Getting Your MPR's and that Special Mug shot of your old man as a young turk

If I had known my MPR's included a recruit mug shot, I would not have waited so long to order them from St. Louis, Mo. After 40 years, I am still sporting the same Hair -do The entire process is simple and painless. Took about 45 days. A bit late for that Christmas gift. But hey, look for Father's Day. You'll be ready.

    The National Personnel Records Center, Military Personnel Records (NPRC-MPR) is the repository of millions of military personnel, health, and medical records of discharged and deceased veterans of all services during the 20th century. (Records prior to WWI are in Washington, DC.) NPRC (MPR) also stores medical treatment records of retirees from all services, as well as records for dependent and other persons treated at naval medical facilities. Information from the records is made available upon written request (with signature and date) to the extent allowed by law.

    This site is provided for those seeking information regarding military personnel, health and medical records stored at NPRC (MPR).

    If you are a veteran or next-of-kin of a deceased veteran, you may now use vetrecs.archives.gov to order a copy of your military records. For all others, your request is best made using a Standard Form 180. It includes complete instructions for preparing and submitting requests. Please Note: All requests must be in writing, signed and mailed to us at the address shown below.
