The first time Kate Kelly heard the warnings about George Air Force Base, she was a 19-year-old airman just getting settled into the barracks. It was 1975.
Another female airman sat on a bed opposite. She gave Kelly the rundown of the base. At the time, George was a hub of F-4 Phantom fighter jets and OV-10 Bronco reconnaissance planes.
Kelly mentioned she’d been thinking about getting married. Her roommate’s response was quick: “Just don’t get pregnant,” the airman warned. “Don’t get pregnant at George Air Force Base.”

At George from 1970 to 74. I am so glad that I decided to rent a house in Victorville.
What was done to these women's medical records is criminal. The civilian wives should sue for the illnesses and the cover up. Unfortunately the military personnel are left to the VA.

Sad state of affairs...especially when we, the Govt attempted to cover it up. We owe these ladies and anyone else if they were at George and have these issues.

I am happy to hear that these women found the causes of their losses, but heartbreaking!
