Here is what I believe is the proper records group to discover the truth: http://www.history.navy.mil/ar/charlie/coastal12.htm

This page lists various records collections, including the one directly above: http://www.history.navy.mil/ar/recs.htm

One must understand what types of records are at the St Louis Military Personnel Records Center vs the National Archives.

Army and AF unit records are at Suitland.....Naval unit records are at another location (see above).

The UNIT records will expose the relevant truth, NOT the 201 files and medical records that are kept at MPRC St Louis.

The after-actions, recommendations, ships log, etc are not part of individual records.....they are in the unit records......definitive facts and evidence over actual signature blocks are what is necessary to put all of this into perspective........I trust the Swiftmen and honest media are working on this already, but have yet to see an indication of such posted anywhere. Please forward this info to assets likely to use it poste haste.....

Good post. The Army and Air Force records have been moved to Archives II at College Park. The recommendations for awards and awards citations for individuals are scattered throughout, though most are in St Louis.

Here is a post from August 11 which sent researchers in the direction you have outlined in you post........looks like some of the DEFINITIVE records DON'T need Kerry's signature on a 180 records release form, but can be garnered by the general public by writing - QUICKLY - to the correct archive for copies????????

KERRY, SWIFT BOATS, VIET NAM, THE TRUTH, AND NAVY LOGS
