I am trying to join the Army, but I have been treated for mild ADHD, and Depression in the past. I’m supposed to get my medical records to see if I can still join. How should I go about doing that?

I know what I’m signing into, please don’t fill the answers with anti-military crap.

Also is it posible to get military records of my father’s stepfather, who is also deceased?
The title should have read “Where to find military records (WW2) of deceased grandfather?”

Melanie R asked:
I was in the Army and got out 2003. I became a dependent, and at that time the clinic I was assigned to on Fort Bragg changed, and also a new folder was made for my medical records. I had maybe 4 or 5 appointments at my husband clinic that I was assigned to. My doctor wanted to have my active duty records transferred to the clinic where I was then assigned to. So that was done, during one appointment was signed out by the same doctor, and of course they remained at the clinic. Remember now I got out of active duty in 2003. So I was lazy about starting my disability claim, after it was denied when I got out. My husband got out of the Army in 2004, so at that point I was in school, trying to focus on him being home from Iraq. In 2005 I finally refiled my disability claim. I had a few issues while I was in, I really didn’t see why my claim was denied in the first place. I even had surgery too…imagine that. So I got a letter back from VA stating that my records couldn’t be located. So I did a request for the location of my records in St.Louis. Received another stating that my records weren’t there either. So by then I knew something was wrong. So then we rolled into 2006. I went to the last clinic on Bragg that I was assigned. The records were being prepared to be sent to St.Louis. I asked about my husband records, his were still at the clinic too.Now too me that seem a little delayed being that I had been out 3 years and he had been 2 years. So when she checked my records that were being sent, the file was only my dependent file. Come to find out my active duty file was nowhere to be found. I called Womack hospital, Robeson and Joel clinic on Bragg…nothing. I called IG, no luck, I called different personnel in the Records dept on Bragg, no luck either. I’ve called VA numerous times, ridiculous what they say to you. I am just stuck, My body has been jacked up ever since I was in the military and had surgery, and honestly some other things are wrong as well. I just don’t know what to do at this point. I need some help. Please if someone has some advice…

Until fairly recently, the general public was able to decide who they allowed to run credit and criminal record checks on themselves. Modern technology has, unfortunately, changed this. State court records are considered public records in many instances, and many states have now made it incredibly simple to find out the details of most court cases. Public records are now available via the internet in many states, turning what once required a visit to the courthouse into a simple internet search.
Anyone with internet access can find out if their state offers a search for state court records online. For those that do, checking up on someone you know is as easy as typing in their first and last name. Some states post case information regarding criminal trials, traffic tickets, child support cases, and even civil disputes (and their results) online for anyone to see.
Since this offers a way for one to investigate people they know anonymously, it also means your business is no longer your business. Friends, family, coworkers, and even someone you’ve just started dating are now able to see that ticket you got for speeding, or the amount you owe to a certain credit card company.
Not all state court records are public knowledge, however. Generally, immigration records, military records, juvenile case records and FBI criminal records are some of the different situations where the case information will not be made available to the public.
States also vary in how much detail will be available about the cases posted online. While some states only include basic information, others will go so far as to include the minute entries, specific charge(s), rulings, and possibly even sentencing information. When dealing with sexual predators, every state has a database where you can search for known sex offenders within your area, in an effort to make the public more aware of whom these people are.
Although checking on your friends, family, and maybe even coworkers or employers might be entertaining to some, try to consider whether you would want them checking on your history in return. Eliminating the need to head over to the court house to search for records has dramatically increased the likelihood of someone you know searching state court records for your name.
What will they find? How would that make you feel? After considering these things, you may just agree that it’s best to honor the privacy of others, rather than go looking for something to laugh about at their expense.
