>I'm looking for any one stationed at Korat Thailand (AFB) 1969 ish. My brother-in-law was stationed there, he now has Non- Hodgkins Lymphoma, which moved to his brain. His job duties as much as I can determine is that he washed planes and loaded them with bombs. He spent a lot of time on the runways. I know AO was used as defolient at some bases. Were waiting for his records to be sent from St. Louis.

Please help.

I was at Korat 69-70. I was in Tiger Flight(Base Security) and was all over the base and perimeter. I now have Type 2 diabetes, nueropathy in feet, legs and hands, had a heart stint in 03, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, enlarged prostrate, severe arthritis, reflux, anemic, depression, dizziness and trouble keeping balance when walking(now using cane)all of which I am taking medication for(15 perscriptions daily). The perimeter was clear of foliage, plus we were sprayed constanly for whatever. I couldn't even get an ID card for the VA because I "made too much money" at the time I applied. I am planning on try again soon and would like to know any info about Agent Orange or any other chemicals used at Korat. I can't furnish any pictures because my "Teelok" kept mine and was supposed to mail to me. She didn't! Good luck and send me anything you find that will help.
