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?
You may be able to have his next of kin place the order or you may still be able to request limited information from their Military Personnel File.
