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,... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1622670/posts#comment Thu, 27 Apr 2006 19:00:15 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1415392/posts Veterans, I have a question. An associate of mine cannot locate his DD214. I looked at mine to see where another could be retrieved, but didn't see anything about that subject. Do any of you know where this can be accomplished by a phone call? If not, a web address probably would work. He needs to prove his veteran status for a fairly sensitve line of work. Thanx. HOOAH!

The only DD-214 provided is the one that discharged Kerry, for the purpose of accepting his commission as an officer. This is not the DD-214 that Kerry would have received upon his discharge after returning from Vietnam. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1266450/posts#comment Tue, 2 Nov 2004 16:41:24 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1263406/posts Had a thought tonight. Kerry is a Life Member of VVA (Vietnam Veterans of America). VVA fell out of VVAW. When folks join VVA, they are required to furnish their DD-214. I wonder if there is a copy of that lovely form anywhere on record in the VVA offices???? Anyone know??? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1263406/posts#comment Sun, 31 Oct 2004 05:47:26 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1263403/posts Had a thought tonight.

Why does J Effin Kerry's 214 indicate he was discharged as an Ensign, wasn't he a LTJG? Someone? Anyone?

Chicago Tribune editor William B. Rood came out last week as an eyewitness to the events of Feb. 28, 1969, bolstering Mr. Kerry's version of events, as have official Naval records. Though Mr. Kerry has had to backtrack on at least two of his accounts -- the "Christmas in Cambodia" story and whether he really deserved his first Purple Heart -- the day when Mr. Kerry beached his swift...

The focus has been on his falsification of events in 1968 and 1969. He never expected this and, as an arrogant elitist, didn't take early steps to defend against it.What Kerry has been worried... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1196519/posts#comment Sun, 22 Aug 2004 00:54:00 GMT
