Army Clerk Refuses To Issue DD214s

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. — Based on her deeply held beliefs ofthe “sanctity of military service,” admin clerk Spc. Kim David has been refusing to issue DD214s to service members whose records do not share her military service values, Duffel Blog has learned. “It wasn’t a spur of the moment decision,” said David. “It was thought …

Hilarious. It's not like anyone can step in because she's the only person on person who can generate the 214's.

I am absolutely appalled by her refusal to honor service members requests for DD214s. Separation from the military isn't a choice, it's a deeply held belief and some people were just born wanting to separate from the military. She should be arrested for this. #ServiceMemberSeparationsMatter

I think I did that right.

Army Clerk refuses to issue DD214s based on her values! Are you serious? This is a Specialist in the US Army. She has no right to refuse based on anything. I am all for having your own personal beliefs, but refusing to do your job based on said beliefs is insane! Maybe the ol' Article 15 might give this young lady a change of heart!

Absolutly NOT!!! It is not her place to judge any one's service and looking at her own, Spc David herself has previously collected a string of Article 15’s for public indecency, dereliction of duty, and misappropriation of government equipment in addition to the investigation into her Government Travel Card Charges, she should be the last one to make those determinations.

This Soldier needs to do her job, regardless if she thinks others are deserving or not. That is the Commander's job, not hers. She seems to be arrogant saying she's the only one who can complete a DD214, give me a reg and I'm sure I could do it! Perhaps a set of mosquito wings would straighten her out.

She needs to STFU and do her job or be fired. Next will be her immediate superior with the rest of the chain of command for cleansing if they seem unable to fix the problem . We can not tolerate a SPC of the Army dictating her values upon others who need to get the DD214 to move on with their lives.

It is our constitutional right to be separated from military service, no matter what our beliefs are regarding wanting to become lifers. I hope the clerk get jail time for this and her subordinates take over issuing the 214s. However, I wonder if the subordinate-issued documents will still be legal. Maybe I can move to another service and have my 214 issued there instead.

What the hell is with these people?? Do your JOB!!!!! Follow the written regulations... and NO they do not have anything to do with what you personally think!!! I am soooo over others pushing their personal views and beliefs into the lives of others. My life is not your life. Laws, regulations and directives are there for equality and uniformity not individualism. What makes people think that everyone wants to be like them in there personal views? Everyone's view is different based on the experiences and choices they make in life. That is the very core of freedom. To deny something that is a regulated formal process based on a biased opinion is to completely disregard the regulatory process and discriminatory. In the end it is dereliction of duty.

I would like to know who gave her that much authority? Her job is to issue paperwork and not judge a fellow service member.I will bet that when it comes time for her to separate from the military that she would be screaming bloody murder if she did not get her DD 214. Follow the regs and issue the DD214 and quit trying to make policy! You do not have enough rank for that!!!
