The US military considers many of the service records to be privliged information. You can apply to see them (those that have survived), but my understanding is that you have to be a confirmed family member. I am currently applying to see my father's WWII service record.

Civil War records come up as service records, but every name I have typed in for WWII just shows the enlistment record. My grandfather's WWI record shows up only as a draft card. I know that most of the WWII service records at least were lost in a big fire, does anyone know if any of the later service records are included at all?
