Have you contacted:
National Personnel Records Center
(Military Personnel Records)
9700 Page Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63132-5100
www.nara.gov/regional/stlouis.html
You can request records without giving a reason, citing the Freedom of Information Act (in my opinion, you shouldn't reveal that you're an adoptee ISO birth father)
I got this info from a book called "How to Locate Anyone Who Is or Has Been in the Military" by Lt. Col. Richard S. Johnson & Debra Johnson Knox
There's a sample letter in this book you can use.
You shouldn't need to know his unit if you have his name.
My b-father was in the ARMY but all I know is his first name and where & when he was stationed (in Heidelberg, Germany) but the records people in St. Louis weren't willing to exert themselves by doing a search by first name.
Good luck. Let me know how it goes, and if you have any advice for me, please share!
Thanks, Annika
