You are correct about the rank of Seaman Second Class. The "SW" (not "SVV") refers to what is called "warfare qualification", in this case "Surface Warfare". Sailors can be trained for different qualifications such as surface warfare, submarine warfare, construction work, diving, medical corps, etc.  In your father's case, he was trained and qualified to perform duties aboard US surface warships. Sailors who qualify for the Surface Warfare designator must learn everything about the ship from the pilothouse and helm to boilers and the bilge. The "USNR" stands for U.S. Naval Reserve.

go to a military post, and go to the supply room, for one of the companies and ask them to get you it. I used to be in supply for the army and we dealt with a lot of files like that. Or if you have an AKO account then u should beable to get it from there

Funny I was just reading a report yesterday that said that there were like 268 bad conduct discharges that were appealed last year.  Only one was "upgraded".  If you still have your DD-214 see what the R number is down in the bottom corner, that is what really counts.  I am told that senators are the point of contact to try to improve this, however being senators I am sure you will not get far with them.  Good luck, I would start by writting or emailing your local house rep. and Senator.  If you do not hear anything after a few weeks, then start calling and being a pest.  I do not know how much effort I would waste on this though.  I have seen people with horrible discharges get some really great jobs, as long as they were not gov. contracts or needed security clearences.

Based on context of where I'm seeing it, it seems to refer to something about postwar service records from the Virginia Archives... but it's really not clear because they just don't define it anywhere.

You should receive one in the mail once you've been discharged.  Or you can go to www.pacer.psc.uscourts.gov\nYou can pull up all your information on your case.

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!!

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)

Ask your surgeon...or a RN at the facility where the surgery was done. \n\nThey should have given you a list of 'to-do's' and 'not-to-do's' on your discharge papers.  Have you looked at them.  This is standard policy to provide you with this...any way if you lost those papers, phone them Monday and ask them...they'll be happy to tell you.  Each person is different and they know your history...and know exactly what you had done...so their advice would be the best. This is one time you DON'T want advice from friends, or on a board like this.

You should contact the Bureau of Naval Personnel (BUPERS) and I think you will get their contact information; go to www.navy.mil and find a link to BUPERS.

How can I get a copy of my DD Form 214\nThe DD Form 214, Report of Separation, is filed in the Official Military Personnel File. Certain basic information is needed to locate military service records. This information includes the veteran's complete name used while in service, service number or social security number, branch of service, and dates of service.  Download and complete the request form by clicking >> Here.

You may be able to obtain the information with a Freedom of Information request to the Veterans' Affairs.\n\nBrig time is typically considered a federal crime and should show up on their record, but NJP could result in very short times (3 or 5 days) without it being listed.

The above answer is VERY GOOD.  In fact it is taken right out of COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8f (the Navy Recruitment instruction).  Unfortunately that manual expired in OCT of 2005.  The new instruction COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8G (which is be used today), removes the “Recruit training and assignment to initial duty station” category.  So, here is the current instruction:\n\na.Buddy groups shall not consist of more that four individuals.\nb.All members of any one BUDDY group must be enlisted on the same day, at the same MEPS, and arrive at RTC together.\nc.All members of a buddy group must have a VE line score of 42 or higher (ASVAB SCORE)\n\nSo… Everything down to the categories in the above answer is correct.  Category (A) is still open as long as the above criteria’s are met. Now, I just got off the phone with a MEPS station, the Buddies DO NOT have to pick the same job.  However if they do the have a very good chance of classing up at school together and then selecting orders together the same duty station..\n\nAny questions email me….Hope this helps.

Honorable discharge.  You have been punished by the NJPs, so they will not be held against you.  Like the man said, if you're not being discharged because of the NJP, then you're G2G.
