A DIGITAL DD 214 IS ON ITS WAY

摘要

The days of having to keep a tidy copy of your discharge paperwork to prove you were in the service could be coming to an end. The Defense Department is working on creating a fully electronic version of the seminal DD 214 document, which would give veterans access to all of their information and cut down on the privacy concerns raised by the current form. The goal is to bring the new forms online by 2024 at the latest. There could also be major changes to the information included on the form, as well as to the way its gathered, if DoD follows the recommendations of a recent Rand Corporation study on the effort.
