Thank you, Mr. Arocho. This sh!t is so complicated. I appreciate your constant leadership and empathy for what we go through.
Best regards, Boe

Thanks Jimmy
This is new legislation and it will take some time to digest it and help Gulf War Vets use these new benefits.
I appreciate you sharing it!!

Typical posting by VA vague and confusing to slowly get vets to respond as time lines are involved. And in one of the cases it has to be diagnosed within one year of being discharged. Many of the guard that deployed. Didn't even have medical checkups upon returning and went without a diagnosis early on as early on in the case of gulf war syndrome they didnt have any idea what was causing. In fact they still have not nailed down a specific cause or causes. Heck gulf war registered wasn't created till 2001. I got on the registry in 2002. And had my VA base line physical. They are starting to tie a few things to specific causes. The PB tablet being one. Burn pits another and the exposure to Sarin when the AF bombed a large ammo depot that was storing the Sarin gas. Hence the alarms going off with the units that were downwind. And yes Sarin is a WMD. We gave Iraq some along with the French during Iran-Iraq war. Russia and British had also given Iraq nuclear material. This has not been widely disseminated since it has been declassified. Over the last 10 years. Thank for the share SFC Jimmy Arocho.
