>>I was with the 432nd K-9 section in 1972. I remeber dipping some of the dogs at least 2-3 times and yes, I got a bath each time. I am currently in the Air Guard, ready to retire in a few months. About 4 months ago I woke up with a righr arm/shoulder pain and ever since then I have a hard time getting in/out of the SP trucks, doing pushups and lifting more than 20 lbs. The MD who did my Medical Evaluation Board paperwork (I also am a type 2 diabetic) said it nothing "major" and that's where it is at. I am now awaiting a decision from Randolph AFB MEB as to whether I will stay until my 1 Oct 03 retirement date or if I will retire before that. I have unexplained limited range of motion with my neck, and none of these symptoms may be connected to malathion, but then, who knows. I am getting ready to go to the publisher with a book about the 432nd K-9 corps, and maybe the dips should be included in the book?
I have no photographs and if anyone can mail me the hard copies would be appreciated . After all, what's a book without photos?
