If he was discharged more than 62 years ago, then the National Archives opens all of those records to the public and ordering a copy will be easy.
If I also want to order my own service records through milConnect, how do I know if my request was successfully received?
After you order your records through milConnect, you will receive an email letting you know we are processing it.
Also, when I attempt to order my grandfather's records in preparation for his funeral, what if I find out it has not quite been 62 years and they are not held as public with the National Archives?
