Good Morning Mr. Walker,

Please be advised that Mr. Maxon's service record would no longer be in the custody of the USMC, it is maintained by the National Personnel Record Center. Records for Marines who served before 1999 are archived and may be requested by writing directly to the Director, National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), Military Personnel Records, 1 Archives Drive St. Louis, MO 63138. When making your request, you should include all available personally identifiable information, such as the date of birth or social security/service number. For further details, please visit the NPRC website http://www.archives.gov/foia/.

If you consider this an adverse determination, you may submit an appeal by writing to the Department of the Navy, Office of the Judge Advocate General (Code 14), 1322 Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066 or, if you prefer, via e-mail to Lieutenant Brandon Maitlen, USN at brandon.r.maitlen.mil@us.navy.mil and/or Ms. Wendy Winston at wendy.a.winston.civ@us.navy.mil.
