Yes - if you have a Veteran's service #, you can request a copy of their military records via the National Archives' eVetRecs site. It depends on whether or not you're a relative , Veteran, or researcher as to which request form to use, but the site is pretty good on how to request records and the procedure for doing it. The forms and request process are online - the link is below.
Veterans and next-of-kin can obtain full records - the general public is afforded only limited information.
