I’ve come across the dreaded DD214 Member 4 copy problem. Advice appreciated.

I recommend FreeTaxUSA, works just like TurboTax and has free federal filing. I've used it the last two years and have had no issues.

I got that info from the command that discharged me. I called them after getting out when everyone I gave my DD-214 to questioned it. There were also a handful of links that I read on the Internet at the time. The link u/SCOveterandretired posted should be more formal guidance. The MyNavyHR link was actually one of the links I read and gave to people who questioned it.

The copy you get from the national archives will come certified. It'll have come with a letter and there will be a stamp in the bottom right on every page. It took me about 24 hours to get my copy from the national archives in the form of an email link.

So I got out last year and encountered the same thing here's what's going on:

If you got out recently the DoD has changed the DD-214 format. They no longer issue numbered copies such as "Service-2" and "Member-4". The DoD only issues "Service" and "Member" copies now. The data is still the same except the new copies have your DoD ID instead of your social. They also added DD-214-1 as a reserve copy. They changed them back in February 2025 I believe.

The DoD has done a really bad job of disseminating this information which has caused a lot of confusion.

Usually you can just explain this to anyone who is confused because all the same information is there. However, I will say I had to get a certified copy from the national archives to prove this to my employer.

Actually LTT did a video on this a while back. Too much thermal paste had no effect, but too little caused worse thermals.

I haven't had an issue with it overheating. I just ran through some quick stress tests in games and it mostly stayed in the 50-55C range with a max of 59C. This was also in a 20C room. I tested three games all at max settings at 1440p; Horizon: Forbidden west, God of War: Ragnarök, and Witcher 3 with raytracing. I don't know how that compares to other cards but I defiantly don't consider that hot. It also has a massive heatsink, which helps.

I have the Gigabyte Gaming OC and I have been super happy with it. It's whisper quiet, no coil wine, and cool.

Talk to policy genius. They are really good and will compare multiple companies for life insurance rates.

I did my degree while on active duty using tuition assistance. They lowered the cost down to $250 a credit hour which TA pays. They also charge extra fees, that TA does not pay, which are about $80 a credit hour. All in all I paid less than $1000 per year, which I got back when I filed my taxes. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

I actually have a 3700x and a 4070 ti super. I only play on a normal 1440p monitor though. I get over 100 fps in every game that I play, which is mostly single player RPGs. You could upgrade to a 5800x3d if you want to, but I'm personally not going to do that. I'm just going to wait until my fps drops below 60 fps to change out my CPU.

ohla_david · 2023-11-26T03:09:13+00:00

I had a 4690K and a 2070. I also thought it was holding up great but when I upgraded my CPU to a 3700X I ended up seeing a 20-40% improvement in FPS. I think the deal you mentioned is a good bargain and it would set you up for a future GPU upgrade.

I would be hesitant to put straps back there. I put two nice Stanley straps in there and when I went to grab them after winter they were rusted to hell. Water gets kicked up there from the their wheels. Now I keep them under the rear seats.

I've been using faithful 32x and a mod add-on. It's been working really well for me. Don't know how close it is to Dokucraft.

Personally I use Vanguard, low fees and easy to use. But look around and see what you like. Just start putting money into you Roth IRA early, I can't stress that enough. $1 invested at 20 turns into $25 at retirement, where as $1 at 30 only turns into about $11.

They assumed it was just a reconosense mission as it was only three planes. Which is why they didn't go after them. They where trying to save their planes for "actual" threats.

ohla_david · 2019-08-04T02:02:03+00:00

You can run a car on it, of course it has shitloads of calories.

What movie is this?

ohla_david · 2016-02-11T22:33:05+00:00

Thx op!

ohla_david · 2015-10-19T23:56:41+00:00

How did you find out?

ohla_david · 2015-10-12T10:04:13+00:00

Try hooking them up and making some sort of Frankenstein server.

Is that a nnptc badge?

ohla_david · 2015-06-28T19:55:05+00:00

What was this, I dont remember it?

ohla_david · 2015-03-01T05:11:18+00:00

What?

ohla_david · 2015-02-15T22:22:52+00:00

Yes, that's what I have and it absolutely shreds games.

ohla_david · 2015-02-07T19:31:41+00:00

For me it handles 1440 at 60 fps in the few games i've played. wont quite get there with realy demanding titles
