Read this link. Contact your VA. If your condition is not considered presumptive....well.....

I don’t recall there being a burn pit at Bondsteel. I could be wrong, but I never saw or smelled one. Now up at gate one in 2011 we were burning our poop and trash like crazy.

I was there in 2003 to 2004 way before you in addition to fire pits munitions were regularly detonated

You are wrong there were not only fire pits at Camp Bondsteel but detonation of munitions weekly outside the camp.

In addition to location of the deployment are the types of burn pits. Look at the link k provided and inquire of the VA rep. If you believe after reading the available information that you should be covered then put in a claim and or exception.

I have already submitted my claim with the VA. And evidence (photos) showing a US Army Disposal Unit about to detonate munitions outside camp Bondsteel. I personally witnessed the detonation and explosion of the munitions. I was the medical officer there. I was a safe distance away but I still felt the repercussions in my chest when the explosion occurred.

COL Paul Duron my apologies Sir, I must have two chains mixed up. Are you looking for something that may be related to controlled detonations or burn pit. My RP page is wacky.
