of your active service. A "certification" is any written document from

officer, or commander of your unit or higher headquarters and must indicate
when your terminal leave will begin (if applicable), your rank, dates of active
duty service, the type of discharge and character of service (i.e.
honorable). Your preference and/or appointment eligibility will be

for employment or are applying for consideration under the VRA, VEOA, or 30
Percent or More Disabled Veterans appointment authorities and fail to provide a
DD214 or valid "certification" of service with your initial application, you
will not be afforded veterans' preference and/or will be found ineligible for
consideration. Military members may be appointed before the effective
date of their military retirement/separation if member is on terminal leave.
