Military Records

I am 17 years old, and last year i was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. I was never depressed i was just looking for attention ( yea, childish I know). I want to join the military, but according to the standards I can’t if I have any “current” depression illnesses. I was wondering if there were anyway to be cleared from this diagnoses or if i can get it removed from my medical records, or anything that will help me be one step closer to qualifying for the military.

At the time of requesting records, I only knew of his enlistment to Navy in 1933, but have since heard from his cousin that he also enlisted in Army later. Not sure if I believe that. Would this come up in his military files? I only had SS# at the time of his death. Was sent record request with his service # I assume of his Navy duty. If he served in Army as well, would all records be under same service # or would there be two separate service numbers and files?

I was curious if there was a way to find WW1 military records, specifically draft records, from the State of Ohio. I know you can request military records from the NARA (National Archives for Records Administration) website, using a SF-180 form, but I was curious if I could try on a State level. Who should I contact in the state of Ohio to obtain copies of such records? Would the OHS (Ohio Historical Society) or GOVA (Governor’s Office of Veteran’s Affairs be of any help?

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…

asked:

where could i find military records for someone without requesting them from the military (it’s a background check on the d.l. and they aren’t listed on intellius)? i think the person is a veteran and was honorbly discharged.

I requested my medical records on the 1st of this month and I still haven’t received them, I even faxed my signature over so the process would be quicker. Does anybody know how long on average they take to come in the mail? And is there any way to track the request I put in for them?
