What documentation is there to validate an individuals enlistment in the service?
The answer is the form number… DD-214 (Department of Defense), generally referred to as discharge papers that are issued to every serviceperson who has separated from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard. Its proper name is Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. A DD-214 is created in eight copies. Distribution of those copies include two (#1 & #4) for the serviceperson. The problem is that there are 22 boxes for information on Copy #1 and there are 30 boxes for information on Copy #4. It is on Copy #4 that the serviceperson’s “character of service” is listed, along with codes that further describe the serviceperson’s enlistment and reasons for separation from military service. In fact, there are three different codes that can be included in one or more of these additional boxes. The SPD (Separation Program Designator)code (Box 26) or the SPN (Separation Program Number) code and the RE (Re-Entry) code (Box 27), also the NROS (Narrative Reason of Separat
