How would a Veteran get his (copys) of his service records or prove they were destroyed in the St Louis Fire in 73?
veteran ETS in Feb 72..but as no sign or sight of his STR'S or any Service Records from different Duty Stations?
His C-file is Practically empty just a few where he went to his VAMC for general health care.
no records can he find where he was station at during his military service
Aug 3 1969 to Feb 4 1972 Duty stations Fort Bliss Tx (Basic Training)
Aberdeen Maryland Aberdeen Proving Grounds (AIT)
517TH Heavy Equipment Transportation unit (no longer exist) AS OF 1988
Schwetzingen Germany 1970
HHC Saigon Support Command APO? RVN (Vietnam) unit no longer exist) annulled in 1975 TMP
How Would Veteran find his service records? when NRPC SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND THEM? (RECORDS NOT FOUND)
Its like he never went into the military however he has his DD214 BUT NOT ALL DUTY STATIONS IS ON IT.

One thing you can try is work the outfit that did exist and was later deactivated. Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean that it did't once. Trace back and find out where the records were tra

If the veterans records were burned in the fire; I am not sure I believe it; does he not have a presumption of service connection since there are no records? I know what the answer is but I would hop
