merits. This information is collected on DD Form 2168, ``Application

Duty with the Armed Forces of the United States,'' which provides the

of DoD Directive 1000.20. Information from the DD form 2168 will be
extracted and used to complete the DD Form 214, ``Certificate for
Release of Discharge from Active Duty.''
