Thanks for the reply.

I am not eligible for any veteran’s benefits, so don’t see the need in keeping up with a dd214 any more.

But you are right, just go to your state’s website on real ID, and the list of acceptable docs is very long. Go in prepared with your docs, and you are done in less than 15 minutes. The folks that have always gotten their way in the past by throwing a fit will NOT get their way this time.

here is the link that will tell you how to get a copy of your DD214 for free since it’s a basic military record.

I don’t get veterans benefits either, but you should definitely have a DD214. Not being able to prove service can become problematic for any or no reason at all, with no notice.

Its the government after all.

Thank you for your service, and Merry Christmas!

You may be, especially a VA Loan. How old are you and do you have hearing problems, did you serve in Vietnam?
