This office will only have Maryland Air National Guard service records from 2018 and earlier. Since going digital with myFSS (myfss.us.af.mil/USAFCommunity/s/login) the Air Force is no longer providing copies of service records to this state office and we will be unable to assist as we have in the past for members of the Maryland Air National Guard.
STOP HERE and read:
If you were a member of any other branch of service besides the Maryland Army/Air National Guard, you will need to contact your respective service as this office only retains and maintains records for the Maryland Army/Air National Guard.
This office retains and maintains service records for the Maryland Army/Air National Guard only. The records retained are what have been provided by the Army/Air National Guard.
