Phillip G. Chapman was a 29-year-old Marine Corps helicopter pilot who had flown combat missions over the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm. " Deepening her pain: The Chapmans had a 3-year-old son, Sean. "That was the worst day of my life," said his widow, Theresa Chapman, a Marina resident who still struggles to discuss the tragedy more than two decades later. He and three other Gulf War veterans were killed. "I think I realized what had happened as soon as I looked through my peephole and saw his (commanding officer) and another member of his squadron standing outside my door. He was home from the war for less than four months, stationed at Camp Pendleton, when his Huey helicopter had a mechanical failure and crashed on Oct. It was a routine training mission that killed him. '" she said.Source: Monterey County Herald

I'm writing a novel where the protagonist is a former Marine who served during Desert Storm. Known individuals in terms of deployment will help me tremendously. Thank you.
They were there before you start and were in the first major battle Kafji. They were there until the end of the war. Those who arrived first were on ships and would have had an assessment before deployment and 6 months at sea

Anyone heard of Marine Recons from the Persian Gulf war 1990-1991 having all kinds of hearing, digestive and seeing problems? My boyfriend is a veteran from that war, and he has ongoing physical health problems (let's not talk about his mental ones!)
Some of it's just him getting older, but anyone around a lot of gun fire and explosions will experience some hearing loss. Any man around a woman long will as well. It keeps us outta trouble with the "does this make me look fat" question
