Trying to have my Navy discharge status changed but having a difficult time requesting medical records from 35yrs ago since I was transferred from hospital at basic training in Ft Lauderdale to Naval hospital in Norfolk, VA and don't know the names of either of the hospitals. Can't proceed without them don't know where to inquire.

Very grateful!

You can also request all of your medical records online. Do you have the link?

Yes, & I know it could take a year to receive them as my DD-214 took 6+ months! 😕

Once you get them but at least take your dd214 your counties clerk and records office and they will store a copy (no charge). So that you can walk in whenever and get a copy in 2 or 5 minutes. (might be spendy for a copy of your entire medical jacket)

Thanks for the county clerk info. Very little in my medical jacket as I passed MEPS but 8mths later in basic in 1987 discovered I tested positive for HIV after a rape & sent me to Norfolk as a lab guinea pig for the government at the beginning of that epidemic then discharged me with 'erronious enlistment' categorization, no benefits & enough antidepressants to off myself which I tried to do within 3 days of arriving home so my family wouldn't have to watch me die. Funny thing... I'm still here.
