Comment:  Prior post was the aviators frustration -- here is the missile community view.

The VA will go on a case by case basis and look at any veteran's situation.

VA Public Health Missile Community

Quote:

Members of the Missile Community - the Veterans and Service members who staff the   Air Force missile silo facilities across the United States  - are vital to the safety and security of our Nation, and VA is committed to investigating the potential exposure-related health impacts of their deployments. Veterans and service members voiced concerns about adverse health effects that they believe are related to environmental exposures at the missile silos, specifically increased risks of cancers, including non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Currently, research remains inconclusive as to whether working at missile facilities poses increased risk of cancers.
