not sure what you are looking for but best bet would be to either check www.va.gov or go to the closest va facility---make sure you have a original or certified copy of your DD214(discharge paperwork)

Go to \nhttp://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html\n\nand fill out Form DD214. I think you have to be a relative. I did it for my father's Navy records. It took about 5-6 months, but it was worth the wait.

Try your local VFW or American Legion. Ask for the service officer and they can help you get the information that you are looking for.

I read the answers so far concerning discharge, and I would not recommend any of them. \n\nOne has to be very careful in the advice they get from the internet. \n\nI am retired military, combat veteran, and I was also a recruiter, so I understand the regulations which cover what is called "ETS", Exit Time of Service, and the regulations which cover discharge.\n\nI am responding to you for two reasons. One, to provide you with qualified answers to your question, and to help all those who read this response, in their understanding of the enlistment and discharge process.\n\nThere is also an underlying principle which I hold to as well.\n\nThe president of this country, not to be confused with my president for he is not in any form, shape, or fashion, my president, ever!! \n\nThis current president, outright lied to the american people in starting a war with Iraq. Therefore this means, "he lied, and military personel died" - and "are dying".\n\nIn no way should anyone who reads this response should and assume that I dont support our troops. I simmply dont support their commander in chief who is a liar.  \n\nNow lets chat about the rules and reg's over you.\n\nDoes not really matter what branch of service you are in, all branches operate under what is called the "Uniform Code of Military Justice" or UCMJ, and what is also called "Standard Operating Procedures" or SOP..\n\nThese set of rules and regulations and procedures cover every aspect of enlistment and discharge.\n\nThe only way to get kicked out with a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge is to do soemthing illegal, and then be prosecuted for it at a court martial.\n\nDont go this route!!!By doing so you are placing your very life in the hands of people in uniform in the same branch you are in, who will treat you everyway evil they can get away with. And this can get real nasty and vindictive against you.\n\nLet me tell you this. The UCMJ and SOP, are not written in a way to be fair to the military member. Actually they are written in everyway unfair and unethical. \n\nOutside of a court martial, which again can bring a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge, the only two other discharges are, Honorable and General Discharge.\n\nIf you can, seek a honorable discharge and hope for a general discharge, if you wish to leave before your time of service is over. \n\nYou should also find out about Veterans benefits, which may or may not be affected in your desires to leave the military. I can help you with these two. Just ask the question, and I will answer it too herein.\n\nAfter many years of thought and experiences while on active duty, I believe the best way to get out of the military, next to serving out your regular enlistment time, is to first change your combatant status. \n\nIn other words, go to your company commander and tell them you are declaring and changing your status into what is called "Conscientious Objector" or "C.O.". I will be using the acronym "C.O." hereafter.\n\n"O.C." status, means you are telling the military you no longer wish to use any weapon to kill anyone with for any purpose whatsoever.\n\nThe bottom line in the military is this. They need people to go to war, and kill other people while doing it. \n\nYou must request discharge based on the status of "C.O." according to regulations. \n\nThis means you must first get the required paperwork from your personnel section. \n\nYou can also get the help of the chaplain and the post JAG, Judge Advocate Generals office for filling out these forms. \n\nIf I were you, and I were to declare this "C.O." status, I would use both the chaplain and JAG, and any advice my personnel section may provide. \n\nI would also use letters from my family members and even neighbors if you can acquire them; written to "whom it may concern". Have them write letters in support of your newly declared status.

Your first call should be to the VA waste and fraud line (another poster put the number up) and if that doesn't work, try the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. They don't work with the VA pension but they do have all the ins and outs of pension law and can refer you to the proper resources.

Yes it will unless you want to change it. you can log onto the Veterans administration website and it has FAQ or frequently asked questions and one of these tells about it. Link is below.\nGood luck!!

Check out USAJOBS.\n\nCheck out job series 0341 and 0342 among any others you want to see.  Verify your status at the bottom of the page before searching.  You are either "Status" as a prior civil servant or a veteran or "Non-Status" but are a US Citizen.  Here is the link:\n\n\nhttp://jobsearch.usajobs.opm.gov/advanced_search.asp

I would suggest contacting the Veterans administration, or the Legion hall, in the area he was in.  they may have MORE knowledge on this, and HOw to get access that we may not have.

I bet you REALLY got an Entry Level sep, not a medical discharge/retirement.   Youd idn't serve long enough to get a discharge under any conditions. as such, no, you are not a vet, and would only be eligible for VA bennies if the reason you were discharged was directly due to Basic Training and not a pre existing condition(whether known or unknown, revealed or not) and would be limited tomedical care for said condition.

Absolutely! As for the 1946 vs. 1959 thing, he may have been classified in-active Reserve due to his training.\n\nContact the local VA clinic in your area. I know treatment probably varies from area to area, but my father, also a Navy Vet of WWII has received excellent care. I think you may also be surprised how many benefits are available to him. \n\nYou may also want to contact your local VFW Post. There will be plenty of Vets there that would be proud to walk you through the process or get you in contact with the right people if you're having trouble. \n\nTell him we thank him for his service.

Military discharges are confidential.The government would be the only one who can answer that question. I would say ask your congressman to find out where you can get a general estimate of the discharge classifications for those years.
