Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We suggest that you request a copy of his Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). OMPFs and individual medical reports for those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II and separated from the service more than 62 years ago are in the custody of the National Archives at St. Louis. Please complete a GSA Standard Form 180 and mail it to NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002. In Section 1, Item 1, where it asks which items you are requesting, please check “Other” and specify that you want the entire file. If there is any information requested by the form that you do not know, you may omit it or provide estimates (such as for dates), but the more information you provide, the easier it will be to locate the correct file if it survived the fire. Veterans and next of kin of deceased veterans also may use eVetRecs to request records. See eVetRecs Help for instructions. For more information see Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF), Archival Records Requests.
World War II era OMPFs may also be requested by visiting the Archival Research Room at the National Archives at St. Louis. Please see the linked website for more information. Email stlarr.archives@nara.gov for further assistance prior to making an appointment.
Since some veterans registered with their state or local veterans service agencies after they separated from service, we suggest that you contact the state or county veterans agency where John J. Hall lived for additional assistance. Please review the NPRC web page Other Methods to Obtain Military Service Records for more information. Please be advised that registering discharge papers with local and state authorities was optional, so we cannot guarantee that these types of organizations will have his records.
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located Draft Registration Cards for California, October 16, 1940–March 31, 1947 in the Records of the Selective Service System, 1926–1975 (Record Group 147) that includes the draft registration cards for John Paul D'zuro. We are attaching the card.
You may also request his Classification History (SSS Form 102). The Classification History may contain: name; date of birth; classification and date of mailing notice; date of appeal to the board; date and results of armed forces physical examination; entry into active duty or civilian work in lieu of induction (may include date, branch of service entered and mode of entry, such as enlisted or ordered); date of separation from active duty or civilian work; and general remarks. Please complete a Form NA-13172 to request a search of these records and email it to the National Archives at St. Louis (RRPO) at stl.archives@nara.gov. We recommend that you attach the draft registration card, as it includes information which will make it easier to locate his classification history. For more information, see Selective Service Records.
We then searched the Muster Rolls of U.S. Navy Ships, Stations, and Other Naval Activities, 1/1/1939 - 1/1/1949 in the Records of the Bureau of Naval Personnel (Record Group 24) that include the multiple listing for John Paul Dzuro Jr, service number 320 58 57. Some of these records have been digitized and are available for viewing using the Catalog. For more information about these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RR2R) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
The Navy Muster rolls are also available on Ancestry and Fold3. There may be a fee for using these websites. We suggest that you check for access at your local library as many library systems subscribe to these sites, making them free for their patrons. You may also view Ancestry and Fold3 for free at one of the National Archives’ facilities. For the nearest National Archives location, please consult our Visit Us webpage. FamilySearch can be accessed with a free account.
Some his other assignments listed in the muster rolls are as follows (not in chronological order):
