I was stationed at Ubon RTAFB from Jul 72 to Jul 73 My unit was the 8th Security Police Squadron. The things that I've read today 30 Mar 09 sure do ring a bell. Remember the heavy smell in and around the Huts where we tried to get some rest. Worked days and nights while I was there. I worked with a Thai local national named Lek, Setting up slap flares with wire taught against the Constantina which would set off the Flares. The primeter was littered in broken whiskey bottles from the the officers and NCO clubs. The odor was heavy and gave me headaches. Now I have issues with lungs, arthritus, rubbery feeling hands legs and feet. Terrible issues with my feet. ended up doing 20 years in the military and having issues getting help.
