    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

Tammy...go to this site...email the webmaster of the site..he may know your husband or he will know how to get in touch with someone who does...or perhaps someone who has knowledge of the incident. He may also be able to point you in the right direction on how to get the reports you are seeking. Also if you go to a local college in your town there maybe someone who speaks German that can write a letter for you to the local authroity at that base at that time that may have records just a thought...here is the web site to go to:

http://www.usarmygermany.com/Units/FieldAr...0Arty%20Bde.htm

I will do some research on people who may have been at that base during the years you seek.

Keep us updated!

That site is what I found too----

very good info there-

one question-I am sure you yourself looked thru the SMRS and found no record of this?

Could the personnel records possibly reveal anything?

DId this aciident cause a change in duty- like light duty -for a period of time-and would that possibly be noted in the personnel file?

Carlie,

Thank you so much for that website and yes I was on here about a year ago and my husband got caught in between two 5 ton trucks and sqeezed up pretty badly. I am am just so upset over how to get the information for eveything and how to work this site.

I did just recently got a new s/c disablity at 30% and and increase from 20% to 40% on his kidney the 30% was mental for chronic adjustment disorder. Thank you for your constructive critism in one of your post regarding my clarity...I will be writing a letter soon when I get the letter completed. Right now I am dealing with the Social Security and they denied my husband. This week we had to put our dog down after being a family member for nearly 17 yrs, he was a Malamute/German Shephard but he was a inside dog so he got to spend the cold days inside and the hot days in aircondioned house, but boy we miss him. We we just so blessed to have him that long but we knew it was time for him to go. although I just can't stop from thinking about him.

anyway I will write more later.

Thank you

Tammy

Hi:

Below is the address where all Military Police; MPI and CID Reports of Investigation are maintained. If your husband was in an accident and injured there will be a corresponding Military Police Report (MPR) with his information as a victim and possibly it might be retrieved as a witness. Have your husband fax the request to the Crime Records Center and they will respond in due course. You CANNOT ask for someone elses law enforcement record, only your own. Frankly it surprises me that the VA didnt think to obtain this information from the MP's on thier own since it would have all the identifiers, sworn statements an accident diagram and all the nice little things I hated to do when I was an MP. Try it they might have the best information in town and it sure beats having to pay for official translations of documents and such. Thanks.

The Freedom of Information Act is a federal statute. FOIA generally provides that any person has a right to request access to federal agency records, except to the extent the records are protected from disclosure by any of nine exemptions contained in the law or by one of three special law enforcement record exclusions. There are several point to keep in mind regarding the FOIA:

Your request must be made in writing and you must provide a "reasonable description" of the records you are seeking.

Agencies have 20 working days to provide an initial response.

Agencies and requesters are encouraged to work together to define the scope of the request and the timing of the response.

Agencies may establish "multi-track" response systems to facilitate the processing of simpler requests, rather than putting all requests in a single "queue."

Making a FOIA Request

These guidelines will help the U.S. Army Crime Records Center respond to your request.

FOIA requests must be made in writing. There are no special forms needed for making a request.

You can mail or fax - but not e-mail - your request.

Write "Freedom of Information Act Request" on the envelope or on the subject line of your fax.

Include a daytime telephone number in case we need to contact you.

Mailing Address:

Director, Crime Records Center

FOIA/PA Division
