I just sent away for my classified military records even the redacted ones.

I sent away for them in 2017, but they were still classified after 53 years. All I received was the form Restriction of Assignment and Travel of Personnel Having Access to Special Intelligence. The Adjutant General ATTN: AGPF, Department of the Army Washington, D.C. 20310 In accordance with paragraph 5a, AR 614-31, it is requested that the personnel files on the following individual be flagged, effective this date, as the individual may be restricted from certain assignments and travel as a result of having access to special intelligence. It has been 58 years, does anyone know how long those records are going to be flagged? I would really like to tell my great-grandchildren what I did in the army.

Thank you, the form AR 614-31 is from 1964. I am sure it has been replaced by now. marie999 Feb 2022 #2
The correct form is probably secret. Tactical Peek Feb 2022 #3

I looked for AR 614-31 to read the reg and can't seem to find it. There is an AR 614-30 which deals with everything from PCSing to TDYs overseas. Nothing in the reg that outlines TS assignments. I'm just an amateur though. If it were me, I would call your nearest installation and speak to someone in JAG.

Good luck sir/ma'am

Group that closet matches what you did.

Like I know a lot of the MACV-SOG guys helped the 7th SFG work on stuff they did in Central America. Several got CIB’s and valor awards.

Does that make sense?
