DD 214 is the form for discharge papers (I think for all of the US armed forces).

The guys are looking at the destroyer USS Tracy (DD-214).

I assume it's supposed to be a clever reference to the guys wanting to get out of the military (get their DD214) and the fact that they are "so close and yet so far" from the ship DD-214.
