I need some help... Anybody here a USAF ground equipment or aircraft
mechanic (B52 preferred) between 1955 to 1985 who can say for sure that the
Technical Orders or Air Force Instruction Manuals specified the use of TCE
(trike, trichcloroethylene), PCE (perc, perchloroethylene,
tetrachrlorethylen) and carbon tetrachloride (carbo tet) solvents during
maintenance procedures? I've got two RVN era vets, one dying of lung cancer
and the other dying of Parkinsons. I need a written statement by someone
who would have knowledge of the same job they did who can swear they used
those solvents doing maintenance tasks and that they were specified in the
manuals. (I'm trying to run down a copy of the TOs but they're hard to
find, secret, outdated, etc, and I don't know how long my guys have). Can
anybody help me out?
What does this have to do with GMCs? If somebody (or somebodies) can help
me out with what I need, and I win either one of these cases, I'll use the
fees I make on either of these cases specifically for the Barn Queen, and
can FINALLY get her from Florida to Mississippi.

So I lleft the Department of Veterans Affairs where I worked a claims
adjudicator last year. I worked a 40 hour week, and had weekens and
holidays off. I also had a bureaucracy that was killing me inside
I left a year and a half ago to come to work for a large law firm that
decided they wanted into the Veterans Benefits arena. I was given 400 cases
to work through and figure out what was takeable, and then given more and
more cases. I've probably gone through a thousand cases and currently have
about 200 that I've taken and am representing at various stages of the
Veterans Affairs process.
I am working 60=70 hour weeks, usually working weekends. I had to move from
MS to FL and am living in a downtown apartment. My Catalina is in Little
Rock being restored, but mostly just there because I have nowhere for it.
The RVs are in MS still; somehow, I seem to have lost the keys to both of
them. I know that's an easy problem to fix.
I don't have much time or money, but I am way WAY happier. My cases are
starting to win, like the guy I got almost 200k for his ALS, and some
widow's that I have assisted. The money will come, and once I get some
money and can increase my staffing, I can get some time to pull wrenches
myself, or have one or more pros like JimB (not far away from
Jacksonville!) to take care of it.
I have just been soooo busy, because I walked away from a guaranteed
job-for-life (who gets that anymore???) with a pension and retirement, so I
absolutely must must MUST "make this happen." Failure is not an option. So
I have done nothing but work, work, and work some more. The money hasn't
happened yet... but it will. It HAS to.
Here is where somebody here could help me out... if you've got access to
the Air Force manuals that specify the use of these chemicals between 1955
and 1985, or if you can at least swear in a written statement that you did
that type of work and that the manuals called for it, I've got a darn good
chance of winning these two guys some benefits. If I win either case, I
promise I will use all the proceeds from my commission towards my GMC
project, and that there WILL be video. Right now, in my current situation,
I can't justify the expense or the time... but if I wind up with a five or
ten thousand dollar fee, I can make some things happen with that.
