Are there any Air Force vets here who were in Guam for Operation Paul Bunyan? If so, how hard was it to recover your mobilization orders?

My father was stationed in Guam during that operation, and filed a claim for agent orange exposure. However, he was told the VA couldn’t locate his orders.

Potential Agent Orange exposure in Guam is recognized by the VA starting 9 Jan 1962 thru 31 July 1980. OP Paul Bunyan (Korea) really has nothing to do with possible exposure. Submit the SF 180 to National Archives to show proof of BOG in Guam between those dates.

MSG (Join to see) at this point, there’s really no telling. That was hopefully what Rally Point would provide.

SPC(P) Brandon Jenkins that's why I always suggest National Archive. Just google SF 180 and it should be the first link that takes you to National Archives site to submit. Be aware that results could take a while

I was there in August of 76. If you were there during that time it is presumed you were exposed. I have already filed the SF180. I wasn't on a flight crew, I was a crew chief.

SrA Robert Paroski - That is what I said at the very beginning. All you can do now is wait to see what results the SF 180 comes back with.
