Asbestos-containing products and equipment were widely used across every branch of the military between 1930 and the late 1970s. 2. 44% of all Sokolove Law mesothelioma cases are U.S. Veterans – representing nearly every state in the U.S. 3. Symptoms of mesothelioma can take 20-50 years to appear. 4. An estimated $30 Billion in court-ordered trusts has been set aside to provide funds for victims and families. 5. Pursuing an asbestos legal claim does not affect VA LiiwÌÃÀ pensions. We bring claims against the manufacturers – not the U.S. government or military. Most mesothelioma claims are settled out of court, easing the stress and burden on families.

Also, one of my most enjoyable activities at these changes of command is talking to the young squadron members in the squadron lounge and swapping stories. As mentioned in the last Invader, the board agreed to postpone the reunion to Spring 2022. Bob Parks thinks the early-mid April time frame would be best weatherwise, and before conficts with school graduations. We want to be able to attend a basic training graduation at Lackland AFB and those are held every third week. San Antonio’s “Fiesta Days” when hotel rates would spike, are usually held in April, so Bob needs to get frm dates on those events before frming up and recommending a reunion date to the board. We are still hopeful that a B-2 fy over can be arranged for the BMT graduation with our Bob Koehne association being recognized in the bleachers. Welcome to our 2021 Spring Invader. I know it’s I would like to note the recent passing of two running somewhat late, but I had asked Don to hold association members. Don Kassen was remembered off because of the pending 13th Bomb Squadron in our Winter Invader issue.

    United States General Accounting Office Briefing Report to the Chairman, GAO Committee on National Security, House of Representatives March 1996 MILITARY READINESS Data and Trends for January 1990 to March 1995 GOA years 1921 - 1996 GAO/NSIAD-96-111BR United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-271209 March 4, 1996 The Honorable Floyd Spence Chairman, Committee on National Security House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: As you requested, this report is an unclassified version of our earlier classified report on military readiness. We analyzed military readiness data contained in the Department of Defense’s (DOD) Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) to determine if the data showed significant changes in readiness since 1990—a year of peak readiness. This report provides readiness information for the four military services. Specifically, it (1) summarizes the reported overall readiness status of all military units from January 1, 1990, to March 31, 1995; (2) assesses readiness trends of selected units from each service for the same period, and, where applicable, discusses reported readiness problems experienced throughout a service and by the selected units; and (3) explains significant changes in reported readiness of the selected units. On August 31, 1995, we briefed the Subcommittee on Military Readiness, House Committee on National Security, staff on the results of our work. This report summarizes the information we presented in that briefing.
