Report: Camp Pendleton Officials Skipped Water Radiation Tests

There you go Col. "Officials" is always a cop out. There is an individual who is responsible for understanding the requirements and seeing that they are satisfied. One person with direct responsibility and others with ultimate responsibility. I, and hundreds of thousands of other people who were stationed at Camp LeJeune suffer from maladies because some individuals, not "officials" decided the water contamination that existed for 30 years was not worthy of their concern.

Absolutely. I don't know who that is but I suspect someone at CE or the hospital does

No SPC Cathy Goessman, it is a big screw up. Someone failed to do their duty . Fifty years ago someone decided that the concentration of Agent Orange resident in the areas we worked in wasn't dangerous. Sixty years ago somebody decided the chemicals in the water at LeJeune were not going to harm anyone and disregarded the instructions regarding potable water (I've read that report). In the 50s some supremely intelligent individual decided it was all right for Marines to stand around in the desert while they blew a nuc, then had them advance to an objective. Forty eight years ago I lost two friends because someone decided their aircraft was "good enough".
Yes, I know a lot of things seem foolish based upon what we know at this moment, but curiously, we keep learning and what was once considered harmless turns around and bites someones butt, normally not the one who made the decision that it just wasn't that big a deal. The water should be clear of radiation and rats. My kids had to drink the water and none of them were capable of measuring any of the pollutants. We all rely upon someone doing their job.
