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.

I wonder when the name changed. Mine is "CERTIFICATE OF RELEASE OR
DISCHARGE FROM ACTIVE DUTY". This is the Nov 88 version, but I don't
think the name's changed.
