Hi Pixie

I am not ignoring your requests, but there are different conditions covering Military records.
Normal records have a “cut off” time every 30 mins throughout the day.
eg. if you put a request in BEFORE 9:30am, the record will be available AFTER 10am.

With Military records they only have 2 retrieval times per day:
before 12:30 which will then be available AFTER 4:30pm that day; (I had to leave by 3pm today)
and 5pm which will be available after 12:00 the following day.

ALSO, you are only allowed 1 Military record per retrieval time – ie 2 per day.

ALSO you are only allowed 5 items against your name at any one time.
Ordering a military record effectively means that you can only have another 4 items at any stage in the system against your name.

There are 3 main stages:
Requested; - self explanatory.
Held out: - record has been found and is available for the borrower.
Issued: - this covers not only records that you are reading, but also records that you have returned, but staff have not entered back onto the system.

So looking up Military records is not straightforward.
Of course if it is urgent, you always have the opiton of contacting Archives direct.
