Reference to showing your 214... If you copy the form.. which if you use it for applications etc. You have SEVERAL copies. Black out your SSN and other immediate personal stuff. I'd keep visible name, rank, service, EAS and Discharge type .. Thats all.. I understand the "sensitive" nature of SOME info.. however, I can attest from being in Military groups.. We see a ton of forged documents and it is consistent that a 214 is the hardest to forge, change, or alter without looking suspect.
Whoever runs this group, approves the badge etc.. Would have the right to view this document ONLY.. Its logistical stuff guys.. As stated before DONT hammer this to death. Its a special privilege to serve your country.. Its another shot to be proud and display it. For those who couldn't serve, I am sorry. On a personal note, I will say, because you couldn't serve I don't think it should be a limit or restriction to a "Veterans badge" as this forum/ post was originally about. We can always consider this, or you can show your support in your Signature.. The idea is NOT able thanking EVERYONE who supports, likes, or wanted to be Military.. Its for those, WHO DID serve. Those who HAD to go to bad places and see bad things.. TRUST ME, I am more than proud of my service and MOST of it I wouldn't give up. But there are things that have come through my life that I wouldn't wish on any person.. regardless of reason.
*** WITH THIS POST, I ask, for a call to vote (or whatever motion is needed), to get this to admin for approval or denial? So we can move on it or squash it.
I will be MORE than glad to help out with this usergroup or do whatever is needed. Thanks
