Hey devil dogs I was with mwss-273 as well at Jabail lonesome dove and a airfield just south of Kuwait.
I was a combat engineer and did my share of matting along side some see bee's.
Its nice to hear some can remember some their experiances unfortunatly I cant remember much of anything anymore and the guy that memtioned the runnin sh*&*7's for a couple years Iv'e had it for going on 20 it sucks and of course VA can find nothing wrong.I also was discharged after returning for upper airway disease at a whoppin 10% and have since been increased to 20%. But they still claim that my promblems are just that I'm gettin old.
Has anyone else had anything like this?

Below is from the Gulf War Illness and Health of Gulf War Veterans published Nov 2008
http://www1.va.gov/rac-gwvi/docs/GWI...eport_2008.pdf
It is a 465 page report
Page 24 (also see page 40,274,284,307)
Additional research and clinical findings in Gulf War veterans. Additional information
pertaining to biological and clinical characteristics of symptomatic Gulf War veterans is available from a
variety of clinical reports and studies. Individual clinical studies have provided several findings of
interest, such as increased sensitivity to pain and elevated rates of fibromyalgia in veterans with
musculoskeletal symptoms, dyspepsia and persistent diarrhea similar to irritable bowel syndrome in
veterans with gastrointestinal symptoms, abnormal pulmonary function in a subset of veterans with
respiratory symptoms, and verification of rashes and other skin anomalies in veterans with dermatological
symptoms. But overall, objective indicators of disease are often not identified in symptomatic Gulf War
veterans who are referred for specialty evaluations. Clinical reports have also not provided explanations
for identified problems, such as the causes of veterans’ persistent diarrhea or rashes. One study evaluated
Gulf War veteran males and their sexual partners who experienced a painful burning reaction to the
veterans’ seminal fluid, a problem reported by about seven percent of Gulf War veterans. Evaluations
indicated that about 40 percent of the women had a hypersensitivity reaction to the veterans’ seminal
fluid, but provided no explanation for the phenomenon, overall. In general, very limited information is
available on health problems specific to women veterans. Single studies have reported that Gulf War
veteran women report elevated rates of yeast and bladder infections and breast lumps or cysts, but no
results are available from medical evaluations.
Hope this helps.

Semper Fi brothers in arms. I was with Task Force Papa Bear L Co 3/9. If I remember right Hall 15 was where we stayed for 2 days a month after being out in the desert for a month. We'd shower and slept in bunk beds vs those uncomfortable cots. I don't remember any party until we landed at JFK on March 17, 1991 and returned home to Camp Pendleton. Looking for any fellow brothers who served with me. As for the movie " Jarhead", Hollywood did get one thing right, Swofford was a cry baby! The only thing realistic about that movie was the homemade hooch, fighting scorpions, and playing football.

I was in the same unit as your husband, but different platoon. I do know of one other guy from our same company that was diagnosed with Brain Cancer and had surgury.. his name was David Burnett, he stayed in after the gulf war and ended up teaching at fort knox until he got sick. I lost touch with him but this information may help. I also have lots of pictures of our time over there...Most are of my platoon, I was in hq platoon on the blade tank. I believe your husband was in HQ platoon prior to us going overseas..? My name is Michael Bower and my phone number is 203-463-8229, please let me know if there is anything I can do.
