All the stuff that really matters was lost in the fire in '89 or the big flood. Or so thats what they tell me happened to mine.

As I understand it, the bulk of the records destroyed were Coast Guard and, I believe, Air Force. I don't think that there were any Navy, Army, or Mirine Corps records lost.

I've tried 3 times over the last 10 years to get copies of my Army records from '81-'85. The first 2 times was the fire story, the last was the flood.

Alls I wanted was proof that I busted my right leg and foot when an M-109 tried to run me over on a muddy tank trail in Graf, but I guess the shooting pain in my foot when the barometric pressure drops rapidly will have to suffice.
