DD-214′s are NOW Online

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 20:04:40 +0000

Please Note The Current Information Regarding DD-214.

It’s official; DD-214′s are NOW OnlineThe National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the following web site for veterans to gain access to their DD-214′s

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 mailroom and processing time.

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

ReEntry

In 2008, Emily Ackerman and KJ Sanchez began interviewing Marines returning from Afghanistan and Iraq as well as their families. Both are sisters of veterans – KJ has five brothers who served in the military during the Vietnam War and Emily has two brothers (USMC) who have served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. Having a personal investment as they do, it was vital to them that ReEntry sidestep the politics and instead find out what the experience of returning home is like for these remarkable men and women, and to ask how we – as families, as a culture, a society, and as a country – can help. All the dialogue in this play was taken directly from interviews with combat veterans and their families. Variety stated ReEntry has “Raw power. Searing impact.”

“ReENTRY is an inspiring, funny, and authentic depiction of real people dealing with the emotional fallout of war. It pierces the veil of stoicism and reveals the humanity in Marines struggling to overcome bearing witness to human carnage.” – Lynne Van Trieste Mother of a combat wounded Marine Recovery Care Coordinator Wounded Warrior Battalion – West Camp Pendleton

“Absolutely the best show I’ve ever seen! Thank you for coming to Quantico to treat us … I will be seeing this again in Baltimore before you leave town! Thank you for taking such incredibly touching material and making it available in such a non-partisan manner! EXCELLENT!” - A Marine at USMC base Quantico
