Sorry to keep buggin ya, but how would someone from Texas go about making a request for the records, or even find out if they existed?

I sent and FR mail to ya.

The process is surprisingly simple, but takes time. Patience is very important.

I'd be interested in that info, too. I've filed requests for personnel records (see National Personnel Records Center, but that's somewhat different than obtaining the documents you're looking for. Some after-action reports were released with Kerry's military file, and there was a boat damage report included, but I didn't see any maintenance records, deck logs, etc., which would be interesting.
