Under privacy provisions of FOIA, access to DD214’s is restricted to the veteran or next of kin.
When I read stolen valor, the authors , when uncovering dozens of valor thieves, gave very clear instructions on how they submitted foias to uncover the thieves. It was all they did.
Perhaps the law has changed.
Yes,I would think that a person’s military records would enjoy special privacy protection.
My husband’s DD214 does not state where he was stationed - only the base where he last served and was discharged - McClellan AFB 1962..He was sent to Iceland after basic in TX and school in MS. Must be changed some time after 1962?
