I need to find out how to get ahold of my Military Medical records for when I was stationed as Ft. McClellen.
I may also need to find out who was the female General assigned there in late 1975.
I broke both ankles there just after the last day of mandatory self defense train and spent the next few weeks in a wheel chair and on crutches.
I was told to report to a certain building one dy and found that a request for discharge had been signed by me. Actualy the acting Commander had.
The female General that happened by as I was waiting with the others decided that I would indeed graduate with my cycle and I did.
I never gave it any thought until the a few years ago i had a chance encounter with a Doctore who had been assigned there and said that later I would have problems with the lower back.
I never told him all the problems that I had already had and just expected I would deal with it later.
Well now I'm trying to figure out how to prove that it happened.
The initial round with the VA was no. they wont consider it.
Any Advice?

I concur. Take the last tram of the day up, hide out on top until all the patrolers have gone down and then drop into Corbets. By morning your back will never bother you again. :) Actually, Joe, your ETS physical was the time to bring up any potential concerns you might have about injuries which you sustained while in the service. That's where and when disability files are originated and claims are begun. You may need a degree in archeology to dig up buried files from basic training at the now defunct Ft. McC. MP training school. However, give me a call, I went to basic with the current CSM of the MP school. He may be able and willing to provide you with the right tools and location to dig.

Joe I too was hurt while in the service and it didnt come up until years later. You can contact the National Personnel Record Center here in St Louis ( actually it is about four blocks west of where I am sitting right now ) and they can copy anything out of your 201 File. The local number is 314-801-0800. I was able to get some information from them on myself and my dad who served during the Korean War. They are not the fastest bunch around but I did get the info I needed. I got lucking and was handled by a very nice girl working there. Good Luck. Dave Chiemsee 81

JOE: I too am going through a lot of paper just to get my disability increased. VA Regional likes to cause lots of paper. My VA Hospital Caregiver says they are all “NUTS”. As previously told get in touch with the Records Center in St. Louis. They can extract all your medical problems and send them to you. In the meantime, make sure you contact your Regional Office and file a claim. It takes several months for them to get back to you. In your initial claim tell them you are waiting on papers from the St Louis site. Get something from your local doctor on the current situation and send that to them as well. Just “swamp” them with all the paper you can get. Your boss, friends, anyone that can attest that you are having problems now and what it is doing to you. JIM
