BTW, you can write to get an official copy of your DD214. I noticed on the web some records were burning in a fire and mine fit the affected dates.

I found an address on the web and went to the site and found out how to get copies. I have TWO DD214s. One from a short and reup and the second from the second enlistment. Got both of them.

You can also get copies of your BC from your states DNR (I think). Did that too. I also got a copy of my SS card. I hated the process but it is still doable.

I got my RealID quickly because I read the instructions and requirements and had all the stuff needed. Easy.

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.
