I am not sure if he was in air force or navy but I know his division came from Massachusetts

I assume you've asked your parents and any surving friends or siblings of your grandfather? If you can find out the name of his division, then you might be able to google for an organization of veterans of that division. They might have pictures.

You sure enough got that right.  I think someone should look for records of someone else who served with him, to determine if only his are "misplaced" or everyone else's are too.

Talk to anyone with an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) account to look him up by name. This gives you his official email address and Unit. \n\nIf you don't already know someone in the Army, call a Recruiter and explain your situation..................

I can help with part of it - the last section I will leave to my Marine brethren to chime in. It refers to his unit of assignment. A "Weapons Company" was a unit that specialized in a particular heavy weapon (during Korea it would likely be mortars or a recoiless rifle). So...he was assigned to the 1st Weapons Company, under the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Infantry Division. This is where things get tricky - that is an Army designation. Marines are assigned to MEU's (Marine Expeditionary Unit) and MEF's (Marine Expeditionary Force), but it is certainly possible that he was a detached element. Now for the Tr Bn TCI - I am going to guess that this is a location. Something like Tran Binh. If noone here can specify this - check your Dad's service record - his duty assignments and basic locations will be listed. You can then search on line for veterans groups who served there and I bet you will find a host of his former comrades. Good Luck!

Try your local base, if you don't have a local base go to the VFW. \nThe VFW can help you locate him if you know his name and rank.

Have his beach det admin office send you a copy of his deployment orders. This may be a bit difficult if you don't have a power of attorney from him though.

I'm sure someone on here will no better but my cousin went to the Naval Academy and I believe he contacted his local Senator Or Representative first.  Then I think they help you along. I'm surprised it's not on their website.

John Underwood, Andover, Massachussetts.Hee Hee.I saw it on one of the answers you gave.

Not unless you know what Base he either lives at, or is deployed from.

If it seems like he's making it up to you, then he probably is.  Here's a few questions to ask him if you're IM'ing him.  If he answers wrong or takes way to long, then he's full of it.\n\n-Ask what his MOS number is (four digits, first two are the field, last two are the specialty)\n-Ask where he went to MOS school (you can verify this info later)\n-Ask what he got on his last PFT (Physical fitness test), and when he took it.  If he says he took it recently while he was deployed, then he's probably bs'ing you.  Deployed Marines hardly ever take PFT's.\n-Ask what unit he's in, then find out later if they're really stationed there.\n\nOr you can find out his name and rank, tell me, and I'll tell you if he really is a Marine and where he is stationed if he is.\n\nAlso, just make sure that you ask these questions in  a "roundabout" way.  Don't sound like you're interrogating him!

That information is PROBABLY not readily available. \n\nYou may want to try the State Department's Electronic FOIA. They probably have Defense Detaches listings. If not, you can always look up his DD-214 (his service record) by making an FOIA request.\n\nhttp://foia.state.gov/default.asp\nhttp://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html\n\nYou will probably need to complete SF 180. If you know the person's name, it will probably help.

David Robinson went to Navy too. I defnitely think joining the armed forces or other leadership or life experiences makes a person stronger mentally. SO, ya, it does help him to be a better player, for sure!

You really want to learn a bout your dad? Maybe you should try going to military.com. If you have the info on his unit and such maybe some of his unit is still a bout and would know of him. You might go there join up and do a search for people who may have known him. Nothing would tell you more about him than the people who worked with him...

He should of told you, but if you know what unit he is in, you can look up the # for the C/O of his unit and ask him. Check http://www.jackson.army.mil/ for more info.\n\nEven more detailed for you if you know his unit. http://www.jackson.army.mil/BCT/graduation.htm

You said he is in the  military , are they planning to deploy him ? and if so could any of this behavior be coming from him feeling insecure because he knows about your active past, maybe he feels you will not be faithful while he is gone.

I am guessing both are more than likely trained along the same lines. The US and British military seem to work together well, so that's what made me say that.

I was home for 30 days in the Navy. It may be different in the Army.
