I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever, hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life

I just enrolled and was exposed to a lot of those toxic chemicals/agents. It’s great we can finally get things like this.

I've asked for years, especially while active duty, about exhaust. Most of my job was flightline and warehouse. Biggest gripe was Engine Run Operation. If you didn't have my job fine, but if you deployed all of us (celebrities included) un/board planes engines running. Your not just breathing in exhaust but the burn your eyes felt evening with GOGGLES ON can't be good. The only help received from environmental was a noise meter. I informed the rep that hearing protection could be doubled up, but thank you for showing up it's a step in the right direction. That was 04 nothing else happened. Thanks for all y'all do

I spent a stint in the north Arabian Sea escorting us flagged oil tankers while attached to special warfare boat unit, it was considered a war zone as far as I know. I know I didn’t pay taxes during this time frame 1987 ish. All the dates they show do not include the time I was there. I’m gunna apply anyway. Worth a shot!!

[mrwinston_thepug]

We need more publicity of this channel !!
Thank you for the information.

Before the rules changed about VSO's I was pushing the health care process before the veterans applied for the benefits. It's great that this is coming back

[jasonbilyeu]

Just got into the VA system. It is hard to get an appointment, treated like cattle, and people don't do their job - same as anywhere. I'm sorry I left the health insurance I was paying for and plan on going back next enrolment - I at least had some flexibility and more control. More patients without more providers is not going to make the system any better. This smells like another effort on the Biden administration to try to buy votes from military personnel. Just remember: If it doesn't cost anything, it has no value.

What about before 911? We were getting hostile fire pay for our P3 det in Masirah in 1988. Our planes were outfitted at the last minute with IR jammers and flare pods. The threat were manpads from iranian boghammer move fasts that were harrassing shipping. Our berths wiith the omani's were right by a big ass air search radar. Our 1988 era sony walkmen would static out with each sweep of that beam. That interference in in a cassette player may have been from the intense rf of that radar. To get that in a device not designed to receive radio waves seemed curious at the time we didn't think anything about it. we were flying during operation earnest will. No family history of cancer I have had two kinds of cancer on three different occasions with metatastic disease and am interested in this topic. Sort of betwixt and between on the PACT act seems like it should include us too. Thank you I enjoy your information.

Is the VA prepared with the resources needed to support the sudden influx?

[rgregg]

What about us Blue Water Navy guys outside the ridiculous 12 nautical mile requirement? We got screwed!

[derricks]

was exposed to firefighter foam in bootcamp, worked on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier with a fighter squadron, suffered several active-duty service connected injuries and was deployed in Libya/Beirut and Grenada but due to an OTH from PTSD haven't been able to get VA Healthcare or Benefits in 30+ years???

I was in Vietnam from 2/70 to 2/71. Charlie 2 was dusty and dry (except rainy season). We had a fire pit in the middle of the large circle. You could smell something all of the time. We also burned our own number 2. We mixed the large cans with fuel and burned it. This was everyday.

[texastedskol]

I am dumbfounded that jet fuel is not considered a toxin. I spent 23 yrs around thst stuff.

[SammifromMiami]

Our border listening post along the Iron Curtain during the Cold War had contaminated drinking water from radiation. The EPA even came onto the installation and gave everyone a letter attesting to this fact. Several of our comrades from that time developed cancer and were able to get extremely quick reaction time to life saving medical treatment from the VA because they had that letter in their posession. Does this sort of exposure count towards being able to enroll in VA health care? Plus what about all the time we spent in the motor pool clean jeep parts with degreaser solvent?

[bfreerv]

Did they remove the salary limitation with the new toxin changes?

[PhilipBingham-kx]

They should honestly just allow us to find our own health providers and allow us insurance coverage according to our ratings.

Question for the SitRpes; I'm a USMC Vet back in 1981 was stationed at Camp Lejeune and that was during the 'watershed chemical spill' era, but I don't have cancer (that I am aware of). I have had many legal firms calling day and night but all they are looking for is a fast buck (AKA: Cancer cases) and I can't be bothered by, especially "Greedy People"! What do you suggest?

[robertwilcken]

Hi, so back in the early 60's Eglin AFB was testing agent Orange as well as purple. My wife and 2 brothers were the children of an active duty man. The children can be linked to symptoms and diseases of AO. I believe they can get benefits from this exposure because they were dependents. What do you say? Thank you.

[ericthomas]

I'm confused, As A veteran I'm entitled to VA Healthcare Benefits am I not? So what is this "New" Benefits Eligibility about?

[hankhumphrey]

I was involved in Operation Dominic in 1962--63--at Johnston Island--what about us?--
