Military and Family Resources

Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging. The following resources are available to help you and your family.

Order Military Medical Records

If you are an active member, get certified copies of your medical records before you separate from the military. You will often get two copies of your records: one for your personal records, and one to provide to the VA.

Military medical records may be found at different locations depending on the service you were in and when you served. Learn how to request your military medical records from the National Archives.
