Help , Please !
I need a help since I am not familiar with many things . I hired second attorney . He is just getting familiar with my son's case . However . the INS prosecutor requested his Navy records . This attorney it's more credible that we had from beginning . He told me that my sons record will not be available by January 9 th since it has to go Washington DC , which means more time for mine son in facility .
PLEASE , if you have any advise help me . We already don't celebrating Christmas this year for the first time in my whole life . I can't even think to be eating ham when my son will be eating bologna sandwich . If you have any experience with these records , please help me . thank you so much for people that reply . Vlasta |

I can tell you this, you will just have to wait for the records. Unless your son has a copy of them, there is really nothing else you can do. Trust me when I say this, the government will take their own time and you will get the records when you get them. Wish I had better news.

About 10 years ago it took approximately 6 weeks to obtain a full history. That was also back in the day when requests were filed on paper.
Last summer, via electronic request form for DD214 only, it was received in less than 10 days. It's uncertain from your post whether you are requesting the entire military history or status of discharge upon separation (DD214). Here is the link that explains in detail what type of records are available and how to go about obtaining them: http://www.archives.gov/veterans/mil...rvice-records/ Look around that site for other military links that may be of help to you. Read, especially, the paragraph pertaining to ""Emergency" Requests and Deadlines" There are agencies that will charge fee to do what is available for free using the government's secure website (listed in the above link). Don't get scammed by any site offering to do it for you for a price. Good luck and hope your son is reunited with all of you soon. |

It's not you who is unclear it's usually me who is often unable to read clearly.
I filled out the form for the request of DD214, printed it out, and had to sign and fax it to the number indicated on the electronic form. They will not process it without a signature so your longest delay may be in getting his attorney to be able to see him to sign it. After it was faxed it was postmarked 6 days later and it was not an emergency request. Just to be on the safe side I would indicate your son's request is an emergency (because it is). Also I would make a similar separate emergency request for the complete history. It will save time if the prosecutor decides they want more than a DD214. Your attorney is the best to advise you on this. Again, good luck to all of you. |

Right now I am hoping for his release from INS since he has no criminal record beside this weed past . He is a businessman and if he is out , he will know how to straight this up . I got a new attorney and it seems he it's much more invested in my son's case . I will definitely do what you suggested and I want to thank you for your kind to reply and be so much helpful .

OutServe Capital Summit planned for May 14-15 in Washington, D.C.
OutServe, a nonprofit organization that represents active duty LGBT military personnel, announced today that it will be holding its first OutServe Capital Summit on May 14-15 in Washington, D.C. Courage Campaign is one of the co-sponsors of the summit, as well as the Human Rights Campaign and Servicemembers Legal Defense Network. OutServe’s theme for its summit will be “Our Families Matter,” and will feature a day of panels and discussions between active duty soldiers of all sexual orientations and advocacy experts about the rights of gay and lesbian military partners under DOMA. Despite the repeal of DADT, same-sex military partners are not eligible for all of the rights that heterosexual military families enjoy, including healthcare, base housing, and other privileges. The Capital Summit is an exciting idea because it will bring together members of this community who have not necessarily had a chance to discuss the changes in their lives that DADT repeal has brought and provide a space for discussing how DOMA continues to negatively impact LGBT service members and their partners. In addition, the summit will look at what can get done in the future: SLDN, HRC and Courage will lead a discussion about how to elicit congressional action to help LGBT service members, and the second day of the summit will be dedicated to outreach on Capitol Hill. Registration for the summit opens today at OutServe’s website. Check out the full schedule below! Monday (May 14th) 8am: Registration 9am-4pm: Our Families Matter Workshops/Presentations 6:30pm: OutServe National Military Families Dinner (tickets sold seperately) Tuesday (May 15th) 8am: Breakfast/ Morning Briefing 9am: Load Bus 9:30am-3pm: Capitol Hill |

I am Air Force for life...cause once you serve in any branch of the military you are...and always will be...a veteran, many of us served prior to everyone in a uniform being called a hero.... back in the olden days, you didnt wear your uniform off base, cause it was not safe..not cause of terrorists but to protect you from having eggs thrown at you, being called a baby killer and you could fool yourself into thinking you blended in with the civilians....
Always thought it was funny watching a group of service folk walking down the sidewalk thinking they blended in as they unknowingly marched in step.... Well blessings to all veterans and current active duty military personnel all over the world and for all countries....and I highly encourage every person that is a veteran to join "veterans For Peace" www.vfp.org The only way to keep all service people alive is to keep peace by dialog not by guns
