Where to find records of a Marine Helo Crash

Rate this question

Question

Hello all,

Q: Is there somewhere besides the JSRRC that would keep Marine Corps helicopter accident records.

I was diagnosed (by the VA) with PTSD related to a helicopter accident that I was in in the late 80's.  I prepared and submitted a PTSD claim that includes details of the accident as well as a buddy statement from someone involved in the investigation of the accident.  In my claim I requested assistance from the VA in checking the JSRRC for the related records to prove the accident and my involvement as I did not have the date of the incident.  I requested that the VA (and JSRRC) look in 60 day increments during the 1986-1987 years. They denied my claim because they stated they could not locate the incident.  Thanks for any and all assistance.  Mike

You were in the Crotch, the Unit Daily Report has the incident. Did you go to sickbay?

Post a redacted copy of the "Buddy Letter." If he was involved in the investigation, he had to have mentioned something more precise than between 1986-1987.
