One OTHER question.

Having served in the Regular Army AND the Ohio National Guard, when ever I recieved a memo it was on OFFICIAL Letterhead. If it was to go into a 201 File it would definitely been.

Where is the letterhead, the Unit Seal, The Army Seal, the DD or DA number on the bottom of the page?

Looked again in my 201 file and ALL attached memos were on official paper. Look at an Amry memo pad IT has an DD or DA number. Such as DD Form XXXX or DA Form XXXX and a date.

DD is Dept of Defense DA is Dept of the Army Form xxxx plus a date.

Back then even a memo pad were DA or DD Forms. Today you might have post its. Ot Staples bought.

And ALL Official memos in My 201 File have a stamped SEAL such as Unit and Adjutant Generals Stamped Sig.

Including a Happy Birthday memo. Now just keeping up moral to notice a soldier and Yes I even got one in the Guard and going so far as to include the Commanders Stamped sig on some and the Unit Seal on all is a bit much but the Military has a certain way to do things.

I was never in the military, so I never would have thought of (or known about) all that. But I think, if I wanted to dummy up something, I'd do my best to find a genuine one to use as a model. I might not catch everything, but as more and more comes out, it sounds as if they might as well have tried to forge them with crayons!
