PFC Martin Cruz you don't have to submit a FOI request to get your own medical records. PO3 Bill Latimer if the hospital doesn't have records that far back try: https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records

Request Military Service Records

Veterans and their next of kin can get FREE copies of their DD 214, and other military service records including Official Military Personnel File (OMPF), Replacement Medals, and Medical and Health Records.

I would write directly to the records section at the Wright-Pat hospital for starters. Include as much info as possible regarding dates and circumstances. See what they say and go from there. . . .
