Psychedelic-guitar man Jimi Hendrix, soul singer Marvin Gaye, Desi "Ricky Ricardo" Arnaz and actor Steve McQueen, newsman Edward R. Murrow, "Dragnet" detective Jack Webb -- military veterans all. Who knew? The nation now will be afforded some unique insight into these former servicemen and 144 other "persons of exceptional prominence" who served in the military. For the first time, their official service records will be opened to the public, the National Archives & Records Administration announced yesterday. The records of 1.2 million enlisted men and women who served in the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps from 1885 to 1935 also will be made public.

(no i didn't read the rest of the article)
You mean Kerry DIDN't have to sign SF180?
Why didn't you read the rest of the article? What does it have to do with Kerry?
I thought everyone knew that "most" Americans did their part, post Vietnam. TCM is a wonderful resource, and ya, I know who owns it......
TCM?
Turner Classic Movies, a wonderful cable channel. Old movies (B/W and color), narratives from directors and actors, and late at night they show more modern (for me) movies, from Aliens to Coal Miners Daughter. Uncut with no commercials.
I'm a moron, I meant PRE-Vietnam. I should just quit posting and lurk.......
cause his records are eventually going to be made public ?
(he was an enlisted man before he became an officer)
Quite a few of us did.
You should have read the article, because it has absolutely nothing to do with Kerry whatsoever
I did. I know. Never said it was related to Kerry.
I was going for a cheap laff. Near as I can figure, Kerry's enlisted (he was an enlisted man for awhile) records will available to the public 10 years after he dies or in 65 years. Hence SF180 eventually not needed.
Like I said...cheap laff.
FreepOn
May I recomend The Magnificent Seven Mcqueen classic and The great escape.
...or The Great Houdini ?
