I became a civilian after 10 years, 3 months in the USAF. I have been a disabled vet since. My local VO helped me file for AO last month (had over 16 illnesses listed on claim). I hate going to VA centers and hospitals, even with my 'Patient Priority Card'. However, I now have 14 physicians, and take 54 pills each day, so it makes sense for me to file now.
While at Takhli many times I went to areas off the cement 'pad' to have a smoke. I used to like watching the Thais gathering 'baht bugs' from the large, portable bright lights around the aircraft.
I'll try to update this message as changes occur.
