I WAS STATIONED AT OSAN FROM 68 TO 69 . I WORKED IN CIVIL ENGIN. I WORKED THE RUNWAY LIGHT AND BARRIER SYSTEMS OF THE AIR FIELD. I CAN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATES BUT THEY ASKED ME TO VOLUNTIER TO DRIVE A BIG DUMP TRUCK WITH SOME ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS AN 3-4 BARRELS THAT WERE GREENISH BROWN WITH AN ORANGE STRIPE AROUND THE MIDDLE UP TO SEOUL. I REMEMBER HOW ONE OF THE BARRELS WAS LEAKING . OF COURSE DRIVING ON THOSE ROADS DID NOT HELP THAT AT ALL. IT SPILLED ALL OVER THE BED. I HAD 2 FRIENDS RIDE WITH ME ON THE DRIVE. I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS TILL I SAW NEWS ABOUT THE AGENT ON THE NEWS AND THE DIRECTER OF MY LOCAL VA CLINC INFORMED ME I HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO AGENT ORANGE.
