Since all of the mainstream news seems to have overlooked it, I want to wish anyone else on the board that was in the 1st Gulf a "happy" 20th anniversary.
I arrived Aug. 16th 1990 and was there til March 24th 1991. Turned 21 a week to the day before we went in on the ground. The worst part was the working parties that had to stay behind for a month after we left to clean our vehicles. Those poor guys were lucky to have a bus waiting for them by the time that they came back.
I haven't filed any Gulf War Syndrome claims yet. Just my knee, back and PTSD, but my stomach problems have never been figured out and I'm thinking of filing for it after my final appeal is done in a few months.
