I was stationed at Udorn Thailand DEc. 68 to Dec. 69. I was a dental tech. at the 432nd. hospital. I discovered your site while searching for info on AO in Thailand. I have diabetes II and several other symptoms associated with AO. And have just filed a claim with VA. The barracks I lived in (late 1969) was next to the front base perminter fence. That area was kept completely clear of foliage. The last 2 months at Udorn I started waking up in the morning with large swollen itchy patches all over my body. Doctors didn't know what was causing it, so they gave me Benedryl to make it go away each time it happened. I had to take these downers almost everyday until shortly after returning home.
I had forgotten about the night foggings and I'm sure now after reading so many testimonies that the perminter next to my barracks was sprayed with AO.
About Air America, I was flown to Vientienne Laos on Air America planes and was flown to and from some remote village on Air America helicopters.
I'm sure my claim will go smoother due to all the hard work Taura Kings group has done. Thank you very much.
