I was at CRB during 1970-71 working the Bous. Does anyone that was there at that time remember any Agent Orange spraying, etc? The doc at the VA asked if I had been exposed but I couldn't say for sure since I couldn't remember. I seem to recall C-123s flying there but just not sure. I'd like to go to my Monday appointment with her and say yes. But.... Thanks.

C-123's did the spraying. Go to VA Agent orange map to look for where they sprayed. However it doesn't matter. All you have to prove is that you stepped foot in country and you are eligible. I just did it. I was in CRB 69-70 and have prostate cancer. Type II diabetes among other things all related to Agent Orange. the VA would not accept my 214 as proof that I was there. Had to get a "BUDDY LETTER" Good Luck! JP

Does anyone remember the rocket attack on Herky Hill in Jan. of 1970.The rocket hit the chow hall but Charlie was aiming at the yellow parachute we put up on our "deck". The AP's came and tore it down. There were some injured in the chow hall. If anyone can remember the date it would help.Thanks JP

Pat, Hearing loss is a common claim with the VA. they will pay for hearing aids or give you a check every month if you opt not to get the hearing aids. I met with a VA rep. Hearing aids are $5000.00 and up. I had 4 years C-130 time. Waiting to hear from the VA now on my claim for hearing loss and AO related cancer.
