  1. Very interesting that you mentioned this and coming from COB Adder/Tallil. I was there as a medic from 2008-2009 and was assigned to the hospital there, in the year that I was there, we had at least 5 documented cases of Testicular cancer in young males under the age of 25 that was diagnosed while at Tallil. Upon diagnosis, they were transfered back to the States for further evaluations and treatment. I am currently returning from an additional deployment from Iraq/Kuwait 2011-2012 and trying to Demob here at Ft Hood. Going thru medical screening here is a joke. There is no compassion or interest in what possibly could have occurred or exposed to while in theater. They process you like a herd of cattle, and the only medical test they are interested in, is an HIV Blood draw. Anything else of question is to be dealt with at a VA Hospital upon your return to indiivdual States. When I questioned why Soldiers were not questioned further about health concerns or additional testing for hazard exposures, I was viewed as threat and immediatly sent to behavior health for an attitude adjustment. Well, I am still here and demanded that my questions and requests for further testing be granted. I have now been assigned a case manager and was tested for all hazard exposures to include heavy metals and vitamin levels and mineral values. I am still here waiting for results which may take a week. No one wants to take responsibilty for their decisions or actions for all Soldiers who have had multiple tours in theater. Yet, we are coming home sick and discouraged. VA Hospitals are overwhelmed and we are now being forced at out processing to fill out VA Forms stating that we are willing to pay a $50.00 co-pay everytime we need to seek an appointment with the VA Hospital since we do not have an established service connected disability upon return from combat, we can start the paperwork here for processing, but they have already advised it could take up to 12 months for any type of consideration for approval or denial of said claims. It's forcing the Soldiers to just give up and become sheeple and don't rock the boat, go home to your families and don't ask questions. It willnbe interesting to see if or what comes back for the blood work and Urinalysis and what the Military's plan will be to deal with on any potentail issues. OIF 2008-2009 OND 2011-2011

  4. After posting a note under Dinar rumor, I just found this conversation taking place, and will add what I already stated on previous comments..... I was deployed to Iraq at Camp Adder/Tallil 2008-2009, received my stimulas check in Oct 2008 for the $500.00 and took into our Military Finance Office, they cashed it and asked if I wanted US Dollars or Iraqi Dinars, all Iraqi vendors are now suppose to be paid in Dinars to support their economy vs US Dollar. I replied that I wanted it all in Iraqi Dinar, so $1.00 US at $1140 IQD and received over $600,000.00 Dinars and no questions asked. I shipped home Jan 2009 with all this money and was not questioned by two seperate US Customs check while in Iraq/Kuwait/US Heading back for 2nd deployment, may have to take it back with me to cash out at local banks/finance offices for Military.

  5. Thanks for the wonderful replies........but just want you all to know.....that I actually took several for the team.....how do you think I got the info out of the Secret Service? SSG Lxxxx 29th CAB
  6. I would like to add my two cents in then......I am currently in the Military located near DC area, and am dating a gentleman in the Secret Service, assigned to the Pres Detail, he advised me back in 2006 that I need to get into the Dinar currency and hold till such a time to cash in. He told me that **** Chaney, Donald Rumsfield and GEN Powell had dumped thousands of dollars of their own money into the Dinar. A lot of the USSS have also obtained the Dinar and getting their families involved. I just came back from my first tour in Iraq, in Jan 2009, Military Finance was selling the Dinar at the local finance Office to encourage the Soldiers to make local purchases from the Iraqi's with the Dinar vs US Currency to support their own economy. When I received the US Stimulas check of $500.00 in Oct 2008, I went to my finance office and cashed it in and they gave me all Iraqi Dinars at $1.00 to $1140. IQD.....no questions asked. I brought home over $600,000.00 Iraqi Dinars with no problems. I will be heading back over to Iraq for a 2nd Deployment within the year, I may be taking back all my Currency and exchanging when the time comes thru the local banks personally. Take it for what its worth...... SSG L-xxxxxx 29th Combat Aviation Brigade APG, MD 21010
