First, I would recommend removing the first image and replacing it with one where your personal information is redacted or masked out. The last thing you want is to get your identity stolen.

Next, it is always better to post questions like this publicly in a topic. If it is posted on my profile, it would only be seen by myself and any forum members who manually view my profile. There are a lot of members who have much more experience than I do and can also offer additional advice.

When I got out in 1995, I kept originals of everything, even counseling statements (my units did those quarterly regardless of potentially being good or bad). Because I worked in HQ, I knew that a most of what was stored in my unit personnel folder would be shredded a few months after I left while some were sent to Army HQ for later archiving. Things like security clearances would be purged after five years on average.

Those counseling notes can be helpful if you can send the VA copies of them. Never send them originals. Any idea why your records disappeared?

That might be adequate. You are are pretty lucky to get a VA psych doc to write up a nexus of any sort. Most of the VA docs have told me they were not allowed.
