To obtain a DD Form 217AF, which is the Air Force's version of the separation document, you typically need to contact the appropriate personnel office or the military service branch you are affiliated with. If you've already separated from the service, you can request a copy through the National Archives or the eBenefits website. Ensure you have your service details handy, as they may ask for personal information to verify your identity.
No, mental illness is not diagnosed with the issuance of DD Form 217AF. The DD Form 217AF is a military form used for specific administrative purposes, such as documenting certain aspects related to military service. Mental illness diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified mental health professional using clinical assessment tools rather than administrative forms.
PERHAPS THE DD 217AF IS NO LONGER ISSUED BY THE AIR FORCE OR IS NO LONGER ACCEPTED BY SOME ENTITIES AS PROOF OF HONORABLE SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES MILITARY,NOT SURE, HOWEVER, I CARRIED AND USED MY DD217AF FOR OFFICIAL ID SINCE THE MID 60's AND DID NOT HAVE A DD214 COPY UNTIL THE 2000 TEENS! THE DD214 DOES HAVE A GREAT DEAL MORE INFO, BUT HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED THAT ADDITIONAL INFO....PROOF SHOULD BE PROOF!
