I was a member of V-1 Division and remember the many many hours at flight quarters. I guess I was exposed to as much radiation as anyone , but up to now , I have been quite healthy. No health problems at all.
I remember Col. Pope as air officer and Maj Joe Price as flight deck officer , followed
by Navy Lt. Starbuck.
I also recall the beach party on the beach on Johnston. I went the first
day for r and r, and on the second day, I went as MP. The officer in charge told me that I should relax and enjoy the day. I did and everybody had a good time with a total absence of trouble.
I hope that I never have a need to seek help , but it's good to know that there is a source.
