 I believe you will get your answer by going to:
http://www.rpadden.com/docs/rsrchlinks.htm
Click on the second link-"Military Records from US Gov"
When the page opens, click on the link "Military Records Request (SF180).
Follow the instructions.
I have not sent in the form yet, but downloaded it a few moments ago to see how it works.
Good luck in your search.
I started the project in October 2001, not knowing anything about my Dad's service. With a limited amount of information I was able to track most of it down.
I've contacted a number of his boot mates and as of last night have found 9 men he served with on the Neshoba that are still alive. Two of them remember him as does one of his boot mates. I've also found a man he served with on the Mt. McKinley AGC7-pictures of them in Hawaii in 1945 are on the site.
If I can help you with your search, let me know.
