Welcome Aboard Doc Crow.......

This should Help You.....Just Follow this link...


This page with tell you how you can obtain your DD214 for free. There is a lot of information here and it can be time consuming. We realize that some people find it easier to have someone do it for them or need help. We have come across a company that does provide DD214 requests. You can find that company by clicking HERE. Now there are other companies out there but be careful as some of them are only trying to take advantage of veterans. This was the best service and the best price that we have found.
You can request your FREE DD214 from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) using the following information below. Follow the insructions carefully on how to fill out the request! Turnaround times for records requested from the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) vary greatly depending on the nature of the request. For example, the NPRC Military Records Facility currently has a backlog of over 200,000 requests and receives approximately 5,000 requests daily. Routine requests for separation statements currently require 4-5 weeks for servicing. The average turnaround time on all requests is currently 14-16 weeks; however, requests that involve reconstruction efforts due to the 1973 fire may take much longer.



With access to a printer and the Adobe Acrobat Reader software available below, you may download and print a copy of the Standard Form 180 - Request Pertaining to Military Records. The Standard Form 180 is formatted for legal size paper (8.5" x 14"). Please print that way if your printer can accommodate that. If your printer can only print on letter size paper (8.5" x 11"), select "shrink to fit" when the Adobe Acrobat Reader "Print" dialog box appears.

I went to my local VA office and had my copy within a couple of hours. No charge. That's what the VA is there for.

If you have a VA record, they have a copy. If you never filed for VA benefits they won't.
