Agent Orange Confirmed Use And Storage Fort Greely Alaska

Rate this question


Capt.

Question

Hello All,

Here is another document for those trying to service connect Agent Orange to Fort Greely Alaska. Not that there is not documentation already and from ARCHIVES here, mostly from my research over the last 10 years and other Hadit members, but this is more documentation to help not just myself but others. Please read the report and look at PAGE 9 at the bottom,,,. There is also definitive recognition to the Nuclear Waste contamination. As always NEVER GIVE UP . God Bless, C.C.

The file won't open.  Do you have a copy of the pdf?  We're trying to connect exposure for my dad's service

The link to the PDF is about 10 years old. The original site hosting it may have disabled the link. I checked archive.org and the link has not been cataloged. Capt. C has not been online here for about 8 years...

Unfortunately, I do not have any additional info outside of some web sites casually mentioning both greely and orange, but not in relation to each other. Other members here might have info, but you could always submit a Freedom of Information Act request asking the VA to provide any info they may have on AO being present at Greely.

Brian, the good Captain is doing well. As of this day, the VA still will not admit any AO use at Fort Greeley. The only things that has succeeded are some 112/Shad issues based on the Elk Hunt Phase 1 test subjects and even those are extremely rare since there are not a lot of them still alive.

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

Capt., my hat is off for the work you do for the Veteran's. I look at that picture of you and I see me in 1970 as I went to the promise land.

Hello SP4,,,Thank you for those kind words. I feel like I have to do something ,,,not just for myself but for those friends and loved ones gone from the effects of chemical exposures or bullets. I just can't stand by and do nothing and any help or encouragement I can give any Veteran may come at a time that could either save their life or understand and make plans for their recovery or treatment to get better. Those of us dying from this stuff and dealing with diseases that are rare and not common to the general public is something that a Veteran sometimes cannot understand. And of course getting so sick that he or she cannot continue to try and fight to get better or even worse, their not taking their health issues serious and dying because of no treatment or denied benefits by VA.

I will continue to try and research and gather to Archive here whatever I can and to help any Veteran I can along the way. We are all in this together and cannot leave anyone behind. Take care SP4 and remember to NEVER GIVE UP. God Bless, C.C.

C.C., continue your fight to help these veterans from all wars. Chemical exposure is a bullet that is silent, but so deadly. There is Veterans that did not go to Vietnam that has been infected with this chemical disease. Your job is so far from being done, YOU take care and NEVER GIVE UP.

God Bless

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
