Something for us all to consider... Remember our
days in the yards? Click on the link.
Wylie Miller writes "There is no mention of the
yard overhauls on two diesel boats back in the 50's when we breathed this
stuff while standing below decks watch or fire watches all over the place
while the yard birds ripped and cut the asbestos from the bulkheads and from
around all the piping...nor is there anything about new construction and
commissioning of the Teddy Roosevelt back in 1960-61. I was never referred to
an Asbestos Surveillance program, but I think that's because the disease
really never got any publicity until the 70's. If there is space-A medical
care available at a Military Treatment Facility near you and you have been
exposed, please get an evaluation as soon as possible. God Bless our
shipmates....."
