Is there a web site lists the fields on the record of separation and what some of the abbreviations mean?
The faxed copy makes the box numbers and description unreadable. The field I am currently interested in comes after the campaigns, decorations and one other field. My father's record has Field Artillery OCS and Intelligence |

Officers did not receive the same documentation as enlisted personnel. Rather than a discharge, officers received a "Certificate of Service" (WD AGO Form 53-98 1 November 1944). The reverse of the form has information similar to that of the form used for enlisted discharge certificates. The center of the form addresses Military History:
22-23: Selective Service info 24: County and state 25: Home address at time of entry on AD 26: Date of entry on active duty 27: MOS and No. 28: Battles and campaigns 29: Decorations and citations 30: Wounds received in action 31: Service outside of U.S. and return 32: Service schools attended 33: Reason and authority for separation 34: Current tour of active duty 35: Education (years) 43: Remarks: Used as needed. |

Thanks but another reason to wish the 1972 fire never happened.
My father was a FA sound and flash unit commander but doesn't list my father attending the officer's sound and flash ranging course. It just lists the FA OCS and Intelligence courses. |
