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.

Contact the local newspaper.  They'll get you a copy for a small fee.  Pretty easy to do.  You might be able to do it online.  I found my grandfathers that way.

I hope that he registered his DD214 with your local clerk if not, go to http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/get-service-records.html  then you can request it on line at their web page; fax it or write them.  If after you receive your DD214 you need awards and medals download a Form SF 180 Requests Pertaining to Military Records, http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/replacement-medals.html   complete it and send to one of the following:\n\nBureau of Naval Personnel  (Navy, Coast guard and Marines)\nLiaison Office Room 5409\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center  (Air Force)\nAir Force Reference Branch (NRPMF)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nNational Personnel Records Center   (Army)\nMedals Section (NRPMA-M)\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nBest of luck.

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.

Try those websites:\nhttp://unitpages.military.com/unitpages/unit.do?id=202283\nhttp://libweb.sfasu.edu/ETRC/collect/MANSCRPT/PERSONAL/WilsonCharles/photos.htm\nhttp://www.physics.isu.edu/radinf/navynuc.htm\n\nMost of those websites have an e-mail address to contact the person in charge.  Maybe you could get more information by sending an e-mail and ask for your father?\n\nBest of luck!  Jo

And!\n\nAsk the Army for a copy, it should be in your records, or in his.\nWestmoreland is dead I am pretty sure so he isn't a source.

Maybe, that's all the info you will need.  Check within the military, universities(especially that of Washington), and records at the library.  Hopefully that will aid in your search besides the web.

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...

If he is currently active duty, then you could talk with someone at your local red cross or USO (probably in your nearest international airport).  They can also provide you with a mailing address for him if he is overseas.  If he is not currently on active duty, eg. if you are looking for a unit he previously served in, then www.military.com might have the answers you are looking for.  Disbanded units often hold reunions, which are listed on the site too.  Good luck.

If you know he is still in the service, write to the Secretary of the Branch of service and ask.  If there is a family emergency, like the death of a relative, you can work through the Red Cross.  They will probably notify him that you want to contact him, but I don't think he has to.  The letter, or your request, will be forwarded to the senior officer over him and at best, he might get a firm talking to by his commanding officer.  I have seen sailors reamed out for not staying in contact with his mother or father.
