I was issued a standard oxygen mask. Am I correct in reading posts I should have a different type, a non-rebreather? can someone explain? will it make a difference? does it help work faster? THanks

I would say to keep it clean. In such an oxygen rich enviroment germs, mold, fungus snot, etc could grow to unbelievable size.
And cut the elastic band off the mask. That's in case you fall asleep while wearing it it will fall away from your face.
