] Date Posted: 17:50:53 08/12/08 Tue I took pictures while I was stationed at Ko-Kho Air Station Thailand 1971-72 (15 months). I was in transportation and was there at the transfer of the air station from General Electric to USAF during Cobra Talon. In deed the land was barren and devoid of vegetation. A few years ago a former USAF service man visited Ko-Kha in 2003 and took pictures. I have his pictures to compare to mine. I was diagnosed with insulin dependant diabetes in 1988 (37 yr old) and am insulin resistant. I have hypertension and heart dieases, had a heart attack, and a quad-bypass in 2003. I have viterous hemorrages in both eyes, I have neuropathy in both lower legs and both hands. I have arthritis in my spine plus other complicatons. I am 57 years old. I am interested in help, assistance, or advise to file a claim with the VA. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:32:34 08/20/08 Wed I was stationed at Ko Kha from 1973 to 1974. I was there on closing day in 1976 . Then I was stationed at Chieng Mai. I worked at the post office and I too have similar conditions e.g heart attack, diabetes, blood pressure. I am 60% disabled and put in for AO due too diabetes but was disapproved because wasn't a day in Vietnam. So if you have any ideas on how to get approval please let me know.

Date Posted: 19:25:52 03/22/12 Thu Do you have any proof of inbound transportation to Thailand. I remember traveling on a commerical airline into a Vietnam airbase. We embarked and only half got back on to go to Thailand. Is this what you remember, do you have any proof? My records were lost by USAF form Thailand and Guam. What is a 'stressor' how can you help with VA Claim? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
