""And the Globe story says Kerry sent it to the Navy Personnel Command, which is only a limited storage location. So it is not surprising that the Globe then notes that what they received was largely 'duplication' of records previously released. The Navy Personnel Command primarily stores a subset of service records rather than a person's full military records. There is no doubt there are a lot of after-action records missing from what Kerry has released," said Sullivan."

People should look at the damn Form 180. Sending the request to the Navy is not an option. For anyone from Kerry's years in the Navy the request has to go to code #14, which is the NPRC in St. Louis.

Also the Form 180 is really just a request for the "separation" details. There wouldn't be "after action reports" in it. For crying out loud.

This is typical of the sloppiness involved here.

I read recently that for service members who are no longer on active or reserve duty, the form can be sent to the National Archives for full disclosure of all records, or to the Naval Personnel Center for a much more limited set. What do you want to bet sKerry sent it to the latter, and allowed only the Globe to look at them?
