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

Buck - your friend should request his DD-215. If he served 3yrs, he should have 3 stars on his VSM, should also have one hash mark for his 3yr hitch and 3 overseas bars for his 18 months in VN.

As to his stressor, if he can't remember the date(s), he should start with the Corps (not USMC)probably MACV, After Action reports, which will show events happening within the Corps area, during that period. Then he can narrow it down to locations and units. jmo
