Can I find my brother's military records if I do not have his Service ID number or SSN?

Can I find my brother's military records if I do not have his Service ID number or SSN? The problem is that no family member have had any contact with him since 1985 and we are not even sure if he is still alive. He served in the Air Force (Active Duty), exact dates are unknown but somewhere between 1976' -1979 (approx). Any guidance would very much be appreciated.

Thank you!
