It is a code on your DD214 that tells someone able to read the codes whether you were honorably discharged or type of discharge you earned.
Take your DD214 to the VA for computation and filing for benefits. It depends on length of service , type of discharge , and any disability rating .
DD214 is the discharge form. DD256 is the discharge certificate.
The DD214 (US Military Discharge) has an awards/decorations section where all would be listed
Your DD214, which can be obtained through the Department of Veterans' Affairs details your service and discharge.
I'm not really sure what you are asking about, but the US Defense Department Form DD214 is the report of the discharge of a member of the Armed Forces. It lists his dates of service, his rank, any medals, commendations or punishments, and the nature of his discharge.
You can request a copy of your discharge papers (DD Form 214) from the National Archives. You can also contact the Department of Defense or your branch's personnel department for assistance in obtaining your discharge status.
No. Reservist get discharge orders. Dd214's states that it is a release from active duty. I've had to learn this the hard way searching for my own.
On google type in Military records and select a Government site. There is no charge for copies of your discharge or dd214 so don't respond to one of the "free" sites that asks you for money once you're there. It is a government site and it is free.
If you have an RE4 reentry code on your DD214, the chances are pretty much nil.
Basically anyone that has a DD214. This document includes the service record and discharge information for the veteran.
If you want to re-enlist in the military, take your DD214's to a recruiter and have them file an appeal with the Department of Defense about your discharge. The recruiter will let you know what the DoD is requiring you to do to get back in the service. The other thing to do would be file an appeal with the Department of Defense on your discharge. There is no way to change your enlistment code on your DD214's because that would be considered fraud.
