The VA has requested documentation to prove that I deployed to southwest Asia or the gulf. They aren’t asking for a specific document, they even say it can be receipts. I’m not sure what else will do for them and I need proof, not just that I deployed but where I deployed to. They have my dd214 and aperently the don’t look this up themselves. Where and how do I show them?

Not sure if the USMC does unit movement orders, but if they did, that would be hands down proof of when you rolled, who with, and how long it was originally designed to be in country. If you got any awards in country, that too would prove you were there.

do you have a copy of your medical records? if so, did you have any medical treatment while deployed? there might be something there
