PNH and military separation

Hi everyone,

My name is David and I was diagnosed with PNH last October. I can no longer serve in the military with PNH and am in the separation process from the USMC Reserve.

My doctor believes that it is very likely to have come from military service and has written a statement regarding that. When at Courthouse Bay, Camp Lejeune I dug up a degraded barrel of unknown chemical (that was marked very similar to drums containing Agent Orange) and I believe that is what caused it. The other Marines that were with me at that time and also dug up the drum now have health issues as well.

Because this happened a few years ago and there was no apparent record of us digging up the barrel I am being told that there is no service connection.

Has anyone else gone through the medical separation process that could offer any insight?

Thank you ahead of time,

David
