8 years after I enlisted in the Army, too much time in Iraq, too many injuries sustained, and too many friends lost I receive this piece of paper. It doesnt do it all justice but it is an excellent way to close that chapter of my life.

Congrats!

Now go post your DD214 to your county records office and get a handful of original, certified copies of it. That one you got is the only one you need to show when they're looking for it.

Very cool!  That should really help you in the private sector.  I have found former military personnel to be excellent employees.  And of course, thank you for your service and sacrifice for helping to protect my freedoms and safety!

Thanks for the posts everybody!!! It is nice to know that people actually care out there.

 I must have ten copies of my DD214 that I got from my JAG office. I have copies in my flood/fire safe... copies at my parents house, copies at my in-laws house. Have to make sure to keep those safe, I have heard some horror stories about people trying to get a new one after they have lost it.

Plus there's one copy, the one with all the extra boxes at the bottom, that you won't get if you request a new 214. That version in your paw is the only one you get. Dunno why but that's the way it is, apparently. I believe it's the -4 copy.
