Date Posted: 12:47:00 07/09/12 Mon >I was at Utapao for the second half of 1972 and the begining of 1973. I lived in the NCO housing which was very close to the staging area for the aircraft leaving Utapao. This was very close to the perimeter of the base. I worked in the bomb dump which was on the perimeter. Try talking to the VA about this and all they say is, prove it. Anyway the reason I am writing this is because I have been rejected by the VA and have to go in front of a DRO sometime soon. I would appreciate any information, especially pictures. Thanks for lending an ear. Or eye or something.

Date Posted: 07:11:22 08/18/15 Tue I too was stationed @ U-Tapao 74-75 with 6th APS living in the prefab barracks. Whatever was being sprayed always seemed to float our way. Contact with 463L equipment(pallets, fork lifts, k-loaders, cargo nets, tie down equipment) for loading/unloading aircraft as well as aircraft themselves. Breaking down of general/hazardous cargo received and distributed to appropriate locations. I have Type 2 diabetes and will be tested for Parkinson's if my appeal gets approved. Apparently only AFSC codes related to military police get consideration. Any help with info from anyone with a 60551 AFSC would be appreciated. >>>I was at Utapao for the second half of 1972 and the >>begining of 1973.
