Yes a DD214 will show if they have ever been in the service with type of discharge.

My point is, during the Vietnam draft era many draftees (service number prefix “US” - I was RA) had real bad attitudes and were constantly in trouble and many knew first hand what an Article 15 was. Constant bitching and defying authority when ever possible made being around these people unbearable.
I suspect those people of yesterday are no different today and would fit perfectly into one of those California vet organizations.
