Its official, DD-214's are NOW Online.

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214s online: http://vetrecs.archives.gov/     This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes.  NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files.  Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents.  Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site. Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized.  The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records center's mailroom processing time.



Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may know and their dependents.

About time...

About time.... This coupled with the new ruling that Vets can hire lawyers in preparing and disputing VA claims, things are finally starting to change. Now if only they can keep that data secure and not have an identity spillage, we'll all be okay

OOHRAH this is something that will be of great importance to our fellow former military members....:) Semper fi
 
Just an FYI -

A friend has been advised by the VA of an organization calling itself
Veterans Affairs Services (VSA). This organization is gathering
personal
information on Veterans under a VA services website. This organization
is not affiliated with the VA in any way and in reality is a private
company based in California. It describes itself as a nonprofit
Veteran's service organization but they are actually affiliated with the
Military Financial Planning association. They may be gaining access to
military personnel
through their close resemblance to the VA name and seal. VA's legal
counsel has requested we inform our installations, particularly
mobilization sites of this group and their lack of affiliation or
endorsement by VA to provide any services.

In addition, if you have any examples of VAS acts such as VAS employees
assisting Veterans in the preparation and presentation of claims for
benefits, please pass these on to Michael.Daugherty2@va.gov, (202)
273-8636.
Mr. Daugherty is a Staff Attorney with the Department of Veterans
Affairs here in Washington D.C.
