Default Re: need help with finding records

Hello. Don't know how much assistance I can provide but there are others here that are more knowledgable. But this I know:

On the marker it says AMM3-US Navy WW2. What is AMM3?
Aviation Machinist's Mate = Assemble, service and repair airplanes and airplane engines. Splice aircraft wiring. Know principles and theory of flying.

I sent off for his record, but recieved a letter saying it was destroyed in the 1973 fire, but they can send me a final pay voucher. What would be on the final pay voucher? My husband who was in the Army says it will be just like his LES. Will this final pay voucher tell me what unit he was assigned to?
Similar to the current LES. It is a receipt of his final pay which will show what unit he was assigned to when discharged, the pay period and last held rank. Here's a sample: http://cyberreviews.skwc.com/bdmckay...payvoucher.jpg

You may have already seen this or done it but just in case, here is a pretty good link with info on obtaining records
