Why does the AF do it different? I thought they were all DD214.
Maybe Cassady's pulling your leg.
DD 214 is not a discharge certificate, particularly when the
individule is not even discharged, but transferred to the reserves.
Those released after their four years would get a discharge
certificate in the mail two years after they left, on expiration of
their reserve committement.
The title of the the DD 214 is Armed Forces Report of Transfer or
DIscharge.

So you could have more than one DD214?
As in transferred to reserves (dd214), called up, transferred to
reserves again or discharged (another dd214)?
It is possible to have several DD 214's. One could serve an
enlistment, get out, come back several years later, do it again, and
so on. The last DD214 should show all the service and the breaks and
will be the *official* one.
