Posts: 1 Apr 13 11 2:04 PM	@BDMP858 SSG Finley was my first platoon sergeant in the 209th MP CO at Ft McClellan in 1994. He was SFC Finley at the time then he pcs'd oversees and I heard he made 1SG about 9 years ago. Anyway, I have been interested in this bill for some time. I was stationed at Ft. McClellan for 3 years and then about a 1 1/2 years after getting out of the Army I got Leukemia and had to have a bone marrow transplant. The two primary causes of Leukemia are chemical and radiation exposure.....go figure. I used to see "Radiation" warnings all over Pelham Range when we trained and thought nothing of it. I will be watching this bill closely in hopes I can add my name on the list. Thanks for all the leg work you are doing.

We practically lived in the nastiest environmental crap you could imagine! I was on details all over Post cleaning "stuff" up like Post Fog Oil pit by hand -nasty! I was in the Post Chemical Training Facility 5 times! I tested the M40 series mask before it was issued to everyone else in live VX, and HD agents. I also was in the 172nd Chemical Company / Ft Carson we spent 304, 314, 309, and 295 days for four years down range, Pinyon Canyon, or Ft Irwin supporting 3 brigades with smoke screening and Fog oil resupply procedures. I was also in the 71st Chemical in Hawaii who rotated to Johnson Atoll dissembling WWII Chemical weapons. That just barely touches the surface of the decon chemicals I handled (DS2 ect..) and the thousands of hours exposed to radioactive sources from 1981-2002. I have all kinds of stuff wrong with me and so does my wife; I don't know if these exposures had anything to do with it, but the cause and effect is very hard to ignore! I am 90% SC already and not 0% of the above was diagnosed as the reason! I wish we all had known and our government would just acknowledge our pain and suffering before we die.... Thanks, Jonathan

BTW, I spent six weeks at McClellen in 1968 but have no related disability. A Co. 2nd/2nd 1st Infantry 11/66-11/67

I went to Germany, returned to Redstone Arsenal, then came back to Fort Mac off and on for training. Then PCS'd to Johnston Atoll, lovely 1 year tour, nothing but "fun in the sun". And then PCS'd back to Fort Mac, where I was in the 209th, for a short stint, then moved to the school house; all the while playing at Pelham Range. I came back as a civilian employee, just before the post closed in 99. I worked as the game warden, for a couple of years. Meandered at the Birmingham VA hospital as a police officer. Then, are you ready for this...Now I've been working in security at the Anniston Army Depot since 2003. So, the way I've read your previous posts, I've been at almost every place you've mentioned. No wonder I'm having the health problems I've got. @@ Jef597@@, I'm sorry for the health problems that your going through and welcome to the site. Just my .02 Joe D.

Everything you need for your VA disability claims for Fort McClellan service is posted here including all of my Washington trip reports and statusing information for the project. Here is the LINK: http://vetsforjusticechat.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/frm/f/5701028811 This Yuku chat room is unmoderated and a lot that is posted here is just plain wrong or a lie. I am the Lead Activist and Washington Project Manager for the Fort McClellan legislation project and I am the one who is making monthly trips to Washington to push that Bill through. You can only claim PCB exposure or TCE exposure or Asbestos exposure under the new Health Registery Act. Right now we are waiting for Congress to return from recess and nothing will happen until then. The people who are doing all of the talking here on this issue have NO connection or affilliation with our official Fort McClellan legislation project whatsoever and they are NOT credible representatives for this issue. I hope this settles the matter and answers all of your questions about VA claims Stop taking your information from "rumor mills" like this one by people who don't know a thing.

If there is wrong information being put out, then POLITELY correct it, but don't come here spouting your venom. IMO, just because you have some made up title, doesn't make you credible.

Posts: 901 Apr 24 11 2:25 AM	twresamarie, Unless you're Sue Frasier you are not allowed to have any thoughts on this issue, she is the only stakeholder in this issue... she is already calling me a mental case and fraud all over her site. LOLOL I am trying to get information on this as well, but I guess she is the only one that is allowed to say or think anything about it at all. Just warning you as she seems to do this quite frequently on her posts, kinda of a bummer not being permitted to think or ask about it

Posts: 3 Apr 24 11 8:24 AM	There is NO good information at all here and from what I can tell, it is one big Liars club of disenfranchised KookBalls. Now about my title, I am on a first name basis with the House and Senate Veterans Affairs Committee as the face of the Fort McClellan legislation. I am the origial draft author of the submission version of the Bill itself. If you want to sit around and make up stories to make lazy types look far more important than they really are, then be my guest. But if you want the inside small details information of the Fort McClellan legislation and all of it's tracking then use my reporting page at VFJ. I have no intentions of going out to report at 5 million websites like this one. We do have a Facebook page, but that only links back to the VFJ reports so you are better off going directly there. If people are starting from a position of don't know how anything works, and then tries to make commentary from that starting point, then all you are getting is idol and useless JABBER. We are inside the congressional system and working it, and anybody can find my statement appearances before the House Veterans Committee by doing google searches. And I don't hide behind mysterious cryptic names like freaking BDMP858. So grow up, Navy Chief, and get over your sorry self because us girls are a coming thru!!

And let me know when you're in the Pacific NW because I would really like an autograph. Check out the numbers Ms Frasier, us "KookBalls" here at VBN have more interactive helpful posts for veterans in need here in an average hour, than your website has had in it's entire history! It would be hard to get out of the way for you Suzy Q, if we can't even see you thru all that dust! PS Can you cook? Edited 1 time by BigDaddy Apr 24 11 8:36 AM.

Posts: 33 Apr 24 11 10:51 AM	Do you know Miss Frasier, although in fact I suppose it is possible that you are unaware, that it is poor net etiquette to link to a website and copy and paste comments made there to your own page. Poor netiquette to maliciously attack others who cannot refute the nonsense you are spouting..are you the only person posting on your "website" dear? I'm sorry, that makes it a blog, not a website. Poor netiquette as well to come into someone else's website and behave the way you have. If there was something here by way of information you would have liked to have seen amended, or assistance with info you think Vets could have benefited by, you could well have done so without the attitude. There was no need to be unpleasant. VBN, contrary to the opinion you profess, is a quite wonderful website, and information here has proven invaluable to many a Vet seeking direction. Here we are allowed to ask, to question, to debate and disagree. We realize that everyone has something to contribute. It's about the Vet here, Miss Frasier, not about self appointed titles, and impressive sounding organizational skills that in fact show little substance in the light of day. I'm sorry to read that you are 'inside the congressional system and working it': may I extend my most profound sympathy to you at this time for your predicament. It's about the Vet at VBN. Not about the ego. I'll tell you what Miss Frasier. You carry on tilting at windmills. VBN will carry on, Vets helping Vets.

Posts: 3 Apr 24 11 1:21 PM	The VFJ website overall specializes in taking on the system and beating down the status quo for a VA claims system that is corrupt, broken, and serves nobody at all except the crony few who sucks beer after work with the pinheads who control it. The McClellan reporting forum has a mission of documenting the source papers used for the legislation, tracking the bill as it moves forward or gets delayed, and conveying the inside information that I pick up from my Congressional member meetings in Washington for the same. If that is too LARGE for low I.Q. reading universe, then by all means drown in the muck of delusions, myths, and false rumors here because none of it is in line with the truth or the papers which sits before congress. Those of you Ladies who somehow are of the idea that you are being served here by talking to a bunch of Nobodies who do NOT work the system, this is exactly why you are wanting for information. Because you are too too lazy to read the science reports that will get your VA claims through. The VA Presumption Statusing system and it's required Act of Congress legislation to make it happen, is nowhere addressed here, and all you are doing here at this YUKU website is swimming in a fools paradise. Yes I'm smart and make no apologies for it. That's why I am getting this bill through like I am in record time. And Oh PLEASE!! do grow up and give me a freaking BREAK! about "netiquette". Go home and get outta my face with this stuff. After you come down from your heroin high, let's talk about the VA toxic exposure arena. Oh and as the saying goes, "there is a sucker born every minute" and that's how I respond to your "hits per minute" record. Fools will always look for an audience, and my site, we weed them out and take them on for what they are. Our cause is just and in the end, it's our readers who are finding their INFORMED voice and taking on the system for change. Now stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Posts: 621 Apr 24 11 1:32 PM	Leg...... And I'm not sure you have one to stand on here............ Why in the world would you come to a site and act the way you are?????? The ONLY thing 99% of the posters here are trying to do is gain information..........and help fellow vets and their families. IF you truly have an interest in the issue why not work WITH others to provide information instead of doing all you can to turn folks away? If you were as smart as you think you are.................. To come here and make all the remarks about the vets here being stupid, on drugs etc is totally uncalled for and extremely off putting. Grow up. You get a "needs improvement" on "plays well with others". Gotta admit you have me thinking you stood too close to something for a good long while, or got dunked in it...... or.... somebody pooped in the pipe YOU were smoking.
