Thanks for the tips and links! I'll give these a look this weekend.

Yikes. I wound up with asthma from them, but I also have a host of other issues
which are tied to service (was a paratrooper now have knee and back problems,
was hit with an IED in 2007 and found out I have a partially broken spine, TBIs,
and gut issues after getting really sick over there that haven't let up in
almost 20 years). Wish me luck.
