This is in response to my now 1.5 year battle to obtain the records from my glorious career in the US Navy.

A short aside here. I served on the USS Iowa. It blew up. The Navy covered up the blow up and blamed a dead gay man........ Who was not gay. In the mean time we deployed to points east. Lebanon? No idea. Kind of was there, You know kind of. "We kind of "supported" some other peeps with their affairs", Kind of.

Years later the blow up was determined to be,,, command incompetence, circa 1951 gun powders stored at over 90 degrees and illegal experimentation on 16" guns.

Subsequently it has probably been the most privately litigated ship in the history of the Navy. More than a few negligence cases have been shot down by the US Supreme Court. (Hacks and Lechers all members) and the Navy has had to formally apologize to a few families in addition to over a million USD in cash settlement.

To clue you in on some of the retarded Navy behaviour in the 90's. Parents of a deceased crew member (Age 19) were given literature inviting....specifically their son, to join the Navy Reserves. True Navy form there.

I could give a f*ck less. I have not given a f*ck since 1989. However, I am now four plus pissed off. THESE MOTHERf*ckERS LOCKED MY ENTIRE PERSONNEL FILE!!!!

I got my medical records. Some injuries there. Blown knees, f'd up shoulder. But the big thing is all the other shit I was exposed to. Radiation and asbestos on my first ship, countless ship board fires fought, the entire f*ck job that the USS Iowa was.

Not even sure where this damned post goes. Anger? Helplessness? The cock sucking dick f*cks area? Which should be a sub-area under anger.

Man....oh to have a small nuclear arsenal. I think I'm going to call my shrink tomorrow and call him a "f*cking asshole". I got some cards from some Veterans advocates as well. Think I'll call those double dipping f*cktards a few choice words as well.

I guess a question here is "What to do?". Time is ticking on my appeal and these f*ckers are stonewalling me into overtime.

Hi Wagon, the FOIA was BS from day one. I tried for years to substantiate a claim and needed to get the report on an accident in Nam. They danced and danced but still no answers. Eventually a fellow vet who knows how to use the system managed to get the DD1300 casualty report. As usual they will show you nothing that will put themselves in a poor light. They DO NOT EAT THEIR OWN!

The old adage "it's their cookie factory and all we do is put in the chocolate chips" say's alot about these bureaucrats.

VA attorneys are all over the place. The site below has quite a few and a lot of information on claims and the like.

Good Luck brother,

Thanks Brother, I think I definitely need a mouth piece now. Was hoping to avoid it but now I need reinforcements.

I managed to NOT call my shrink and call him an asshole. But still may...just to vent. Bullet dodging bastards.

Peace
