PACT Act presumptives
Many soldiers in this job deployed to Southwest Asia or the post-9/11 theater. Under the PACT Act, the presumption is based on where and when you served, not on your job title, and holding this job does not by itself mean you have a presumptive condition.
See the full PACT Act burn pit list and locations and the Gulf War Illness page.
Which conditions fit you, how they combine, and what they rate together depends on your full record: every job you held, your bases, ships and aircraft.
