All got DD214s


That’s a lot more than hunter Biden ever got.

Instead of dreaming of “beating the hell� out of Trump, maybe Joe should’ve done something about his own kid, like, pay attention to him while he was growing up...

I absently left Wayne and Bill out of the headers list of DD214 recipients. My apologies gentlemen...

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.

You should have received an original DD-214 when you were discharged
assuming you were discharged after 1950 and were not a reservist who was
never called up for active duty.

It would have been one of eight "originals" and it *is* the actual
discharge or separation from service document.

Many of us loose track of it over the years. I did and had to contact
the DOD archives to get replacement copies.

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

*All* discharged members of the Air Force, Navy, Marines, USCG and Army
who served on active duty since 1950 receive an original form DD-214.
It is the official record of your military service. Before 1950 each
service had their own, unique separation forms.

The DD-214 is issued in two forms ... the "long" form and a "short"
form. The long form contains more detailed information but the short
form is used for most requests for verification of service.

DD Form 256 (Honorable Discharge Certificate) or DD Form 257 (General
Discharge Certificate) are issued for those who serve in the reserves
and are not called up for active duty. Reservists who are not federally
deployed do not receive a DD-214 and are not eligible for veteran's
benefits unless they were injured during scheduled training exercises
and file a claim with the VA.

There is a form called the DD-215 which is used to correct any errors
on the original DD-214.

The DD-214 contains the following info as a minimum:

Date and place of entry into active duty
Home address at time of entry
Date and place of release from active duty
Home address after separation
Last duty assignment and rank
Military job specialty
Military education
Decorations, medals, badges, citations, and campaign awards
Total creditable service
Foreign service credited
Separation information (type of separation, character of service,
authority and reason for separation, separation and reenlistment
eligibility codes)


When you are discharged, here's how the originals are disbursed:

A DD Form 214/215 is prepared in eight copies and distributed as follows:

Copy 1 – Service Member
Copy 2 – Service Personnel File
Copy 3 – United States Department of Veterans Affairs
Copy 4 – Member (if initialed in Block 30)
Copy 5 – United States Department of Labor
Copy 6 – State Director of Veteran Affairs
Copy 7 & 8 – Distributed in accordance with Military Service
Department directions (shredded and retain)

In my case, I have *two* DD-214's and one DD-256.

The first DD-214 was for my original enlistment of four years which
was shortened to 2 and a half years when I was accepted into a program
to change my rating from Radioman to Electronics Technician. I was
discharged (on a ship at sea) and then immediately sworn back in. The
second DD-214 was issued in 1977 when I completed the second active duty
contract plus a two month extension "for the convenience" of the
government. :-)

Then, unsure of what the future held, I signed up for 2 years in the
Naval Reserves and was issued the DD-256 when the contract was complete.

Bottom line is ... unless Bill and Greg are a lot older than they admit
to or joined the Air Force and Coast Guard when they were barely out of
diapers, somewhere they have a DD-214. :-)

Fat Harry must have recieved a DD69 after being relieved of his
obligation to serve his country. (Strike that. Our
country)
