MSgt Lonnie Burkey4620148<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was a Crew Chief on F-4s and worked at the 780 equipment shop while serving at Cadena. I have multiple myeloma which has been connected to Agent Orange in the VA handbook. I have recently found evidence that Agent Orange was used, stored and buried on Cadena Air Base. I am currently awaiting a decision on a VA disability claim. There have been cases where multiple myeloma was connected to exposure to JP4 and JP8 jet fuel as well, and these veterans' claims were granted. I first filed my claim connecting my disease to jet fuel exposure in 2011, and it was denied because the VA wouldn't connect jet fuel to the cause of my disease. In August 2018 I filed a claim to reopen my first claim due to the new evidence I found relating to Agent Orange at Cadena. I'm still waiting.Was anybody exposed to Agent Orange at Cadena Air Base, Okinawa, in the early 1970s?2019-05-09T15:27:01-04:00MSgt Lonnie Burkey4620148<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I was a Crew Chief on F-4s and worked at the 780 equipment shop while serving at Cadena.
