When I enlisted in the late 60’s the recruiter told me one of the best things I could would be to enlist because I would then be eligible for free health care for the rest of my life. Some time ago while unemployed I checked on the “free” health care I was eligible for, it wasn't free, it was $50 copay every time you visit. I fortunately was not sick, but the lies I heard certainly sickened me.

"Same with my father, he’s 87. My sister has been helping for years to try for his benefits. Records lost in the fire."

My army stuff was lost in the St. Louis fire but my Morning Reports were not. You might be able to use those that would show transfers to field hospital.
