You can send a request for their service records through a Freedom of Information Act Request through the National Personnel Records Centre (see related link). Instructions on how to do this are available in the 'related links' section at the bottom of the page.
Obtain a copy of your military records from the National Personnel Records Centre in St. Louis. Included will be intake and discharging units.
Start by checking any military records or documents your family might have. You can also reach out to the National Archives or the appropriate branch of the military for service records. Additionally, consider asking other family members or researching unit histories to see if you can identify which unit your grandfather served in.

You can order his military records from "www.archives.gov" - I found my gg grandfather's civil war records for $17.50 and it gave me the name of the village he was from in Germany!
Protection is the purpose of government served by military forces.
Assuming the person served in the US Navy, you should request the person's service records from the National Archives. The process varies somewhat depending on your relationship to the person.http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/#evetrecsThe records center receives nearly 5,000 requests for records per day, so allow a couple weeks for a response!
Someone who has served in the military.
Certainly the individual served time FOR the military; but didn't serve IN the military.
I was trying to obtain records from michael carney, "serving the us military guard and currently attached to m.f.o. In mount sinai", as he told me. I found out he was a scammer and the identity, picture, etc. Of this soldier (if any) had been stolen to a real one.
Any person that has served their country IN the US military forces honorably; is a military veteran. Civilian contractors working for the military are NOT military vets.
no
In 2010, less than 1% of the American population was serving on active-duty in the military, with only 0.0003% of them U.S. Marines. It is likely impossible to determine how many of America's current (as of June 2015) population of 310 million have served in the U.S. military as the 1974 fire in the St Louis records center destroyed much of the WW2-Korea-Vietnam records.
