Help with getting DD214 corrected

[ussoldier1984]

Just curious I have a few mistakes on my DD-214. I have a couple ribbons missing but I have the orders for them. Is there a way to fix it or is it not worth the effort and just keep copys of the orders for the ribbons that are missing. Also is there a way for me to get my ex wife removed from my dd-214? And yes I have divorce papers lol I was told I could have my current wife added and yes she is the one for life lol. Sorry If this is a dumb subject.

Best bet is to contact your local VA office and schedule a sit down.

You will need to apply to the review board for your respective service branch for corrections or changes. Instructions on what to submit for each are listed in the link below.

As for your former spouse...

Most military benefits to a spouse automatically terminate once a divorce is finalized, but some former military spouses are entitled to benefits even after the marriage ends. Federal laws provide some protections to former spouses of service members regarding retirement pay and base privileges. Some former spouses of long-time service members are entitled to continuing health benefits.
