| For those women who served at Fort McClellan Alabama during the WAC years (womens army corps), 1955 to 1978, this article applies to you. On the heels of returning from a 3 day excursion back to the base, I am just now getting my Amtrak legs back and ready to make the entire VA system into the laughing joke of a Moron Squad that they really are. My camera did not fail me, not in the least. I have a handful of stories and collections of photos to bring back for your dishing and contemplation, and let all the Nay Sayers on the Fort McClellan legislation start running for cover as the outted incompetent types that they are truly are as the camera doesn't lie, thank you, and it's lens over Moron Vet brains for those who love to live their delusional lives at the hands of fake rumors or theories from jackass-land on the internet. First up for the victory issues brought back from Fort McClellan, is the outting and confirmation that the former WAC barracks building, was duly noted by an independent EPA review ordered by BRAC itself back in the late 1990's, as having and bearing "asbestos contained materials" [referred to as ACM's in the BRAC report]. Remember those stinking water pipes that ran up and down the ceilings of the barracks? Ceilings, pipes, air vents etc. are common hiding places for asbestos back in the day everybody. I offer up the photos I took of the former WAC barracks, Alpha thru Delta, and then the adjoining building known as Echo Company. There is no mistaking the building number on these photos. I then took that building number and ran it through the base closing report ordered by BRAC and guess what everybody? The VA is a freaking medical malpractice factory and does not know how to investigate anything involving Veterans health issues and the same can be said about DOD. My My What a shock? Yup it's a match. All that needed to be done was to verify the building number to the BRAC report, and HELLO! the true story comes popping out about where the exposure trail begins for all those who were stationed there. Let this send the VA macho boneheads running for cover because I am now holding a letter from BlowHard Central, i.e. newly sworn in Patrick Dunne as the new VA undersecretary for No-Benefits, somehow saying that veterans at Fort McClellan were not exposed to anything. What I put before you now as the plain and simple truth is something that anybody with a brain could have found out --- but didn't. This is all sure to set into motion a stampede of hearings on Capitol Hill for the next and upcoming legislative session. It does for sure set up the premise once and for all to say that women Veterans from Fort McClellan had already suffered initial building exposures BEFORE completing the CS/CN gashouse field maneuvers or before even reaching a privilege level high enough to leave the base for the first time on leaves and passes to indulge in R & R in the downtown district where Monsanto was running it's own airborne contamination story. You can Blah Blah Blah all you want, but there are only 2 pieces of evidence here that nobody can deny or overcome in bullshit rumors and the like: photos and the BRAC report holding the building number in the red flag paragraph noting that the building had ACM's. I hope this brings you rumor mongers to your knees with apologies because I have spent large and busted my rump every which way to compile the research materials that will facilitate our exposure legisation for this next session. You can, among other things, immediately start calling for the resignation or firing of Patrick Dunne at the VA. Everybody got on the bandwagon for the men who suffered asbestos exposure on the ships. Well ----NOW let's all stand back and see what the bandwagon looks like for us girls thank you very much. The last time I checked, we are human too and what differences are there, exactly behind men veterans on a ship and women veterans in a barracks I would love to know ?? None I say so shut up and sit down. I give to you know, the all crucial photos below AND the LINK to the corresponding BRAC report. I will cut and paste the transfer of Page 214 for you below, but here also is the LINK so you can use the FIND feature in the Edit toolbar and then punch in the building number for the former WAC Barracks: 2220. The search feature will automatically take you to Page 214 and then you can read it and weep I say. Everybody DO please now get behind the Fort McClellan Veterans legislation for this next up and coming session at the House Veterans Affairs Committee. Tell these dumb and lazy shitbrains to stop wasting our time with senseless delay and to submit and pass the Bill for a floor vote at the very start of the new session in 2009. Ladies you were exposed to asbestos in some kind of way so start standing up for your rights with us so you can get a 100% pay scale at VA claims. Don't live in poverty and silence when there is an active and verified contamination story here. Get your Vet courage up and start showing the VA the greatest woman-vet Bitchout of all time. Get yer backbone up thank you, and start confronting this pile of crap VA in where your EQUAL disability rights are in this system, because so far, we just haven't seen it anywhere. It's all the boys at every turn and unless we were raped, we have no other story out here. For sure, the men were involved in this too as the report clearly denotes that the barracks was converted to enlisted mens quarters after our Corps was decommissioned. But in history and at this base, it is the WACS who held presence here as the national boot camp facility from 1955 to 1977. This would be the larger population of concern at this building at least for now and that is the story which should be advanced at McClellan. Just from what has now been proven, a lot of other buildings are named as well in this report, but there was no way for me to cram all that in to a limited 3 day tour when I had other places to be for the Band reunion. So let this show and demonstrate to everyone, that the truth is there for anybody with a brain who knows what and where to look for. You have to first care about the issue itself which the VA does NOT.
