Finding My Medical and complete DD214 Records

Question

I got out of the marine corps reserves in 2005. Two years later I tried to obtain copies of my records from the national record center. My medical files were lost before and a copy was supposedly stored somewhere and later sent to the storage. However they are apparently now missing as well. I was injured twice during duty and Have not been able to get the military to help me like they were supposed to without those records. I already fended off allegations that I stole the records even though the paper trail showed it only passed through the appropriate medical record handlers for our unit. The records and copies have since mysteriously vanished. I also sent a request for dd214 form and found out it was still being held by Head Quarters marine corps. When I got my dd214 I noticed i was missing nearly 3 years of service off my record as well as my issuance of my good conduct medal and my additional training I received. How can I find what happened to my missing medical records or the copies thereof and get the complete dd214 of my records?

Answer 1

Get a service organization be it the VFW, American Legion, or the Disabled American Veterans. Or get you congressman involved, they usually get things done. All services are free so you might as well use them.
