DD214-1

Update: my DD-214-1 has been processed and made it to my OMPF.

And despite my submitting my previous DD-214s and missing awards, they still managed to screw it up. It looks like someone dumped and pasted from VMET and other systems with dubious data rather than original sources.

As an example, I have a subspecialty code 6203 for space education at NPS. VMET incorrectly takes this data and categorizes as a designator instead, which is a LDO nuclear power officer. The civilian tech that processed my 214 dumped it in my specialty section as such.

Awards are incorrect as well.

The items above might not matter to some of you, but this next part will. @sevenhelmet you were asking why to care about this and here you go: my reserve activation dates have significant errors when they could have easily referenced my previous DD-214s provided. As a result, my retirement pay age reduction amount is under computed.

Off to the BCNR I go. Navy personnel system remains a joke.

None of that surprises me. As a retiree who did not deploy as a reservist, I don't plan to tackle this "dash 1" thing, given the apparent pain and lack of understanding involved. I'll just draw my pension at 60 and be grateful for my cardboard mattress under the overpass.

The first draft of my DD-214 and associated paperwork had me down as completing whatever the initial sub officer training pipeline is... in addition to my NFO stuff. Easy enough to correct at that stage, but I am curious how that got in there. Presumably an automated process. I also had some rando first class' eval in my record back in the day.
 
When I got my initial -214 as I left active duty, I remember going to a physical PSD in Oceana and looking over the person's shoulder making corrections. Nearly everyone in my timeframe was listed as an NFO, in spite of being a pilot.......among many other obvious errors.

The VMET thing really is frustrating, and also absolutely not surprising. It's kind of like how no aviator's FLTMPS is in any way accurate, because we don't use that system for anything related to management of our careers. But that thing shat out a bunch of stuff to the civilian doing my -214 paperwork. I think it basically said I was a undesignated human with shipboard firefighting and whatever other boat donkey bullshit some random YN decided to input into it.
