Longbow, I hated sitting in a Sheridan Tank when it was freezing outside and I was basically crouched in an icebox. That said, the sacrifice that you are making now to protect our country, and taking care of our fleet of aircraft is admirable - and more than most Americans will ever do in their lifetime.
Keep the faith, may you be safe, and take heart, the issues you are facing now will be realized as a valuable life experience down the road.
