5. I've heard several versions now

Edited on Fri Jul-09-04 04:29 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere

Some stories are saying the records are "missing". Some are saying they were "accidentally destroyed". Other stories are saying that the microfilm "deteriorated" naturally, to the point where it can't be read. Which is it? If it's deteriorated microfilm, are there not high-tech ways to try to salvage it?

9. If you go to the DU link I posted above, and then

go to post #131, you will see links to articles that show the WH used * payroll records as "proof" of service as late as this past February.
