Dan, I was a STG2 working as an analyst in the T building on NAVFAC GRAND TURKS in 1968. ( Obviously a few years before OT's). I have COPD stage ,4. I am and was a non smoker. Otherwise, very healthy. I put in a disability claim for bronchitis and COPD. I was denied, my American Leigon rep put in for reconsideration, they denied that also. Now I'm scheduled for my first appeal in August. I'd love to communicate with you on this to share and help each other, and any other past personell out. I've only found one "official " publication put out by the USN discussing the amount of carbom dust coating everything in the T building. And of course certainly ill vertainly share that.

 

My direct email, ronanderson@snet looking forward to hearing from you shipmate. Be well. Ron Anderson 

 

PS. Anyone with an interest , wanting help or offering help please feel free to respond to me at this email.
