Ref CAPR 10-2, Personnel records are destroyed after 5 years, so unless you have personal copies already you may be out of luck.  You could try contacting the units and asking nicely if they would look around and see what they can find stashed in old files and boxes, but I wouldn't hope for too much.

Something you may check is to see if you can contact old members of your previous units and ask if they have copies of documents in which you may be mentioned. 

When I rejoined CAP in 2009 I "found" a couple of members from my old sqdns from the 1960's.  They were able to provide me with copies of summer encampmemt orders, observer/pilot appointment orders, completion roster from the Mission Coordinator Course, travel orders for sarcaps, etc.  Not much if anything useful but interesting.

I found my awards and rank mentioned in a squadron newsletter published annually by my old squadron.
