      Can I get medical records while serving on board a deploying submarine? I cannot seem to get my records from my 1st enlistment. I keep requesting them specifically but only receive records from my 2nd enlistment. I served on board a submarine during my 1st enlistment. I need my medical and personnel records from that enlistment.
