    Giz,

    I seem to remember setting a code on a box mounted near the ceiling towards the front of the cargo compartment on the Langley birds. I would get the code from the Nav. Anyone remember that? If I remember right, it sent some type of identifier signal.

    Yeah, those were the days. My AC, Capt. Bob Craft, taught me the about drinking scotch whiskey on a rotation to Rhine Main. Still drink it today, but a little bit better stuff. Not that Johnnie Walker is bad.

    That was the rote that started the tennis ball cannon wars.

    pwylie,

    Obviously you DO think that's funny!! You posted it twice!!!

    Now that's what I call "ordinary"!!

    All of the guys on this forum are ORDINARY to me.

    Now, I'm not so sure about "normal".

    I have found a second home here and I chose this "home" and really enjoy being here and reading "good stuff" like Chris's post!!!

    Thanks for listening all of you "ordinary people",

    Ken

    KEN, Was just having some fun and cutting up with Giz. Hope no one took offense. I'm with you about finding a home here and enjoy reading the post daily.

    Outstanding, Chris. I finally got it to open..................my only question is this..If ordinary people like us can see this shit, why in hell can't the countries leaders see it???? Oh, yeah their main interest is gettin' re-elected............and we dumb asses continue to send them back and elect pieces of crap like Bush, Obama, Clinton, and Carter who promise to lead us to the land of milk and honey, all the while promising stuff they cannot deliver, (like that cow Bachman sayin' she would drop the price of gasoline), when all the while most of the problem lies with those pieces of water buffalo shit in Congress who get there and stay. We served to preserve, but the average citizen has no idea what that means. I worked for the 2010 census for a while and met a guy who was a nam vet, actually worked in the airlift command group, and many of us when where he sent us, basically, and he said this 'If you never wore the uniform of this country, you are just a visitor.""" Damn few of those in DC ever did, many of those who did, have forgotten the experience. too bad they will probably never read Chris's report...............hell, they wouldn't understand it anyway...

    Does anyone know if squamish cell carcinoma, is covered by the VA if you served in Viet Nam as far as a disbility benefit?

    Bob

    Bob, If you are on the Agent Orange Registry, they will cover your dermatology problems.

    I've had many squamous cell carcinomas frozen, scraped or surgically removed by the VA. Make sure you have them taken care of, because squamous cells can spread. As far as it being an AO condition for disability payments. It is not one of the acknowledge conditions associated with AO.

    Thanks for the info on AO. I have the treatment pretty well covered by Medicare and Tricare at least so far, but I think I'll check on getting on the AO registry. I have already signed up and got a determination on VA benefits, fairly low rating and the advisor at the VA Hospital at West Roxbury MA pretty much told me as long as I had Medicare and Tricare then that was easier and better than the VA. I do plan to look into VA pharmacy in MA because it is just a mile away, but the VA in Dallas is a long haul into terra incognita here in Dallas.

    Thanks

    Bob
