I recently found clinical documentation on the Toxic effects of The Camp Lejeune water issue. Stating that the chemicals in the water TCE and PCE caused neurobehavioral issues among the soldiers that caused them to get discharged with bad paper. Which makes me question the mindset of the decision making back then in the 70's by NCO's and Officers since they also drank the same water and ate the food prepared with the water from the mess halls. Everybody stationed on base was affected by the toxicity. Here is part of the clinical study done on the toxins from Camp Lejeune: Neurobehavioral effects are conditions that have to do with the way the brain communicates with the nervous system, according to the National Institutes of Health. These effects can manifest as behavioral, emotional, physical or learning problems. Brain injury, illness or exposure to toxins - such as the chemicals in contaminated water from Camp Lejeune - can cause neurobehavioral effects. The symptoms of neurobehavioral effects depend on how much damage the brain has sustained. People with neurobehavioral effects typically report experiencing changes in mood, personality, attention and memory. Other neurological effects manifest as motor dysfunction, including coordination or balance problems. Certain chemicals can seriously affect the part of the brain that controls motor function and cause tremors, ticks and even Parkinson’s disease. Symptoms of neurological effects include: Anxiety Changes in mood or personality Confusion Depression Dizziness Fatigue Headaches Insomnia Involuntary muscle movements (dystonia or dyskinesia) Irritability Learning disorders Memory problems Motor problems (balance, coordination, etc.) Parkinson’s disease Poor concentration Tension Tremors Neurobehavioral effects from exposure to toxic chemicals may last anywhere from a few minutes to several years. Mild effects from low levels of chemicals and short exposures may be reversible, but severe damage from long-term chronic exposure to high levels of chemicals may be permanent. I was discharged with Bad Paper on numerous charges of disrespect, not following orders, not standing at attention, not picking up cigarette butts, etc. was sent for a psych eval and was diagnosed back in May 1974 with Mood Depression Psychosis, yet was kicked out for the Good of the service UD discharge, and labeled a recidivist. All because I was under the toxic influence of the water. Also the NCO's and Officers making decisions while under the same influence. Opening up a big can of worms now 48 years later. Back then the Doctors did not know nothing about the toxicity causing all the problems with Marines. i know that in my company at least 30-40 Marines were kicked out the same way, behavioral issues. This is all readily available information on the internet now. You should make a video on this issue to help us all out.
For those with a DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE, with more than one enlistment 2, 3, 4 or 5 ect the VA will do a determination of your full service. For VA benefits ONLY in most cases the VA will honor your good time for VA entitlements. But will not count your DD period. So, ask the VA for a determination of service if you had more than one enlistment. You may even get 100% with a final enlistment that was rated DD.
No...if you're an Re-4..it will never happen..my nephew hired a lawyer and it took him one year to get a review...he was denied ...no chance...forget it..move on.
I served in the navy from 81 to 91 I completed my time and received a re4 I didn't make rank well in 1992 I was able to enlist in the army national guard in Texas with a waiver and I served 11 years and retired with a penison
I received an RE4 code due to hepatitis c diagnosed while in bootcamp in 2000. I was cured in 2014. The Navy now allows enlistment of people with a Hep C history as long as they can show treatment records that shows the person is cured. I submitted a DD149 about 2 weeks ago. Does anyone know how long it might take for mycase to be reviewed?
I applied 3 times in 48 years and was denied 3 times. I applied again just the other day after finding out about the effects from the toxic water. We were "Toxic Induced Zombies" on base with neurological issues that was not diagnosed at the time as the cause of all the violence, rapes, murders, fights and racial tensions on base. Everybody had some kind of issue mentally among all ranks including officers. i know that at that time marines from Vietnam were cycling out of the Corps, all short timers, yet the marine corps was trying to clean up with all the morphine junkies with a broad range of issues to kick them out with Bad Discharges at a very high rate. The water toxicity was the main culprit for a lot of us Marines who were stationed there. I was there 3 years on base. saw a lot of craziness daily. My medical records show complaints by me for Insomnia, dizziness, headaches, abdominal cramps, blood in urine, etc. doctors at sick bay had no clue back then when trying to treat us. I provided all that evidence this time to th BCNR with the Clinical Studies, hopefully this time I get justice. I have now nodules on my lungs, enlarged spleen, sclerosis of the liver, 20% lung capacity, persistent cough for the last 15 years. The VA has yet to treat me, because of my bad paper, but I spoke with them recently about the evidence and hopefully that will also change my status for disability and treatment. Still in the trenches fighting for justice.
I notice you guys don't respond to any questions. Are you just doing this for the likes and views for the monetary value of youtube? no response shows disrespect to Veterans questions!
