Nope. Active Duty, save for the Delayed Entry Program.
Is your delayed entry period on your DD Form 214? I mean, would it be
on there if you had one?
I have several DD214's.
All of them have the word "Honorable" on them without exception or
qualifier.
Tsk, you could have HUNDREDS of DD-214 forms...all blank. Kinko's
and other printing services (such as "job printer" independents)
can do such work a minimal cost.
So far, none of us have seen "yours" as filled out by authorities.
A DD-214 (filled out by authorities) has always been, and remains,
a RELEASE FROM ACTIVE DUTY. It was NEVER a "discharge" document.
Each military branch of the United States has their own discharge
from all military service and those are different forms.
A close look at the upper right hand corner will show "Condition
of Release" as it pertains to the DD-214. That refers to the
RELEASE FROM ACTIVE DUTY. RELEASE, not discharge.
So far, none of us have been able to see what is on "yours."
Here's the drill:
1. Take your (filled out by authorities) DD-214 to a scanner.
If you had later changes to the DD-214, take along your
DD-215 form (filled out by authorities) as well.
2. If you have none of "yours" available, go to the NARA
website and order a duplicate (they have forms for doing
it by surface mail). The cost is minimal, even to one
on a disability pension.
3. Make the scanned digital copy file available for
inspection by anyone, either posting it to your home page
or sending it as an attachment to e-mail directly to
those requesting a copy.
Following that simple 3-step process fully will end the endless
foul invectives you've hurled at all those challengers in
trying to avoid showing the truth for seven years.
Failure to comply will only result in all of us affirming that
you are nothing but an Imposter, a scam artist, a con-man, a
poseur, an imitator who is casting dishonor on the Corps.
