I'm currently over here in Bagram Air Force base, and I could tell right away something was wrong. it wasn't just the dryness and/or dust, my nose has been bleeding since I arrived, I can't seem to stop sneezing and my pleghm is an unhealthy color. These are just the short term effects-it's the long term effects I am worried about. I'm trying to see if I can get approval (and for others) to wear a RZ neoprone Air Purifier mask that will filter out the P particulates. Not sure if I should run the chit up the COC or just wear it-it's a natural colored one. Why isn't the military doing more to protect it's military members? Just telling them they will get disability upon return is pitiful in my book. You can't measure health in dollars.
