cockpit and non adjustable bucket seats so I had to kind of bend it in which was easier said than done. Spills were had. But I got it in and I was away, no worries, or so I thought. I filled the fucker up, suddenly piss was everywhere. So I cut it off midstream, flying with my knees, open the little storm windows and pour the bottle out all over the fuselage. Almost fill it up again and end up ditching it over a mountain range in disgust. One miserable hour later and an extremely self conscious shuffle through the training centre and the ordeal was finally over. I now make it a policy to go nil by mouth at least 2 hours before long flights.

Next time get one of those bendy bottles also two l liter bottle lol but that's funny, my friend is a long haul trucker and he pretty much has to do the same with a bottle sometimes but he has a wide mouth bottle and he uses like a big glup or something , I think he said he had a custom-made container made for him that truckers use,

Fighter types have catheters inserted for urination. If you have to take a dump, you just have to hold it.
