Zebra,

I feel for you bro.

A guy who has worked in our shipping dept. for years was in the reserves for 19 years, 11B, 11B20, etc. His unit was called up, went to Saudi for 6 months. He had never in his life had a single medical issue, except that he did wear glasses sometimes. Anyways, after he did his 6 months and came back, wierd shit started happening. Dizzyness all the time, mabey on a good nights sleep, 6 hours of sleep. Alot of diff. problems. The VA for the first few years said it wasn't War related or some shit, but they have him on like 15-20 pills a day for the last 10+ yrs or so. I keep telling him to get a good lawyer as he deserves some disability, but he doesn't know where to go and doesn't know all that kind of shit. I always feel bad for Larry, man such a good guy. He wasn't in battle, he was a Nco in charge of guarding some ship docks or something. Must have got some bad gas over there I guess.

Fucked thing was, he was at 19+ years when he came back, smoked some pot as it helped him sleep, then his # came up for a ua, since he was an e-5, he had to go, 1 year shy..

If you know any lawyers handling claims for Gulf war soldiers, please let me know.

thanks

todd
