I didn't either, but Google is a many splendored thing.

From Wikipedia:

The DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, generally referred to as a "DD 214", is a document of the United States Department of Defense, issued upon a military service member's retirement, separation, or discharge from active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States

Damn, too late.

East Yorkshire AEC Bridge master 4708 AT passing through North bar Beverley. I wonder how many bus drivers scraped the edges on the tunnel? Not much space for errors.

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.

On this, as on so many topics, I am clueless.

When we got a new roof a couple of years ago, the roofing company offered a discount to veterans…just show them a copy of your DD 214. I did and he took a picture of it with his phone and I got the discount. Only later did I realize that now some roofer is walking around with a picture of my social security number on his phone! Uh-oh.

I'm into photography, although I don't get out and shoot as much as I'd like. I've always thought IR was pretty neat. I remember you posting about your modded camera and several pics previously. I remember as a young guy looking through photography books and seeing the IR images and thinking they were amazing. You've posted some really great IR images.

Is that first one one of Glenn's cars? :D I'm pretty sure I've heard Glenn say exactly what's printed down the side of that car.

I am going to drive past the VLA shown above this summer. I want to take the tour if they are having tours then.

Not my car, but my brother's daily driver is a 1952 VW Bug. He does have a stereo in his and he converted it to 12 volts and disk brakes in the front for some stopping power. He tried electronic ignition and it runs better with points and condenser. The challenge is buying new points that are not garbage right from the package.

My 911 does indeed have great AC, power assisted brakes, and central locking and fuel injection and power windows but none of the other modern toys on cars now
