Default US Army Korea 68-69 Camp Hovey 1/32 Inf

Looking for anyone who might be able to help me who was stationed in Korea in 68-69 at Camp Hovey. I was in the 7th division 1/32 inf Co. A . We did time on the DMZ during the tour and were exposed to Agent Orange and I am looking for anyone who might help me establish this fact or have any info pretaining to illnesses from AO that they might have developed, particularly hearing problems.
If anyone knows how I would be able to obtain military records that would have information about where the 1/32 inf was and what duties they had would help also. Thanks.

If you were attached to one of the following units diring the specified time you are entitled to presumption of exposure and you don't need to prove it. Your records will speak for themselves as to what units you served with. There is no known connection between AO and hearing.

DoD has confirmed that Agent Orange was used from April 1968 up through July 1969 along the DMZ

No one was using Agent orange before the early 60's. That won't play in Peoria.
