The Actual Naval Record Documents

I scanned the Photocopies I received, some are a little difficult to read because when they photocopied them, some of the original documents bled through.   If you have a Graphics Program (I use Paint Shop Pro) you can download & save them to your disk and enlarge or enhance them to read them better.

www.npc.navy.mil has some info on codes, but this site is as of todays standards.
