Remember, all cases are unique. Military record keeping is not always consistent, and not always thorough. If you have issues not addressed in your case’s annotations or answered within our FAQ, or you have a comment or concern about your general experience with Touchstone – we are always striving to improve – please open a Support Ticket from the above menu. Please give us 48 hours to respond so that we may review your case, make the appropriate inquiries, and provide a hopefully thoughtful and thorough response.
