Could I run into problems if my DD 214 does not say DD 214?
I held on to my original, signed DD 214 for years, then it somehow got lost. I searched all over for it. I still hope it will turn up one day, but it’s been two years with no sign of it.
The last time I had it was at the vet center where they made copies, so I asked if they could print me the copies they made. It’s got all the information on it and says DD 214, but it’s not official.
I went online and ordered an official copy. I was sent a digital copy to print off, but whoever scanned it into the system didn’t line it up properly, so the part at the bottom that actually says DD 214 is cut off. Just the top is barely showing, but if you did not know what it said you wouldn’t be able to read it. So I ordered a physical copy hoping it would be different. Nope. They just printed the digital copy and sent it. That’s all they have.
I haven’t had to officially use it since I got the replacement, but I’m worried it may cause issues if I ever do need to use it. Is this likely, or would the explanation be enough? It has all the information except the form number.
