Sorry I didn't see your posting sooner. I was at Takhli in 1969. I lived in the NCO hooches that were pretty close to the perimeter. In fact the whole BX area and an open field next to it were also close to the jungle. We used to watch guys fly model aircraft in the field and they often strayed off into the jungle never to return.
I have peripheral neuropathy in both feet but never knew it was associated with Agent Orange or other defoliants. Don't know when they stopped using the stuff or how much was still around at Takhli in 69.
I guess I'm lucky if PN is the worse I get from my time in Thailand and Viet Nam.
