Sorry I've Been Busy Getting Certified And Disabilities....

Sorry everyone, I've been gone for a while. Anyways if anyone can assist in the research and development of actual daily/constant contact with FUEL related medical issues, it would be greatly appreciated.

For all those who are Marine and otherwise. I was stationed primarily at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina. My entire unit at Bldg 1108. 3 Years at that location and Marines were constantly getting sick after runs and returning to the "office". Come to find out a female Marine was preg (don't get me on this particular WM) and was having abnormal medical related issues (not the average issues). Anyways, a few weeks later contractors, military police etc...were there in NBC suits with radiation monitors. They evac'd the civilians, and then a few months later, us the Marines.

For years now, I've been pushing the issue, trying to find a paper trail. I've been constantly following up and getting a lot of "beating around the bush", "I don't know nothing about it" comments. Recently, I have been able to finally get an vague positive response on the issue. Come to find out, there are over 11,000 documents on just the Base classified records, and over 500 studies by the Naval Hospital Records alone. Not to include the Naval Environmental Health Department in Washington D.C. The Marine Corps is trying to push me away indicating that I would have to pay in full 3,600.00 just for the 10k pages. I also received a letter from Homeland Security indicating that they have an officer whom will pre-review the documents before sending them out. I haven't paid, but are pushing for Congressional and Senate Inquiries. (After all the building next door in 1106 is alleged to have "had a yellow or green glow at night").

I'm shortly going to have Senator Schumer, Senator Clinton (even though I dislike her views) and Congresswoman Louise Slaughter all from New York to help "release these documents from the hands of the USMC, Navy Hospital and Naval Environmental Health Center" under FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) for no cost. I am going to also get a hold of the people directly in my unit and then spread out from there.

I just think, its absolutely amazing when officials indicate "Nothing Like that existed" and all of a sudden some approximately 13,000 documents are popping up years later. Anyways, if anyone has some "lead" on FUEL or other history about this location please let me know. I believe it is a direct nexus to the respiratory and other related issues I currently have (as well as those in my unit).

Has anyone worked with diesel or jet fuel?

Spike,

Try these web sites for your research. I hope they are what you are looking for. I was trying to find out about the health effects of jet fuel for a friend.

Thanks for your help. There are many people affected with this situation and I hope to contact them and help them with the medical treatment they may need in the future. I know that two Women Marines were pregnaunt as well as 4 males had kids during the evac. I just want to be ahead of the curveball if any of us were affected or our kids. I had respitory problems since that time and then my daughter was a high risk at that time.

JohnM was stationed at Camp Lejeune for six months, I do not know about the fuel oil, but was wondering about the water contaimention, we have not heard anything about that as of yet.
