There are 2 'versions' of the DD-214, at least *I* have 2.AEA wrote:Correct.......
And.....it does not have to even be a certified copy of the DD-214. Any ole copy will do, certified or non certified.
One has your discharge type and other information on it, the other lacks this information in the bottom box. I suppose that they did this so that you can have one to give people/employers/etc with less personal info on it, for whatever reason.
Make sure you send them the one WITH the additional information, that specifically states your type of discharge in it. I sent the one without it first, and had to send them the additional information.
