I did the 3rd renewal online 1/12/12. I had to mail them a copy of my DD214 to get the veteran's discount. They reused my old picture and finger prints. It showed up today. These new ones are fancy looking! ( I should have claimed the "old folks" discount, I wouldn't have had to send them anything.)
Congrats to the others, especially the 1st timers!
