I was at Camp Alamo from 1966 thru 1969. I was a Ground
Surveillance Radar SP-5 Crew Chief on OP-052 on the DMZ.
ASA was also there with us on the other end of the hill. I
stayed in Korea 2 years 7 months of my 3 year enlistment to
keep from going to Vietnam. The time I was on the DMZ
everybody would call me Rick because we had other Richards
assigned to our group, and for some reason another soldier
would call me Joe. I do recall we had two staff sergeants in charge, on was
sergeant Fowler and the other on was sergeant Hazel. I was exposed to Agent
Orange. Had my case denied twice by the VA. Because the VA has no service
records of be at the DMZ. I was sent to the DMZ TDY for 180 days. and ended up
staying there 2 years 7 months.

Agent Orange and possibly other rainbow toxins were sprayted by ROK forces under watchful eye of US Command.

The spraying began in 1968. See other AO threads on this BBS. But, who knows when the chemicals were actually transshipped to Korea.
