Those are typical remarks Dudly tried to put
down in here. He wants to diminish ANY accomplishments of others
that he deems are his "opponents."
Well, he failed there, too. Now he has Tweedle Dave and Tweedle Buzz
fighting his fights for him.

LAPD are
fussy about imitators here, even IN the entertainment industry,
and DO do things about those who are pretenders.
So do Marines.

A DD 214 form has been relatively unchanged
in 50 years,
While I was hashing out Kerry's record with Dave Hall (N3CVJ) it
became obvious that the DD-214 was used for both discharges -and-
transfers until around 1980 (official title: "Report of Transfer or
Discharge"). That's how the Rove/Bush campaign managed to confuse the
public regarding Kerry's service -- using shill blogs (and sheople
like N3CVJ) to suggest that Kerry's records were somehow forged or
faked. Anyway, Gunny Robeson should have more than one DD-214. Dudly
has claimed to have only one. Looks like he flunked again.
I was referring to the general nature of the form. :-)
My bad.
Can't help you on later editions. My single DD-214 form is dated
1 Jul 52 and was filled in at Fort Sheridan, IL, in February 1956.
Back then its title was "Report of Separation From the Armed Forces
of the United States."
One of Kerry's DD-214's (filled out 15 Dec. 66) was edition 1 NOV 55,
and states that it "replaces edition of 1 JUL 52". Looks like your
admin clerk took an extra-long Christmas vacation.....;-)

I carry around a credit-card-size reduction of my DD-214 for fun,
have used it as local proof (needs a magnifying glass to see the
detail). Once got into a conversation with a Vietvet at a party
who had gotten a similar laminated reduction...he got out in '74...
we compared forms and they seemed to be very nearly identical.
Hey, that's a neat idea! I gotta do that, keep it right next to my
Blue Nose card.

I have a microfiche copy of both my SRB and medical records. They were
sent to me after my final discharge. It's pretty hard to retouch a
hundred or so pages crammed onto a 4' x 5' negative.
Ow! Mass-reduction 'fiche! I'm used to the "IBM punch card 'fiche"
which have only one image on the card, for drawings...or the library
style 'fiche film reels, one newspaper-page-size image per frame.
The reels are bad enough, but the 4x5..... I can't even read it by
scanning it at 1200 dpi! I would have to take it to a photo shop and
have it enlarged.
