FWIW, one of the systems I maintained on the Tomcat was called the APG-71 Radar Cooling System. It had a large steel braided line that dielectric fluid flowed through which was secured with an Adel clamp. We also used them to secure wiring.

Will I have to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. 2. Do I have to swim further than I can hold my breath. 3. Will they make me sleep with 400 guys in a tin can with no way out for 6 months. 4. Do they have cable...  (I went Air Force) Lol Dave __________________

(Despite the swimming criteria... ) At the end of the day go guard and you'll go combat. They cant maintain their ops in the middle east without guardsmen. If that's your goal, ok. But one of the biggest issues is that green guardsmen just don't have the intense life events that regulars get. That translates in delay of behavior in combat, its very hard to teach the live (not life) skills once your brain is past the 17 to 24 age bracket that makes those skills automatic. If the air force is your thing, go Civil Air Patrol if your young enough. Many of the opportunities, the rank transfers to Guard or Active duty.. And you gain rank MUCH faster.
