When I was medically retired at 20 years, I got my DD214 and a flag in a cardboard box. I did not care. I was so ready to leave the army post. Do you get retirement pay from the DoD each month?

I may be wrong but I think you were medically chaptered as opposed to medically retired.

The DD214 is the official retirement record. If your unit didn’t request ceremonial certificates then you’re probably not getting them.

You’re probably right Sir, they didn’t care not even a ceremony
