Where can I locate an individual’s service record?

I used to be chairman of a non profit and am still very close with all those who are currently on the board. One of those persons was supposedly a Col and claims he was recently promoted to Brig Gen.

A number of red flags have come up and after some cursory digging, we can’t find a thing on this including a listing in the Army global email System. The folks currently in the board of directors and I are very concerned that this is a case of stolen valor. However, they want to be 110% certain before taking action on it. Any suggestions of where to service history would be appreciated

I think SGT Ben Keen may be able to point you in the right direction on this.

anyone with access to the HRC website could do a search for him in U.S. Army White Pages if they had his name. wouldn't be 110% but if he's still active he should be in there. I just did a test run using my own name and 4 "Bruce Burch" showed up. 2 PFCs one retired and 2 LTCs one retired. If you had a middle initial it narrows it down to just me.

Everyone is chomping at the bit, because if we had a name we'd all click on our AKO link or the army white pages and it would be confirmed in seconds.
