I was the missile systems officer on the Wilson. This past March I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. I filled for disability then. It's been over six months and have heard nothing.

For all of you that had to suck in the tear gas/nerve agent dropped on the Mayaguez as the Holt was pulling alongside, I was the leader of the 2nd element of A-7 fighters that gassed the ship. Sorry guys, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I was in HC-1 Det-3 aboard the uss coral sea. I dropped 10 marines down on the Mayuguez one at a time, down the hoist in a SH-3G helicopter. We hovered for almost 45 minutes above the large container ship as the marines did there sweep. I then pulled the Captain and XO of the Mayuguez up the hoist and brought them aboard the helicopter and flew them back to the Uss Coral sea cva-43.

For Dan Furlong; The minimum VA disability rating for Parkinson's disease is 30%. However, you must consider other important factors that can increase this rating to 100%. While you may be awarded 30%, that rating alone may be incomplete. The 30% rating is the starting point. You need to follow-up w/ the VA and ask the status of your disability submittal. I was rated (4) times. Average wait time was 6 months. Stay Blessed~! Jim "Heavy" Hoey
