Can anyone make a suggestion on how I should proceed........
I finally got copies of my SMRs.
Wanted to file a claim for Feet and Back Injury sustained in April 1969. I have one IMO that states
"more likely than not" but have run into the following problem with my SMR.
My SMRs have no record of anything between when I got out of Basic Training in March 1868 until I
went to sick call due to back complaint in July 1969 at Naval Station San Diego where I
was sent for additional training from my duty station aboard a Destroyer. I had been aboard
the Destroyer all that time.....one year and 4 months.
A friend of mine sent me a copy of an entry to the ship's deck log in January 1969 showing another
injury I had sustained. That entry to the deck log identifies me, the injury and states that I was treated by medical personnel and returned to duty, but no entry in my medical record. I know I had follow up sick calls for the January 1969 injury. I know I had numerous follow up sick calls for the April 1969 injuries. What could have happened to these missing records?
Has anyone ever had a like problem with missing records and if so; what is my best way to address this?
