The video opens innocently enough. A bell sounds as we gaze onto a U.S. Navy frigate, safely docked at port at Naval Base San Diego. A cadre of sailors, dressed in “crackerjack” style enlisted dress uniforms and hauling duffel bags over their shoulders, stride up a gangplank aboard the vessel. The officer on deck greets them with a blast of a boatswain’s call. It could be the opening scene of a recruitment video for the greatest naval force on the planet.
Then the rhythmic clapping begins.

Fibromyalgia is a lifelong condition that affects about 5 million Americans. People with it have sore, stiff muscles, but nothing odd shows up on X-rays or most lab tests. Doctors diagnose it based on your symptoms and an exam. While fibromyalgia doesn’t damage joints or organs, the constant aches and fatigue can really impact daily life.

Stealth technology is one of the prime reasons why the Hawaiian Raptors are able to dominate the skies and keep the Pacific safe from any aerial threat that comes too close to home, and it’s all possible because of the work of Low Observable Aircraft Structural Maintenance Airmen.
Of all the specialized career fields that come with Fifth Generation Fighters, these professionals work in a diverse environment that is comparable to the ‘auto-body shop’ of the flight line.
These specialists are equipped with a comprehensive knowledge base of chemistry and physics to advise on structural repair, modification and corrosion protection and are always on the move.
Unlike many other units in the HIANG, the Lower Observable flight is mostly comprised of full-time guardsmen who pursue long-termed careers as federal technicians and are also on Active Duty status, alongside our Total Force Partners.
On top of that, there’s opportunity for enlistment bonuses, pay increases for civilian positions and shorter-termed tours for those who are seeking seasonal employment.
