  Question
  How can I obtain proof of my military service?
  Answer
 

Social Security often needs to have proof of military service.  The DD-214 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) is the document most often used as proof of military service.

The SF-180 is the form completed for this request.  You can make an online request for proof of military service  from the National Archives.   See How to Request Military Service Records or Prove Military Service for more information.
