Kent,

 

If the NPRC still has your father's complete personnel file, it will most certainly answer any questions you may have about his service. Don't know if you have read on the website about the infamous fire of July 1973 that occurred there. Roughly 85% of all the Army and Army Air Forces personnel files stored there at the time were destroyed. Not to discourage you, just be prepared that they may not have anything left of your father's file. You definitely should try though,some files survived intact and pieces of some files were recovered. The only thing they had on my grandfather's file was a copy of his final pay voucher, it wasn't much but was still pretty cool to have.

Ah remember, there are other places that can provide the info that NARA in St Louis had.
