Applying for CHL as a veteran

[Oldgringo]

Howdy all!

This past Saturday, (20 Jun 09) I took my CHL course. But my application has no place on it for me to apply with the 'veteran' status. I asked my instructor about how to fill it out properly and he wasn't sure.

Thanks!

Is it just me, or is this something every instructor should know?

If you google "DD-214", you'll find a link to the web sites where you can request a new DD-214. There's a different site for each branch of service.

Seems it only took a couple of weeks when I requested mine last year.

Interesting... I figured it would be a lot more of a pain to do it...

According to the Wiki article on it, it is not possible to get a replacement "Member 4" copy of it though... I guess that was what I received all those years ago, but at the time, I really didn't pay much attention to it...

Interestingly, when I was injured in a motorcycle accident a short time after getting out, the paramedics shipped me off to the VA hospital automatically... I was unconscious, they saw my dog tags, and figured that the VA was a good place for me, I guess... Best I remember, they never asked to see my DD-214 either... They had my SSN from my dog tags, so I guess that was all they really needed...
