My father is 100% disabled Veteran. He has Agent Orange. He was not Navy.

Don't know how many Navy RP members there are out there, but check these ships and see if one you were on is listed then contact the VA.

As strongly as I feel about the conduct and responsiveness of the VA, there are way too many loopholes In the support of PTSD, Agent Orange and Homelessness. I am qualified to apply for disability (in addition to my current minor award) due to my stopping in Saigon for a couple of days. Even made rounds as SP with the military component of S.
VN. IMO, we need to weed out the unsubstantiated claims more vigorously and seriously focus on those with related medical conditions, when they are identified.
