Access to Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF)for the General Public | National Archives
The veteran (or next-of-kin if the veteran is deceased) must authorize the release of any information not available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In some cases, the veteran may already possess military documents that contain the information you are seeking. The authorization must:

be in writing;
  
specify what additional information or copies that the NPRC may release to you; and
  
include the signature of the veteran or next-of-kin. A sample authorization is included for your review.

Please note: Next-of-kin must also provide proof of death of the veteran, such as a copy of the death certificate, a letter from the funeral home or a published obituary.
Without the Veteran or Next-of-Kin's authorization:
 Without the consent of the veteran or next-of-kin, the NPRC can only release limited information from non-archival Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF) to the general public. Click here for a list of information available under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act. Greater access is granted for records 62 years and older, see Archival Records.
How do I request copies of records?
Federal law [5 USC 552a(b)] requires that all requests for records and information be submitted in writing. Each request must be signed (in cursive) and dated (within the last year).
Certain basic information needed to locate military service records, includes: the veteran's complete name as used in service; service number; Social Security Number (if applicable); branch of service; dates of service; date and place of birth. For records affected by the 1973 Fire, additional information, such as place of discharge; last assigned unit; and place of entry into service may be useful.
To access military service records, requesters may:

Mail a letter or Standard Form (SF) 180, Request Pertaining to Military Records to:

 National Personnel Records Center
 1 Archives Drive
 St. Louis, MO 63138
  
Fax a letter or Standard Form 180 to: 314-801-9195

VA funding fee and loan closing costs

Learn about the VA funding fee and other closing costs you may need to pay on your VA-backed or VA direct home loan.

About the VA funding fee
What is the VA funding fee?
The VA funding fee is a one-time payment that the Veteran, service member, or survivor pays on a VA-backed or VA direct home loan. This fee helps to lower the cost of the loan for U.S. taxpayers since the VA home loan program doesn’t require down payments or monthly mortgage insurance.
Will I have to pay the VA funding fee?
If you’re using a VA home loan to buy, build, improve, or repair a home or to refinance a mortgage, you’ll need to pay the VA funding fee unless you meet certain requirements.
You won’t have to pay a VA funding fee if any of these descriptions are true for you:
