Douglas Dietrich falsely claims there are no records of DOD Civilian Employees who worked at the Presidio

During his latest (June 1) Livestream (3:41:30 - 3:48:30)

Douglas Dietrich claims that George Knight (a cult follower living in the UK):

"Wrote to a record keeper with the Department of Defense (DOD) who said they maintained no records for the civilian workers who worked for the Department of Defense at the Presidio military base."

(Knight has previously claimed he has "researched everything Douglas Dietrich has ever claimed and found it to be true.")

No details were provided regarding the so-called response from the DOD.  Technically, the statement of the so-called "records keeper" (who was not named nor was a specific title or responding office given) is correct.

The Department of Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) maintains a database of all DOD employees (military and civilian).  They will verify the dates of active duty service of current and former service members, and the job title and dates of employment of current and former civilian employees.


The DMDC does not maintain the actual official personnel records associated with military or civilian DOD employees.

The DOD does not maintain the records of former civilian employees separated after 1952. Dietrich was implying that there are no records of those who worked at the Presidio, including himself!  This is totally false.

Had Dietrich actually been a civilian employed by the DOD, he would know this.  He would also be aware that he could submit a request to the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) to obtain a copy of his own Official Personnel File for a small fee.

Any former DOD civilian employee who worked at the Presidio can do the same thing.

According to the National Archives: The Official Personnel Files (OPFs) of Federal employees including the Department of Defense are in the custody of the Office of Personnel Management for 120 days following separation, after which they are maintained by the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC), St. Louis, MO.

"OPFs for former Federal civilian employees separated after 1951 remain in the legal custody of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Access to such records is restricted under the Privacy Act of 1974 (P. L. 93-579) and only limited types of information from these records are releasable to non-authorized users under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Former Federal Civilian Employees (the person of record): may obtain copies of most civilian and personnel medical records on file at the NPRC, including copies of the Standard Form 50 (SF-50) (Personnel Action) via written request. Different release procedures apply for archival civilian personnel records (see OPF, Archival Holdings and Access). Please note: OPFs are retired to the center within 120 days after separation from Federal employment. If less than 120 days have elapsed since separation, write to the last employing Federal office."

Once again, Dietrich's idiot clowns step forward to defend him by attempting to discredit the evidence against him, while having no clue what they are talking about.

I challenge Douglas Dietrich to obtain those records and present them publicly, otherwise, he is lying about everything he claims about working at the Presidio.
