Request for Military Records

13.5K

This is directed to Veterans.
I submitted a request for copies of my 201 file, DD214 and all my Military Awards on May 2014.
Through the NPRC at St Louis, MO.

I was wondering if any Veteran here did the same.
My question is about how long did it take you to receive your request?

Thanks

This link may get you going in the right direction MAJ Michael Bui It gives all the ST Lois addresses on the page for each branch. I just did it myself. If you do it on line you still have to fax/mail a signature verification card before the process starts. It says to allow 90 days for processing.
