I did not get a DD214. I was Air Force and they use a different number.
Was looking for the DD214 when I went to social Security Administration
office.

Didn’t know that, Bill. I thought all branches were under DoD with Dd214
sign out. Except Greg would have been under the Dept if the Treasury.
Don’t know about coast guard...

It was the department of transportation when I got out and DHS now but
they still used the regular DoD forms. I just went through this with
the VA and I bet Bill had a DD214 along the way somewhere but he is
thinking about his actual discharge form. (another document)
I never actually had my DD214 until I asked for it. I may have seen it
when I was released from active duty but if they gave it to me I
probably did not get off the base with it.
Both my release from active duty and my actual discharge were pretty
chaotic days. Lots of running from here to there and signing papers.
They did not seem to have a central location for any of it. The
release from active was between the ship and an admin building on the
base. The discharge was running around CG base Yorktown (Va)
I found out if I hadn't done any of that they would have just mailed
me a package and wanted my ID card back with the signed forms but
since I was already there, it wanted to get it done. It was a good
thing because I ran into my old Chief and got to go shoot.


Most likely. I used my discharge form. My last week was weird. They
issued me new fatigues. Asked them why? Rules.
