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.

Hmmmm. That's what I was going to run until I did a search.
