AGENT ORANGE ACTION GROUP RECORDS

Posted on May 23, 2012 by asknod

I was sent these records from one of our sotto voce members who would probably prefer to keep his head down and deny he did. We owe him a great debt. I have read extensive records on Project Checo-mostly dealing with our … Continue reading →

Posted on May 22, 2012 by asknod

Member Kiedove sends us this to begin our Memorial Day remembrances. I want to thank her profusely for sending us this.  It’s the first time I’ve seen something like it. I’ll try to induce some of the members locally to pester … Continue reading →

7TH RADIO RESEARCH FIELD STATIONS

Posted on May 21, 2012 by asknod

I never journeyed down to Ramasun from Udorn but we serviced Detachment B in Chiang Mai until they installed the TRC-35 in 72. We had a 25 pair cable out to their site to give them the semblance of security. … Continue reading →

AO COVERUP REVEALED

Posted on May 20, 2012 by asknod

With all the chicanery and classified secret ops we were running in SEA, it comes as no surprise that this coverup has been suppressed for so long. Our military often operated sotto voce without even a rudimentary oversight by Congress … Continue reading →

BVA– AO At Fort McClellan RVN

Posted on April 26, 2012 by asknod

I always thought Fort McClellan was in Alablama. Seems they did some “non-tactical” deployment of AO, AW and AB (in small quantities) there in the late sixties. Does this surprise anyone? Just how soon do you think it will come … Continue reading →

BVA–NO AO IN THAILAND

Posted on April 13, 2012 by asknod

This is an unfortunate decision for the Vet. He should have done some research on his claim before filing. The fact that he had the MOPH repping him is not going to help. Hell, they should have known better. Cellulitis … Continue reading →

BVA –CHLORACNE WIN

Posted on April 13, 2012 by asknod

This is the only win I’ve ever seen on Chloracne. It, like PCT and subacute peripheral neuropathy are those rare items you hear about like extraschedular ratings. You know they exist on paper in 3.309(e)  but have never actually met … Continue reading →

PCT Website

Posted on February 29, 2012 by asknod

I found this looking for the blood test on PCT. I’m still searching for that one. I was always tested for it via a 24 hour urine collection. Last year my hepatologist (Yep, Eileen, Lori!) said she was going to … Continue reading →

I got an interesting article from member (anyone who writes me is a member!) Mike J. this morning. Attached was a link to a Veterans  legal assistance site talking about certain sites in Thailand and the usage of AO there. Postscript for … Continue reading →

BVA–I WAS THERE,DUDE.

Posted on February 20, 2012 by asknod

If everyone who said they were in Vietnam during the war had really been there, I expect it would have been standing room only. In fact, if everyone who said they got this or that medal for their combat had, … Continue reading →
