The form DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, is issued to a service member when he/she separates or retires from active duty military service. Your “character of service” will be documented in Block 24 of your final DD 214 form. The DD 214 is a mission critical document for veterans to obtain because it’s the sole authority used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to verify a veterans military service and character of discharge for VA benefits.Ī veteran is not eligible for VA benefits until his/her character of service has been fully adjudicated and formally documented on the DD 214. Thanks to the new and improved milConnect website, veterans can now download a copy of their DD 214 online in just a few simple steps.
