Question
Buck52
what does the DOD / or military personal in charge of veterans service records..what and where do they send them?
Most prior Vietnam Veterans that were there before the fall of Saigon of 75, in the late 60's to early 70's for some of us the unit we were in has disapated and no longer exist According to ( Google Search) I put in my unit name Battillon AP0# and they can't seem to find any records...OK I called NPRC (Archives) St Louis they said ARB has all my Records. NRPC Lady says they have them because I have a claim in . I said butI don't have a claim in I already have my claim decided back in 2015 Then she kinda got hissy fit with me we don't have your records and said she is disconnecting this call now conversation over. eh!
My old unit in Germany no longer exist either according to google search. but I was there for 10 months just south of Mannheim Germany & just outside Heidelberg Germany in Tompkins Barracks but I was there eh!
Here is a link of the closing of Tompkins Barracks/where I was station about 46 /47 years ago.

ARB (Army Review Board of military records correction) Contacted me and said they don't have any of my Service Records to make a correction on my 214..AND DENIED MY CORRECTION..I have one Year to submit more records of evidence with the dates that are correct.
So how else can a Veteran that needs his complete military service records get them?
My reason for asking is I am trying to get my DD-214 Corrected b/c of the service dates are incorrect and they don't show my Germany service on it..only Vietnam Service but the dates are wrong on that too.
I have been fighting with the ARB (Army Review Board of corrections military Records) in Arlington Va
I sent them old unit records/ TDY Travel Orders and any records I had to support my correction.
I seem to have lost my Orders after Basic Training and AIT but I wrote ARB a letter in detail the dates I was in basic and where and the dates from AIT and where &as close to the dates and where for Germany & Vietnam...Well that's not good enough either ARB says they need Military unit Records...I don't have any and can't seem to get any.??
I even sent what records I had that I used in my PTSD Claim Mostly Vietnam Records...they are not good enough either b/c the dates where actually when I was in Vietnam and not my ETS from Nam that's the dates I need because I extended my tour longer than the required 12 months of Vietnam Duty.
Any help from anyone would be appreciated.
