I have been all through several .gov web sites. They all allude to the fact that you can, but so far I have not been able to. Any help will be appreciated. | ||

The DD214s themselves are not online. Order them here. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I believe you can ORDER it online, but you'll receive a copy via US Mail. At least that's what happened when I got my dad's DD 214. JALLEN was faster on the keyboard. Plus he provided a link...  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I've had to order them twice in the last 20+ years. Each time I get one, it is barely legible throughout the doc and in some places, unreadable. Good luck! Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

My dad was older!  Actually, this is an issue for us right now. Years ago, I ordered my dad’s records. I got a fax saying “send $60” which I did. I received what they had, training records from Midshipman School in New York summer 1943, no discharge, no record of commission, service, ships, etc. We would like to place my folks’ ashes at Ft. Sam, but without more than we have, it’s no deal. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way.

I imagine that there's going to be quite a few requests for DD214's. Starting Nov. 11, vets, regardless of time in service will be able to shop at the Exchanges on line. I'm sure a 214 will be one of the items required for verification of service. | |||

Unfortunately, my father's service records were destroyed in the July 1973 National Personnel Records Center fire.  About the fire. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Check the county recorder, they may have a lost DD 214. When I got out (1971) "someone" told me to give them a copy, which I did. I now live 1000 miles away but also filed a copy in my current county. It's possible (likely?) older guys (like our dads) did the same 70+ years ago. | |||

Also check with your State’s National Guard Adjutant General or Military Affairs Department. They usually got one of the copies of the DD214 or the WW2 Discharge Papers for personnel who listed their home state at the time of enlistment/discharge. This helped for folks who lost records at the St Louis fire. --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

Dang! I love the benefits of Sigforum membership. Thank you for posting! It was easy enough to get verified. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I had to have my lost dd214 replaced to satisfy USAA after my wife switched us to USAA. Touchstone Research Group did a good job of expediting the research and forwarding of my service records. They are pricey but it worked. There are many negative reviews on these guys. In my case, it worked out. YMMV _________________ This space left intentionally blank. | |||

I took mine to the Alameda County Courthouse when I got out. They gave me five free copies and entered it into the archives. I'm glad I did-I've been able to retrieve copies fairly quickly for a couple of bucks a pop. | |||

I was accepted early to test this set-up. It works pretty well and gives you access to all the different Exchange system. ( AAFES, Marine Corps Exchange, etc....) Pricing on some items are pretty good, others not so much. “Government exists to protect us from each other.
