How do I obtain a copy of my records?

Is it possible to get copies of my records (tests and personnel) for my enlistment period, US Army, 1972-1975. I spent 1 or 2 weeks taking dozens of tests prior to Basic, I'd like copies of some or all test scores/evaluations, including GT score, language, and some others. I also got proposals for a few schools (West Point Prep, EOD, military intelligence, etc.) And I remember my personnel file was pretty thick before I ETSd. I'd like a copy for my children to have since they've asked questions.
