A veteran’s OMPF is the foundation for ANY research. OMPFs contain a wide range of data, but will vary considerably in their contents. This is the first place one would look for any Veteran’s history. If the record the veteran seeks is there, no additional research need be done. If additional research is required, the OMPF may provide the tools to conduct that additional research. For any military veteran research, it is the source which must first be examined. We can review morning reports, unit histories and diaries, and other sources depending on the nature of the inquiry, but that is custom research. We charge $65/hour, and generally 5-6 hours is needed for most cases. But, as in all research, no guarantees can ever be given for a successful result. We are paid to search, with the hope that we may find. For custom research, we bill in 3 hour increments in advance, with an initial $200 retainer.
