 My name is Eddie, Johnny. I'm a U.S. Navy sailor from 1961 to 1964. I did a tour in Vietnam from August of 1964 to December of 1964. My total time in the Navy was three and a half years. It's to the point where you work on aircraft so long you would spell things and at night you couldn't see it so you literally tasted it. You know it wasn't the thing to do but you was a young kid out there 18, 19 years. So you would taste the the matter and say oh it tastes like fuel because we fuel it tastes like hydraulic it's a hydraulic leak you know but the planes sort of smell if I remember right I know you smell a difference. They had the kind of like the kerosene effect but we didn't know what it was you know because I had never been exposed to Agent Orange before or in fact I didn't know what Agent Orange was until after I got out of service. We was on the ship we made our water we drank the water used all the water you know for bathing and cooking and washing. We got our mail from when the plane came in uh the planes came a lot of planes came in from the day on mail run you know and the mail bag was inland and probably got carried some of the Agent Orange stuff on us. I know if we took the bag the cops they wouldn't want to be messing with it you know
