Thank you for posting your question on History Hub in regards to Commander William G. Greenman!
We would recommend that you request Commander Greenman’s Official Military Personnel File (OMPF). OMPFs and medical files of Enlisted Personnel of the U.S. Navy who were separated from the service after 1885 and prior to February 1, 1994 and Officers of the U.S. Navy who were separated from service after 1902 and prior to February 1, 1994 are located at NARA's National Personnel Records Center, (Military Personnel Records), 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138-1002. You may apply online at http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/. Or you can download Standard Form 180 (SF-180) and send in your request via postal mail.
To download an SF-180 please visit our website at the following: https://www.archives.gov/files/research/order/standard-form-180.pdf
For a complete copy of a personnel file, in Section II, on the line for "Other" (Specify), write "Complete copy of every page of personnel file - not an extract."
