We sprayed it from flame tanks around our perimeters.
I have had skin cancer, bladder cancer, and prostate problems.
I have been lucky. Many of my friends are dead or dying from very aggressive prostate cancers.

To say "Thank you for your service" is a complete and utter understatement.
Hang in there brother!

Unfortunately, yes I was exposed. I have not had the long list of ailments that many Viet Nam vets have. I have heart problems, skin cancer (X2), typeII diabetes, and I have a daughter who has several medical problems directly related to AO. My older brother was a Marine in Viet Nam in 66-67 and he has so many cancers that I have lost count. Most of the Marines he served with are dead from AO.

Patrols in freshly sprayed areas. Sleeping on sprayed ground, filling canteens from groundwater in a sprayed area. A lot of ground pounders never knew what was in store for them.
