CG Military Retiree Community, CG Retiree Services Desks, CG Transition &
Relocation Managers, et al: This is to make you
aware and ask you to pass
along below information from CG Military Records (CGPSC) regarding requests
for CG Military Retiree Records. CGPSC will be updating their website
accordingly and I understand there will be additional messaging on this
subject.
1. If you
separated or retired from the Coast Guard prior to 01 October 2006,
make requests to obtain copies of DD-214's, Personnel Records,
Medical &
Dental Records, and Service Medals, etc. to the National Personnel Records
Center (NPRC). Requests may be made
online by the veteran or next of kin of a
deceased, former member of the military. If you are not the veteran or next of
kin, complete
Standard Form 180 (SF 180)
http://www.archives.gov/research/order/standard-form-180.pdf and send the
completed form to:

If
you separated from the service and plan on filing a claim for medical
benefits with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), you do
not need to
request a copy of your military records from the NPRC or CGPSC. The VA
regional office handling your case will petition
the NPRC, CGPSC, and the VA
Records Management Center for needed service and medical records to adjudicate
your claim.
