BLUE WATER NAVY/ VIETNAM

[carpriver]

I don't want to start a fight but the Agent Orange birds were C-123's. There were a very few KC-130's around Vietnam, they may have refueled some of the slower fixed wing aircraft.
I worked in Air Freight, we would reconfigure the AO birds by removing the rubber bladders and rolling and folding them up then placing them on the ramp. Then we loaded fresh fruit and vegetables into the aircraft.

I recommend joining the appropriate service organization for your situation before ever speaking to the VA.

Thanks for the heads up and thanks for your service Master Chief.

They can put all kinds of laws and regulations on the books.......

....but they make it so you have to fight for every penny. And they may make it look good for a while and when attention is off of it, they start denying services again and the whole thing has to start over with a NEW bill in Congress to take care of Vets.

When I became disabled I had paid into SS my whole life. I was entitled to it but I still had to get a lawyer and spent two years trying to get payment. Of course they say, "Oh, you'll get paid retroactively", but that doesn't help worth a dam the two years you are a pauper.

When the signature goes on the line it is a legal contract stating Uncle Sam has promised you health care for serving your country. REALLY burns my buns that is is not honored as it should be. Says nothing about "pending available funding" in said contract.
