PFC Eric Bast On the National Archives website, click on Veterans' Service Records, and follow the instructions.

PFC Eric Bast Did you submit a VA claim? Log onto eBenefits and go to your documents. That should have a copy.

The other idea is to go to the NPRC website and request a copy of your military records.

Did you register with a state/county Vet Center when you ETSed? They may have a copy if you gave them one. Many counties do this for your exact reason.

Did you make a digital copy send it to a potential employer? They may have it. It might be in your sent items.

If you haven't been out a long time (under a year), you could request one from the installation that out processed you.

Go to the VA Or Veterans Center in your local major city that has one and theyll either give you a form so you can request one from the department of defense or from your local recruiting office. A army recruiter helped me re order mine.

Go to the local V A, and see if they can have a copy sent to you, that's how I got mine. The one I had is somewhere in the house.

did you file a copy with your local register of deeds? They should be able to give you a copy if you did
