Submarines and their Highly Trained Crew
Submarines and their highly trained crew engage in mine warfare, perform Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, and support battle group operations. Out of every 20 men sighing up for duty, maybe six would quantify. To learn more read "Mentality in Submarines" that explains what it takes to serve in this special branch, of the U.S. Navy in "Heroes Beneath the Waves: Submarine Stories of the Twentieth Century", by Mary Nida Smith, who's husband spent sixteen years as Chief Sonarman in three wars.

MILITARY RECORDS/DD-214
Military
Records/DD-214 Update 05 ► Available Online It's official; DD-214s are NOW
Online. Please pass on to other vets. The National Personnel Records Center
(NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their
DD-214s online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov
This
may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for
employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with
computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military
files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military
members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request
documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the
Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because
the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to
process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans
for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based application was
designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records
centers mailroom and processing time. [Source: Vet Council - St Johns Cnty FL |
