Military Section
We will be opening a private area on the site for our current/past/retired military users. If you qualify , please email
[email protected] with a copy of your DD214 from a .mil address if you have one. If not, the staff will contact you to verify things if they need more info. All information will be deleted once you are approved and will be tagged with the staff member who approved you. Only ex military staff members (edsr, paul, 82nd, NorCal_LEO) and myself/striker (former Canadian military) will have access to the information to help with approvals. The military section will be restricted to ONLY those who are approved as a resource to interact with others in the field, offer support, and share stories. Our goal is simple, to provide another resource for the health and stability of our troops and to be able to get them anything they may need.
Black out your SSN number on your DD-214 or other please. Don't forget to include your AR15.com user name. Paul

ETA: Please compress your .jpg files to something reasonable - 200 KB is good, 12 MB is bad. - Paul
Military service is considered being attached to a command. Sorry, those just attending school like boot camp or advance training but not actually being assigned a command are not considered veterans for access to the forums. Our guard services - Air and Army are also welcome.- Paul

As a reminder:
"Whoever manufactures, sells or possesses any badge, identification card or other insignia of the design prescribed by the head of any department or agency of the United States for use by any officer or employee thereof, or any colorable imitation thereof, or photographs, prints, or in any other manner makes or executes any engraving, photograph, print, or impression in the likeness of any such badge, identification card, or other insignia, or any colorable imitation thereof, except as authorized under regulations made pursuant to law, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”
According to this having your photograph taken while your ID is visible is a crime as of 2008. Please don't send photos of ID cards to us. You're evaluations have no such restriction. You can also get a statement of military service from your personnel section.
If sending a copy of your DD-214 please remove block 3a (SSN) and 19a and 19b (addresses if you want) Paul
