I lost all my Navy stuff medals,certificate for "A" School "Operation Dominic" ( nuclear testing )which was in the South Pacific in early 1962, shellback cert uniforms etc.to a house fire in the early 70's. Got my Medals replaced after about a year of contacting the Enlisted personell Dept in St. Loius,Mo. I need a copy of the BT "A" School certificate. I can scan and send you by e-mail a copy of mt DD214 to show that i was indeed at BT "A" School. If you have your copy then you can blank out your name and e-mail it to me .I would much appreciate it. Please reply. Thank You.
