I am 21 year ret army vet . while on active duty in 1976/77 I slipped climbing down off an armored vehicle and injured both legs in the shin bone area. No bones were broken but it took the skin off were it bled and left scars. Through the years it would frequently loose the covering skin. It eventually left large discolored scars that is embarrassing when I wear shorts. My problem is I've been through my medical records with a fine tooth comb and cannot find any treatment records in my SMR nowhere. The only thing in my records is the scars and their measurements are listed on my retirement physical in 1994 by the army doctor that did the physical and that's it. My question is how can I prove this took place while on duty and should be service connected without any medical treatment records. The only thing I do have is the entrance physical were they were not there and the retirement physical were they are listed in detail. Can I file a claim with that small amount of medical records? thank you
