REPLY CONCERNING MILITARY RECORDS RE:

The reply to the inquiry will be found in the checked item(s). If you write to us again on this subject, please return your original request, this form, and any other form you complete.

1 Copies of requested military ☐ personnel ☐ medical records are attached. We suggest you make an extra copy and guard against loss or damage. We regret if any photocopies may be of poor quality, but they are the best copies obtainable.

☐ The attached separation document may include the following information: authority for separation, reason for separation, Reenlistment Eligibility Code, and Separation (SPN/SPD) Code. If you require a copy of the separation document that does not contain the above information, you may request a deleted copy from this Center. A seal has been affixed to the enclosed copy to attest to its authenticity.

☐ Title 32, Part 45 of the Code of Federal Regulations prohibits this Center from providing to third parties copies of separation documents which contain the type and character of discharge, authority and narrative reason for separation, reenlistment eligibility code, and separation program designator/number. If you require a copy of the separation document containing the above information, the veteran must specifically authorize the release to you of an UNDELETED copy of the separation document.

☐ The Privacy Act of 1974 does not permit the release of a social security number or other personal information to the public without the authorization of the veteran concerned; therefore, we have deleted personal identifying data relating to other persons.

☐ Since September 1979 the military service departments have not issued individual separation documents for each enlistment period if the person was discharged for immediate reenlistment. Block 18 of the DD Form 214 issued at final separation reflects the full period of continuous active military service.

☐ The Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) Code issued upon release from active duty on __________ is __________.

☐ The reason and authority for separation from active duty/discharge on __________ is __________

☐ The record of service in the __________ indicates being in a POW status from __________ to __________.

☐ A discharge certificate is issued only as an original document; thus, there is no file copy from which to make a copy for you. We will obtain an appropriate substitute certificate for a veteran or surviving spouse if you will tell us whether the original was: 1) never received; or (2) lost or destroyed.

☐ The document you have requested, DD Form 214, Report of Separation, was not used until Jan. 1, 1950. However, a similar form was used at the time the person named above was separated. A copy of it is attached. A seal has been affixed to the enclosed copy to attest to its authenticity.

☐ When the person named above was separated, it was not the practice to issue a document which served as a report of separation.

☐ The original report of separation was issued at the time of separation. Another original cannot be issued. The attached copy, however, will serve the same purpose as the original.

☐ No report of separation was issued, since the person named above had no active service, or less than 90 days of active duty for training.

☐ The service record of the person named above does not contain a copy of a report of separation, or its equivalent. Therefore, we are instead providing the attached NA Form 13038, Certification of Military Service. This will serve as verification of military service and may be used for any official purpose.

☐ That portion of your request seeking medals/awards has been referred to the office checked below, which has jurisdiction over the issuance of medals/awards. Any further correspondence on this subject should be addressed to that office. Both offices are at 9700 Page Ave., St. Louis, MO 63132.

☐ ARPERCEN, Attn: DARP-VSE-A ☐ Navy Liaison Office, Room 5409 ☐ That portion of your request regarding Air Force or Army Air Corps medals will be answered under separate cover. ☐ The medical records requested ☐ The documents requested pertaining to discharge have been lent to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Please phone the VA at 1-800-827-1000 for help in obtaining these records, and provide your VA Claim Number, __________

☐ The Department of Defense Privacy Program, 32 CFR 310.30(f), allows for the disclosure of medical records to the individual to whom they pertain. A portion of the requested medical records, however, contains information which can be interpreted and explained properly only by a physician. If you wish us to send copies to a designated physician, please provide us with the name and address of that physician. The request MUST INCLUDE the written consent (signature) of the person whose records are involved, authorizing the release of the records to the designated physician.
