Smelled like HELL. kinda felt like a rite of passage,lol. One feller through up just draggin out the barrel. you don't have to do some thing bad to get this duty,lol man thats funny. RC

Hello Nam Vet,

When your listing "enviromental exposures", such as Agent Orange, make sure you include exposure to fuel oils.

Explain in detail, what it was you were exposed to, how you were exposed and if it was repeated exposure.

As far as causing lasting mental disorders, according to what iv'e read, yes.

Since it can alter DNA, fuels can cause alot of problems.

Todays VA will require that you prove without a shadow of doubt, that you were exposed, when, where and how, backed up by scientifc data and medical opinions/diagnoses stating how it harmed you.

Once you do that, you will likely spend years apealing.

Right good luck with that, I could not in anyway see someone even telling this. I had a hell of a time of just proving be in Direct fire, burning poop you can forget it, I just don't thing there is away to prove that, my post was more of a dry sarcastic sense of humor. RC

Our Vietnam Vets were exposed to many toxins.

Look at the fight for Agent Orange and it's still not settled.

Those honey pots must have been nasty to deal with.
