Find Unit Records?

[Buck52]

How would a veteran go about finding his in-service records from Vietnam that showed what he did, for instance he did not do his MOS but was assign to another type job, how would he prove this?

And was still with this same unit, Would those records show what he did ? or keep him at his MOS Although that's not what he was assign to.

Would he contact St Louis NRSP and see what the records show/? were trying to find out how to prove what he did in Vietnam.

He has old record of in-country travel orders that had to be renewed every 60 days & Sign off by his CO

This was his new assignment Recovery of US Disable Vehicle's from the field/ mechanical failure or demolished from acts of war.

Thanks in Advance

Go to this web site. Make sure you request ALL military records as the 2-1's will show every where you have been and for how long.

Yes the info could well be in his Personnel File ( 201 file for Navy/Marines)

His unit might surely have a web site as well.

Is this to support a stressor or an inservice injury?

[Buck52]

Yes it is Ms Berta

And he was US Army Special Operations /Operation Branch.

The fire in 1973 destroyed the records of some WW II vets not anyone else.
