Now Get Military Records On-line
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has instituted a new on-line program to request copies of documents from military personnel records.
"It's an improved method of requesting documents from the NPRC," says Center Director R. L. Hindman. "Our new web-based application will provide better service by eliminating our mailroom processing time." Hindman points out that the new system will eliminate the delays which have occurred in the past because requestors needed to supply more information.
"The requestor will be promptd to supply all information essential for us to process the request," he states.
The web-site address is: http://vetrecs.archives.gov
Hindman also points out there is no requirement to type "www" in front of the web address.
The improved on-line request process should be used in.stead of Standard Form 180 for requests from the veteran or the veteran's next of kin.
