Active duty medical records-where else can I search?

[allansc2005]

I've done the "standard" searches for a veteran's medical records, St Louis, VA hospitals....with no results.

He came into the army in 1974, so he missed the big fire in St Louis, his C file came MINUS active duty medical records.

So where else is there to search?

Did he try the NARA site Allan?

He needs to file out the SF 180 on line, then print off the bar coded thing, copy it, sign it and then be careful to mail it to the right place, as explained with the SF 180 form.They will then associate the bad coded signature thing with the online SF 180 he filled out.

(unless this all  has changed...others will know here)

He should request all inservice medical records and his 201 Personnel File as well.

He can click on the Military records button on the site:

It took me a few months to get my husband's Navy records, but they also sent me a letter to advise the VARO had his USMC SMRs and 201 file. That is where the Marine Corps records  were supposed to be, as the claim I had depended on them and not Navy stuff..

Yes Berta, that's the first place we looked; I/we did all the standard searches for the medical records.

The only other place I can think of is finding the medical records on the old microfiche system somewhere.
