Whenever I got a prior service applicant that tried to come back in the DD 214 Its A Veteran Thing You Wouldnt Understand T Shirt. Even if it said reentry code of 1 (fully eligible) honorable discharge, and a separation code of LBK or MBK completion of service. I still had to run their name through the DMDC to see what the real deal was. DMDC is the Defense Manpower Database Center for all military personnel Am I missing something? This SPN codes on DD-214 should be covered by the Privacy Act which is not made available to anyone without the permission of the separated service member or recruitment personnel. When I worked at the U.S. Census Bureau in Suitland, Maryland, an emplyee’s Official Personnel Folder (OPF) had two sections in it. One section was a sanitized version which had official documents such as SF-50’s and One Day I Will Start Behaving Myself Unicorn ONE Day T Shirt. The other section had Supervisor’s remarks which could damage the employee’s promotion potential. The latter section could not be viewed by the employee. Fast forward to the mid-1990’s. I had a position in an Inspector General’s office where I had access to privacy data and every six months I required to take training class as well as sign a document that I understood what constituted privacy data and acknowedge the harsh penalties for disclosing such data. It was then I learned at that time the practice of having a separate section of the OPF had become illegal (and the Census Bureau was abiding with the law). From what I understand about the Privacy Act regarding Federal Civil Service employees, it boggles my mind the SPN information is available to the public. If the original intent of posting SPN data on DD-214 involves reenlistment factors, the information should be available only to recruitment personnel on an need-to-know basis. I served in the Navy.

The anthrax vaccination was a mandatory vaccination all sailors were required to take. I took the vaccination, and DD 214 Its A Veteran Thing You Wouldnt Understand T Shirt . They were so bad that I couldn’t sleep. I left my berthing one night and had to walk around on the quarter deck because I was in so much pain. I was caught by a CPO, and was written up. I had watch the next night, was told to stay in the berthing and at dark thirty, I had to report to the quarter deck for watch. Some shipmates walked into the berthing and were talking loud. I told them to shut up. One of them walked over and dared me to say it again. I did, and it caused a fight. The next morning the Chief asked me what happened. I told her, but I still had to go to Captain’s Mast. At Captain’s Mast, I got 30 days restriction to the ship, barred from promotion for 6 months, and a 3 month stifling of payment. In other words I didn’t get paid for 3 months! A seabag inspection came up a month later and I was expected to buy new overalls, and 5th Grade Math Square Root Of 25 Back To School T-Shirt. I had no way to buy them because I was not getting paid for 3 months. I told the Petty Officer I couldn’t afford those items. She grabbed me by the arm and marched me to legal. I was told my discharge was good paper. It was a general under honorable conditions discharge with misconduct, and a reenlistment code of RE-4. I have no VA benefits and I can’t get a job making decent money. That happened in 1999 and 2000.
