I separated in 1980 and easily got my DD-214 the same way. Took no time at all.bblhd672 wrote:I got out of Navy in 1983.

Two were by methods advised here on this forum. So far, none have been successful. The application just seems to fade away into oblivion and no one knows anything about it and I'm told to do another one. I think the only thing I haven't tried yet is a paid service and it hasn't been that important yet to go that route.
Amazon might be tough to beat.

Why in the world do we even need a BX system for folks in the U.S.? Government doing what should be done by private business. I can see it if you are stationed in Turkey or some other overseas place but a BX or Commissary on a U.S. base is just a taxpayer expense. Pay the service people a little more and close this silly system down. The commissary at every base I was at always had inferior meats and produce compared to the civilian stores. Paper towels are paper towels everywhere.
