I can't over emphasize how important it is to obtain a good advocate before you start the process. I did not realize this but luck was with me and I am now receiving 100%. All my thanks go to my advocate who guided me and chased paperwork, a good man who I can never repay. Exposure to toxins was a hazard all branches of the service faced. If you look at the guide lines the VA is supposed to follow, it is presumed that anyone in the combat zone has been exposed. This includes all Navy personnel as well. Don't let them give you the run around, fight back. If you are not getting anywhere with your advocate, I would suggest making a change. Anyone who can, please participate in the upcoming rally in Washington. Even if you cannot be there any help you could give I am sure would be appreciated. Jim
