I was on 2 different US Navy destroyers during the Vietnam War but we never were involved with Agent Orange to my knowledge. The following links may help vets and family that were affected by Agent Orange.

There has been proved that there was Agent White, purple, orange Silvex, Most of this was trials- Agent Orange if you check was used mainly in the Iron Triangle with the Infantry units were in a fire fight most after. We would be in the jungle-same clothes for 2 weeks and was soaks with agent Orange.

My brother said the same thing - in the jungle for a couple of weeks at a time - no changing - no tooth brushing - jungle rot, shrapnel, etc. And all of those chemicals had to be all over you.
