I just recently learned that during the Viet Nam war I was exposed to Agent Orange. I had always known that those that served in-country were exposed. Agent Orange was also sprayed around the perimeters of the Royal Thai Air Force bases where US Airforce members served. Servicemen that had duties on or near the perimeters were exposed to AO. From Dec '66 to Dec '67 I served as an aircraft weapons specialist at Udorn RTAFB. Our flightline was near the perimeter. Also, our arm/dearm area was at the end of the runway, very near the perimeter. I was in the exposure area almost on a daily basis.
AO was also used in the DMZ zone in Korea in that time period. Also possibly effected were the air crews on the C-123, as many of these planes were contaminated.
