How Many DD214's Do You Claim?

[Markedup]

This thread in General Firearms suggests my question.

Thanks

Mark

And, do we say "Thank you for your service"( sum total),
or, "Thank you for your services".

Just to be on the safe side I'm claiming zero.

Check the orriginal thread.

I would suppose that there are several if not many on here that can claim to have received multiple DD-214's and for a variety of reasons. I actually received three. The first when I was discharged as a E5 to be appointed as a Warrant Officer WO1. The second when I was discharged as a CW2 and commissioned as a 2LT in the Infantry. And my third and final one when I separated from active duty as a 1LT U.S.Army Infantry. Only the third one tells the complete story though and is my official service record.

One for me recorded at the courthouse in June of 1990.

I have three. One from Active Duty 1979-1985. One from the Kosovo Crisis. One for a year on AD after 9/11. Copies filed with my local VA office and county clerk. Currently locked up in my Safe Deposit Box.

Zero. My mother had one.

I have two, one for the four years of "regular" Army, and the second for the 4 years in the Indiana National Guard.

Claim?

 

[possum_128]

I don't "claim" one but I possess one for service in the Army.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Just one. I also filed it at my hometown courthouse, although until this thread popped up I completely forgot about that. I've got my original issued one in my gun safe and so far *knock on wood* I've never lost it.

 

[Lectric102002]

Just one. Issued at Camp Pendleton, CA, on 5 March 1971.

How/why do you "file" a dd-214 with a courthouse?

 

[MoparMan]

Claim-None
Received-Mulitple
And thank you for your service is fine, in which I always reply with thank you for your support!
(even though it doesn't need to be said, this is the career path that some of us chose and we don't need to be thanked for it.

Just one that I know of. I did do the voluntary naval reserve for about 9 months after I got out on active, but it was a joke & waist of taxpayers money so I told them I wasn't coming back.

And you got out just like that? No AWOL?

I did my 4 years active, I did not have to do active reserve. All I had to do was my 4 years inactive reserve.

Ok, inactive reserve. I though you left the Navy Reserve. My bad.
