Reply #48: My DD214 is in a safe deposit box [View All]

and it was filed at the court house in Brevard Co. Florida so if I lose the original I can get a certified copy. I do have several copies in my files at home. Of interest, no one cares if I am a vet or not. No one asks me if I was honorably discharged. It is not as important as it used to be.

As far as not showing up for duty. Never did that, prison did not seem like the thing I wanted to do at the time. I did 3 years 10 months and 2 days of active duty. I got a 58 day early out (end of 1975) because I was accepted into a college and the USAF wanted as many people out as possible. There were big military cuts in 1975.

I do have one question, I thought anything over 30 days AWOL was desertion or am I wrong?
