Location Of Promotion Orders

[DieselKid]

I am curious as I have been out of the military for over 20 years. Within the last week of my service, my First Sergeant said that he had my orders cut for my E-4 rank and would pin it on me IF I were to re-enlist. At that point, I was ready to move on to the civilian world. I was recently told that IF my orders for promotion were cut, it should be a "standing order" and still be legitimate. I have found the military site for ACTIVE soldiers and their ranks, but I have yet to locate one where VETERANS can access(and even amend) their previous records. I will admit that my DD-214 is lacking many of my weapons qualifications(I was a Cavalry Scout), and I believe that the CLERK who signed me out was just wanting to get "one more" person processed as quickly as possible. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for anyone's input!

I believe they are found at he National Archives in College Park, Maryland and I don't believe they can be found online. I've been to the archives, there, and it's amazing the records that are found there. jmo

DD214s can be corrected via filing a DD 149 form available here under a search.

Do you have a complete copy of your 201 personnel file?

Maybe that holds what you are looking for.

i know you can amend your dd 214 because i did it. just don't remember how. think berta has the right answer. you do have to include evidence plus the proper form to have the 214 amended.
