If you did, have you experienced any strange health problems? I haven't felt right since I came back in Dec. 1986.

6. Do you know what kind of symptoms he had?
I started having problems that usually older men would have. Things my family had no history of.

Last year I talked to some of the guys I served with and they had had some problems too. Some days I feel like I'm 100 yrs old. The older I get those days happen more and more often. I guess I am getting older and that can account for some of it. But, I started feeling like this when I got back and I was 26.

I thought it was just me but, my friend Bub and his family came to visit me last summer and he had some of the same problems. Not alot I can do about it, I was just curious if anyone else that served during that time had any problems.
