Do you feel that registering on the VA Airborne Hazard and Open Burn Pit Registry is worth it?

Thank you for your response. I posed this question because I am doing a research project on the registry. If you are willing to take a quick, anonymous survey on registration please let me know.

MAJ Ken Landgren - did you serve in CENTCOM after 2001? If so, you were probably exposed to burn pits without your knowing.

Probably won't know the value until later if more folks start having issues. It at least gives them an idea how many folks were exposed and where they served at during the exposure. I can see the value of being able to cross reference ailments with specific sites and times served at those places as issues crop up with veterans later in life.

Thank you for your insight, would you be willing to complete a survey in support of a research project I am doing on this topic? If so, the survey takes less than five minutes to complete.

It doesn't do anything good or bad. I registered for it when it was first created because I was at balad at the biggest burn pit when they were at their worst. Maybe, one day, 40 years from now the VA will recognize service-connected disabilities do to burn pit exposure. The registry is basically a will call list just in case burn pit exposure ever becomes a recognized Factor
