IN fact....Everyone needs to look at this because I believe it is BOGUS! It appears to start out being the DD214 issued when his orders were changed to go to Officers Indoctrination and all the Vietnam stuff was added to it! This is so obvious, how did we miss it??? Can someone show that document here???
Wrong. Kerry had two DD214's. The first one you cited is when he was discharged from the Reserves as an OCIU2 and accepted his commission as an Ensign on 16 Dec 2004. Kerry enlisted on 18 Feb 1966 as an OCSA (E-2), USNR (inactive) and commenced active duty on 19 Aug 1966 when he entered OCS.
The second DD214 covers Kerry's service from Dec 16, 1966 to Jan 3, 1970. Check this out (both DD214s):

When was the second DD214 typed?
Yes. I saw that and decided not to post that, but to my dismay I realized later that it did post! Duh! So I asked the mod to delete it. The entry on the 1st page for the service medal is what had begun to throw me, plus the fact that there was a reference to a second page on one of them, the deleted date on the second page, the different type set on the same page, etc. But I realized they were two separate DD214. Thanks for mentioning it though. :) Is that post still there? Sheesh! LOL.
Not another forged document? How could this be?
