I'm not sure about that. Sounds like a Privacy Act violation to me. DD214 is subject to that as is his diagnosis from the Doc.

Well, I don't know about violations of the Privacy Act, but it would seem that the reason for his discharge would be a matter of public record.

I'm not gonna swear to it but I do not think that is the case. Type of discharge is public record, reason for discharge is another matter, I believe. I was in personnel in the Navy and prepared a fair amount of paperwork including DD124s. When I was in, the top, "original" copy (carbon paper back then)of the DD214 did not have that info on it. The extended footer-type part on the second copy had that info. Not for public eyes, if I remember correctly. Maybe someone can help me out.
