Thanks Jimmy!
This is important stuff to follow. Whether you are concerned about your health following your deployment or are checking out possible disability benefits this is the place you need to be listening- you might even have a question after you listen.
You are the best advocate for your health and benefits!

Very well said! I appreciate your continued support SGT Langeland. I'm with you, I have the highest expectations of the RACGWVI. After 30 years post-deployment, it is a fair expectation for Gulf War Illness diagnosis and treatments.

Tony, I can't say enough about how volunteering and working with the researchers have improved my understanding of what in the Sam Hill is happening to my body and what I can to to ameliorate the consequences of my problems. Sincerely, Boe

Thank you for the heads up, SFC. I plan to be there. Who will be making recommendations to the Secretary? I get the committee, but where are they getting their information about recommendation?

The RACGWVI is a diverse team of professionals that include clinicians, researchers, and our fellow Desert Shield/Storm Veterans. The team is highly focused on our post-deployment QoL, health, and benefit's challenge. They are experts at the clinical presumptive's, known as chronic multi-symptom illnesses. Collectively, the team gathers our concerns aired at these very meeting. This information is reported to the secretary of the VA. I appreciate your longterm support SGT Marshall.

Okay, SFC, thank you for the follow up and detailed information. I have attended a few RAC's in the past, and there can be an overwhelming amount of information from a ton of interested stakeholders. I hope this one is meaningful. Best regards, Boe
