I have 2 DD0214's. The 1st was when I was discharged to accept my commission out of OCS, and the 2nd was when I was discharged from active duty and reverted to reserve status. On both forms, one with an effective date listed next to the DD Form 214 lettering bottom left of 1 Jan 67 and the other effective 1 Jul 70 both show the type of discharge in block 13a if that helps.

If you have the Honorable Discharge Certificate (DD Form 256A) I am sure that would also be accepted as proof as the say DD 214 or other proof.

Thanks for all of the input. I do have a copy of my long form DD-214. In fact, I have 2, one discharging me from my enlisted status to accept my commission and the other when I was ultimately discharged from active duty. Veteran status will be the way I go as there is a big difference in the fee.

Is there any age restriction or limit to the time that has passed since one served in the Armed Forces to qualify for the Veterans discount? Does it get discounted further for also being a "senior"?

I am 68 and served in Vietnam getting out in 1972. What would my fee be:

$70 for Seniors?
$25 for veterans? or
$12.50 combing the Veterans fee with a 50% senior discount?

Thanks!
