tcelano - Thank you for your service, I turned down the opportunity you took advantage of in 1980, even with a sizable signing bonus offered, I just couldn't take staying underwater for 3 to 6 months at a time in a steel tube, I know it would not have been too bad for an officer but still. My hat is off to you and to all those willing and able to protect us fat lazy slobs on land from the evils in the world. It takes a VERY special individual to accept this kind of risk for so little reward and even less recognition.
As I would expect, your analysis above, nail meet hammer.
Thanks. Yes, that program tests you, your patience and nerves in every way imaginable. I made one 6-month deployment, with about 160 of 182 days actually submerged. Max 55 days without uncorking the hatch. But, you do get the privilege of operating some of the coolest stuff tax dollars can buy.

They do make crossovers with a bypass so you can run a thermostat. That's what I have on my boat and it works great.
Hmmmm. That's what I was going to run until I did a search.
