The One Window That Opens

An empty mid-century records office waiting room, with a placard reading Window 3 beside a frosted service window

Persons surnamed Sergeant may petition for an address at this domain. The domain has carried family mail since before you asked. Write, bring proof of name, and the Registrar will talk. The window has seen about five such petitions in twenty-eight years, and remembers each one fondly.

Correspondence: domaininfo@sergeant.com, citing case file SGT‑001. The Bureau does not sell to Sergeants either. It talks.

Complaint 22-M · Frequently Filed

The Registrar has never been in the military. Other Sergeants have, and their records are their own. The Bureau maintains a standing form for the follow-up question and regrets that you are not the first to file it.
