While I was deployed with CLB-6, I had 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines out with us on our FOB. Their BAS section was run by a Chief Petty Officer Jacobson (I don't know his first name). HMC Jacobson and I were pretty close and he was the one who ended up filing the report on my electrocution during an HST in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, that report (on paper) was lost and it wasn't filed online; as many of you marines and sailors will know, our medical records were switched over to online from paper records within the last year, and since our SIPR and NIPR lines were down at that point at my FOB (because of demil) the docs there could not file it.
I have been to the VA and they cannot put anything down for the electrocution because it is not in my medical record, but if I track down Chief Jacobson then he would be able to do something for me in the way of reproducing that paper. Is there anyway I can get a hold of 3/7 medical to see if he is still there and if there is a way I can get in contact with him?

You need to take this up with one of the admins in the command post area. Semper Fi brother. Good luck.

Funny you mention that Sergeant, I did bring it up with the HMC at my reserve unit. I even gave him names, but he didn't have an answer for me and none of the naval medical staff really showed any initiative in trying to find a way to contact 29 Palms. I have decided to go the route myself, since my reserve unit isn't really being helpful.

Don't stress out too much about it either. VA is going to justify their decision based on disability. If they do a physical, and say that you didn't suffer any permanent damage, it is not worth it for you to get angry about the voltage, as much as that sucks to say. For example, they base decisions on joint damage on range of motion, not the incident that caused the problem. Don't be a Marine (respect intended fully) and say that "It hurts, but I have learned to live with the pain". If it hurts, or it's broke, then sing out loud and proud. Ill try to find the regs that the VA uses to determine fitness. There are lots of VA people here on RP that can give you much better info than me. Drop messages till you get some love.
