If you (or he )were in the military check out \n\nwww.military.com

Please see "Requests for Veterans' Military Information" at\n\nhttp://www.archives.gov/facilities/mo/st_louis/military_personnel_records/standard_form_180.html. \n\nThat page gives instructions in submitting a SF 180 Request Pertaining to Military Records. Your questions may also be sent to:\n\nNational Personnel Records Center\nMilitary Personnel Records Center\n9700 Page Boulevard\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100

Due to security requirements you can't use the world wide locator so you'll have to contact the Enlisted Records and Evaluation Center's (EREC) Customer Service Center at 1-866-771-6357.  You can try military.com, but it only works if the soldier registered with the site.  Otherwise, it's pretty useless.

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.

Try AKO white pages, that will do it.  Soldier's e-mail addresses are usually firstname.lastname@us.army.mil or firstname.mi.lastname@us.army.mil

You will be unable to get any information.  The Navy will only release information under certain circumstances, and you would not only need to have full name, you would also need their SS number and a damn good reason why you need to contact them.  \n\nYou can go to Military.com, and post a "looking for" message on their buddy finder, but the odds are small that you will have any luck.

I can not remember the website, but here is the mailing address:\nNational Personnel Records Center\nMilitary Personnel Records\n9700 Page Avenue\nSt. Louis, MO 63132-5100\n\nMy father passed away 11 years ago and my teenage son wanted to know more about his grandfathers military background.  On the web site you can request records, it took about 2 weeks and we got everything in the mail.\n\nHope this helps you out.  GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS

Well, if you access to AKO (Army Knowledge Online) you can easily locate the soldier.  However, if you're a civilian with no prior service in the military, that would be impossible to use.  I would start by going to an Army recruiter and asking him for help in the matter.  If you cannot find him through those methods, I would continue to search online.  If that does not work, you could always go find his family members, they would definitely know where he is.

First, if he is a relative and deceased - you can now get a complete copy of his service record from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. I have linked them below (1st link). If you are conducting research or trying to reconnect with him (aka old Army buddy) you can try going through the 35th ID Veterans Board and try to reach him or someone who knows/knew him. I have linked that too (2nd link). Good Luck!
