How Do You Obtain Retired Navy Personal Medical Records?
Obtaining Navy service records is often necessary when applying for certain employment or educational opportunities. In addition, you might want to find out a parent’s or grandparent’s Naval service history for personal purposes. Make the request for records in person or in writing. The request can be submitted by the retired individual or their spouse, parents, children or siblings. When sending a written request, be sure the request is dated and you have signed it. Use the standard 180 request form provided by the federal government (see Resources section). Standard form 180 is the best way to request Navy military records for retired servicemen. It has all the necessary information you will need to send in an application. Gather the required information. You will need the full name of the veteran in question, as well as his date and place of birth, Social Security number, branch of service and service number to obtain personnel Navy records. Look for Navy records up to the year 1994
