[Thai Vet 60% S.C.]

First of all i want to say THANK YOU  THANK YOU  THANK YOU to everyone on this forum.  Today i received the BWE it used to be known as the BBE.  I learned i was granted  60% Service Connect for Prostrate Cancer and Loss of Use.  But to Ms. Berta and many many others on here I owe it all to you.  And remember NEVER EVER GIVE UP and keep on pushing.  I did, Thanks again to all.  Still fighting for 100.   Roadrunner

[Better to report medical conditions while still in military!]

I can still hear my D.I.s and NCOIC saying be a man and HACK IT. Also to honor your commitment to the U.S. Armed Services.  Now many years later, it all seems like a bunch of B.S. while I fight to get the benefits I am due and nothing more.

[Has Anyone Received an Invite to Participate in RAMP?]

just received my letter 2 days ago. been looking at the cover page writeup. cant say if its good or just another way for the man to stick it to you, and then say hell you signed up for it. and then you are SOL. some one chime in who knows what this is really all about.  still sitting on the fence.

[Video Evidence]

check and find pictures of Udorn RTAFB, you'll see the same reddish looking dirt on and around the base flight line and perimeter.  Really it was all over the base.

[VA LIARS]

I feel your pain and understand.  Just ask any Thailand Vet.  Hang in there.  YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

[100% P&T - Merry Christmas!]

Thumbs up.  Great Christmas present. I know you'll have a Happy New Year now.  Thanks to all who have served.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.  Roadrunner.

[Here we go again]

Navy04 you're right same old,same old.  Stay tuned for next year.  Thanks to all who have served.  Roadrunner.

[Here we go again]

News article in USA today titled VA shortcomings prolong vets. suffering.  It's about Vets being misdiagnosed at the VA medical center in Oklahoma.  Things that most of us already know about.  But as my title says HERE WE GO AGAIN.  Question, how many more will it take before they get their s--t together.  Good information but sad reading.   Thanks to all who have served.  We deserve Better.  Happy Holiday to all and god bless.  Roadrunner.

[Another Black eye for the VA]

It makes you wonder how they can look you in the face.  And say they are doing a great service for the Vets.  Talking about two-faced.  Thanks to all who serve.

[Another Black eye for the VA]

Found this on MSN.com  Veterans Affairs pays 142 Million in bonuses amid scandals.  Seems as if its still Business as Usual.  Sorry to upset your Veterans Day.  Thanks to all who have served.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served.  Hang in there and continue to fight the good fight.  Thanks to all for your service.  Have a great one and remember all those who are not here.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thank you very much.  My hooch was in that area that you have circled.  Yeah I guess you could not miss the yellow sub on final. It sat on top of my duty section trailer. It was banned from the NCO club after a couple of incidents.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Wow asknod I was at Udorn when they built those barns. I was in the 11th. T.R.S. photo processing trailer.  My hooch was in the back row right on the fence line on the eastern side of the base, just about where the sappers came in.   We called the food vendors Howard Johnson's in reference to the food vendors on the turnpike, I remember some of us buying fruit from them.  They would hand it through the perimeter fence on long bamboo poles with basket at the end.  Sorry to drift, but back to the matter at hand.  I read your letter of support.  You hit the nail on the head with it.  If you don't mind I would like to copy it and give it to my VSO. But if you should object I'll understand, so please let me know.  SaWaDee Kop.  My friend Wendell lived on the first floor of one of those barns. He worked in the Airborne Command Center.  The C-130 that flew at night.  So many memories.  Thanks for the information and have a great day.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thank you again bluenote.  Still it's good to know that someone else is out there looking out for us Vets.  Have a great day.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thanks bluenote for the heads up.  Does this mean that this wording has been removed and if so for what. I was just looking at M21-1 section q. yesterday and it still showed the wording you are talking about.  Maybe the one I looked at was an older one.  I'm going to try and find the updated one you speak of.  Thanks again to all.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

I received an e-mail from Mr. Hill's office.  It stated he was unable to handle my claim at this time due to a high case load.  So I will be attempting to contact another VA accredited lawyer here in my state, closer to me.  Any ideas or thoughts about this would be appreciated.  Thanks to all for your help.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Just an update for everyone.  I contacted Matt Hill's office and now I'm waiting to hear back from them.  To find out if they will handle my claim.  Will keep you posted.  Thank you to all.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thanks to all for the information.  I'm awed by the responds.  This just shows it does take a village to raise a child.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thank you Ms. Berta and Buck52 for the information and ideas. I will look into it.  And keep you posted.  Could you tell me who is Matt Hill & how can I contact him.  Again Thank you all.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thanks Broncovet for the information.  I noticed that also and was wondering about what I would call double talk.  Maybe someone can add more light to this matter.  Thank you for your input.

 

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Sorry Berta it took so long. Still learning how to work this thing (not the brightest apple on the tree) I had to walk away for a bit.  I hope this works.  Contact me if it does not.   Thank you.

Yes Berta I sent off for copies of my Service Records as well as Pay & Medical Records last week. Oh and as soon as I can figure out how to, I will scan and submit my Denial info.  I can't say this enough" Thanks All for the replies"

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thanks to all of you for the info. and links.  I found the 3-D map of Udorn last night while surfing the net.  Wow I appreciate all of the replies.  Looks like I've got a lot of reading to do.  And yes Buck52 I used to watch the T-28 with their special markings take off everyday, along with the Jolly Greens going North to Alaska.  I worked in the Precision Photo trailer for the 11th. T.R.S. at the far northern end of the base, it was called the Yellow Submarine section, because they had taken a drop tank painted it yellow and placed it atop one of our trailers.

[Thailand Vet Agent Orange Denial]

Thank you Berta for you reply. I will put the info. you sent me to good use.  I am honored to receive a reply from one of the many legends of this forum. Thank you again for All you do for us Vets.
