Separation Day Document For Free

The report of separation form issued in most recent years is the DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. Before January 1, 1950, several similar forms were used by the military services, including the WD AGO 53, WD AGO 55, WD AGO 53-55, NAVPERS 553, NAVMC 78PD and the NAVCG 553.

What is a DD214? The Defense Department issues to each veteran a DD-214, identifying the veteran's condition of discharge - honorable, general, other than honorable, dishonorable or bad conduct. You can find a sample DD-214 which can help you determine if a veteran served in armed combat HERE.

All of the copies of a DD214 are identical and equally valid, except the so-called, short, or deleted copy, which is the copy 1.

"A termination letter should provide a straightforward reason for separation, required information helpful to the former employee, a signature of the HR professional and little more. This letter should not have any emotions, opinions or apologies."

The information displayed on a DD-214 includes: Date and place of release from active duty. Home address after separation. Last duty assignment and rank. Military job specialty (MOS)
