I was with the first load of Army Sentry Dogs which was to become the 212th MP Co.
In 1965/66 We dipped the dogs on a regular basis, and don't remember what that was? I have no idea what was used to dip the dogs in, it could have been Marathon? I can remember we use to clean the Dip Tank out on Thursdays, and would fill it with water and take baths in it! We also use to put our weekend beer in the tank and fill it with ice and then Friday nights we would drink the beer!
I have within the last 3 years started to experience more of the problems that I have had for about 20 years or more. I was thinking it was just me getting old! Clearing my throat, having "My Flapper Valve" not work all the time! Swelling, Constance drainage, Sore Throat, Chocking a lot on just drainage because the Flapper Valve didn't close right. I have also developed Asthma(not sure of spelling) over the last few years! But I think I have had it for a long time! I have had shortness of breath, which could have been the Asthma? Since I got out of the Army in 1967.
Do any of you have any idea what was used to dip the dogs in 65/66 when I was in Vietnam.
I don't want to sound like I am crying wolf here! Because I don't have any idea what was used to dip the dogs when I was in Vietnam, but reading your page sure has me thinking a lot, because I have a LOT of the same problems!!!
