How to obtain your DD-214 and 201 files/ papers

A DD214 is simply a military discharge and a complete 201 file includes
ALL military records as well as Medical Files. 

 
Here is a link about obtaining a DD214 and 201 files.

If you happen to be in the homeless Vet situation
we'll even volunteer our P. O. Box for an address to send it to and you can come by and pick it up when you get a chance.

 

Its official, DD-214's are NOW Online.

 
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following
website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's online:
http://vetrecs.archives.gov/
 
This may be particularly helpful when a
veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes. 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, which can be downloaded from the online web site.
Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential
for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC
has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized. The
new web-based application was designed to provide better service on
these requests by eliminating the records centers mailroom and
processing time.
 
Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may
know and their dependents.
