Welcome back Dude.
My boat was one of the first ones ever at Bangor - they got the base done before they had any new (Ohio class) subs to put there so they moved some old ones in to get things moving.
And they told me to file my DD214 with the county recorder at the city I moved to when I first got out - didn't say it was any kind of legal requirement. The recorder kept the original and gave me back a certified copy. The County Recorder was an elected position so I actually knew somebody on the ballot the next voting day (she was an office of one). The only time I ever needed it was to get a VA loan on my house and those guys accepted an ordinary Xerox copy of the Certified Copy. I have it scanned in my documents folder now if I ever need it again.
I don't understand the appeal of model cars, but that's why they make chocolate and vanilla... enjoy.
