WW2 USArmy Personnel record

[csmdave]

When I joined in 1942 we each had a small book with our military records.
I saw mine once and I remember my CO's evaluation of me (average)
and other data.
This booklet had a common name which I eludes me -
anybody know what we used to call that?
No, it wasn't the Sick Book.

Officer's records were kept in their "201 File"; enlisted had a Paybook. That's all I am aware of.

thanks but nope, Paybook doesn't ring a bell but I'll keep thinking. There's only one guy left from my unit and unfortunately, he's in no condition to ask.

Different time, different service branch, but I'll offer some words
that might launch other thoughts,

SRB = Service Record Book / OQR = Officer Qualification Record
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Officer_Qualification_Record
or,,,, ? Official Military Personnel Files (OMPF)
http://www.archives.gov/st-louis/military-personnel/agencies/ompf-fed-agency.html

And meanwhile to show lack of memory:
As I recall, when transfered from one unit & base to another,
the important main document packet (? name) went by
official service 'mail', while another skinney folder with just
some important basics (? name) went with the officer.
