Its official, DD-214's are NOW Online.
http://www.archives.gov/veterans/evetrecs/index.html ^

Posted on 04/27/2006 12:00:15 PM PDT by BulletBobCo

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214s online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov/ This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files. Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents. Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized. The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records center's mailroom processing time.

Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may know and their dependents.

You all may need this at some point. I know of a Senator that should take advantage of this. The website has other records you can request too.

Only if you're 'Himself', or his next-of-f***ing-kin.

I just ordered mine, just for S&Gs. The last step is signing a request and snail-mailing it to the NPRC.

The only thing on line is the form used to request the documents.

I actually registered an official copy of my DD-214 at the county courthouse. In case anything ever happens to me, my wife will need this document for all kinds of reasons. An attorney told me it was smart to do this and only cost a couple of dollars if I remember correctly. Just some friendly advice from one old retired Brother to another.

Cool! Maybe now I can get a copy of my dad's service record that my mother has so far refused to let me have a copy of!

If you weren't such a nice guy, it might be your ex-wife in the safe and you wouldn't have to give it to anyone! ;)

I'd rather not be imprisoned. Those CSI guys always catch the bad guy.


I like how you think, though!
