Well it seems there is a way to go to modernize the 
government record system it seems? Average turn around 14-16 weeks?  
No email, only fax or mail, whoa (researching some stuff 
on my father)?

      Military Record Requests (SF 180)
      

      Today we must continue to receive requests, dated and with a 
      handwritten signature, either by mail or by fax only.  This is 
      because Federal law 
      [5 USC 552a(b)] requires that all requests for records and 
      information be submitted in writing.  Each request must be 
      signed and dated.  FOR THIS 
      REASON, NO REQUESTS WILL BE ACCEPTED OVER THE INTERNET AT THIS 
      TIME.
      With access to a printer and the Adobe Acrobat Reader software 
      available below, you may download and print a copy of the Standard 
      Form 180 - Request Pertaining to Military Records.  The 
      front and back of the form are separate files which must be downloaded 
      separately.  NOTE: Please download 
      both sides of the form as the back of the form 
      contains important mailing addresses and instructions.
      
        
        
          
            The Standard Form 180 is formatted for legal size paper (8.5" x 
            14").  Please print that way if your printer can accommodate 
            that.  If your printer can only print on letter size paper 
            (8.5" x 11"), select "shrink to fit" when the Adobe Acrobat 
            Reader "Print" dialog box appears.

            width=20 align=top border=0>
            A fillable version of the Standard Form 180, front and back, is 
            also available using the link below.  It will allow you to type 
            the needed information into the form using your keyboard.  You 
            will still need to print, sign and mail the form.  Otherwise, 
            it works the same as stated above.<A

            of the FREE Adobe Acrobat PDF Reader. If you don't have 
            access to a printer, or are unable to download the SF 180, you may 
            still submit a request for military records.  Please read the 
            two options below, and choose the one best suited to your

                Order Processing Time
                  Turnaround times for records requested from the National 
                  Personnel Records Center (NPRC) vary greatly depending on the 
                  nature of the request.  For example, the NPRC Military 
                  Records Facility currently has a backlog of over 200,000 
                  requests and receives approximately 5,000 requests 
                  daily.  Routine requests for separation statements 
                  currently require 4-5 weeks for servicing.  The average 
                  turnaround time on all requests is currently 14-16 weeks; 
                  however, requests that involve reconstruction efforts due to 
                  the 1973 fire may take much 
        longer.
      
        Contact the National Archives and Records Administration's <A 
        href="http://www.nara.gov/publications/faxondemand/index.html";>Fax-on-Demand 
        system.  The SF 180 is available as document 
        number 2255. 
        
          NOTE:  You must call the system from a fax 
          machine (using the handset) in order to receive documents.  Voice 
          instructions will guide you.  There is no charge for this service 
          except for any long distance telephone charges you may incur.  
          The phone number to access the fax-on-demand system is as 
          follows:  301-713-6905.
        Send your request as a letter.  Requests must 
        contain enough information to identify the record among the more than 70 
        million on file at NPRC (MPR).  Certain basic information is needed 
        to locate military service records.  This information includes the 
        veteran's complete name used while in service, <A 
        href="http://www.nara.gov/regional/mprssn.html";>service number or social security number, branch 
        of service, and dates of service.  Date and place of birth may also 
        be helpful, especially if the service number is not known.  If the 
        request pertains to a record that may have been involved in <A 
        href="http://www.nara.gov/regional/mprfire.html";>the 1973 fire, also include place of discharge, 
        last unit of assignment, and place of entry into the service, if known. 
        
      The SF 180 may be photocopied as needed.  Please submit a separate 
      request (either SF 180 or letter) for each individual whose records are 
      being requested.  You may submit more than one request per envelope 
      or fax. Our mailing address is:

      Page AvenueSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100
      Our fax request number is 314-538-4175.  The Center will respond 
      in writing by U.S. Mail.
