Thailand Herbicides Exposure Claim Approved (long)
Posted by Merv Hayner on 7/29/2013, 18:12:10
Info on my claim. Assigned to FMS for one week after arrival, someone found my secondary and volunteered me to SPS. Worked Cobra flight with a bunch of great but crazy guys. Posts on the north perimeter prowling with the K9 units (didn't have a dog) bunker duty at the west end runway. Crawled in the dirt training new Augmentes on my off duty time (kept me out of trouble) Had pictures of me with my gear on, used the pictures both b/w & color, had a ltr of appreciation from training NCO seconded by SPS Commander. Never dropped an appeal deadline, finally asked for help from my Senator. All of a sudden things were found that weren't there, they got me in for the AO exams, also my personal DR went to bat for me several times and did hours of paperwork to explain what I had and the connection to Herbicides. I will be glad to share any information I can with my fellow vets.
