Going on 4 months now, waiting for military service records and military in-service medical records. Not me, but two vets I know. Out of sheer desperation (knowing it's a no) I wonder if anyone has obtained these records in person?

I know the idea is ridiculous because just locating the records out of boxes somewhere probably takes a lot of time.
