Thank you for your swift reply.

I am currently overseas on a short assignment and don’t have access to the Career Candidate guide, as the packet I was sent is back stateside, and I believe that it requires a password to access.

Would you mind clarifying on what “certified” entails? Would this just be a notarized document with said information? The document I sent the Registrar was a signed document from my Commander with all information required; however, I am not positive that it meets the requirements of being “certified.”

I have all of my Registrar’s contact information; however, I am sure my Registrar is being bombarded with phone calls and emails, so they have not been able to provide a response as of yet, but since timeliness is a factor with this issue I am seeking some clarification here on the forums.

Apologies, and thank you for your help on this matter.

Hello all,

Just wanted to post an update I thought would be helpful.

To alleviate this issue I had my Commander draft and sign an official MFR (on letterhead) stating my date of entry into active duty, my projected date of separation, combat zone deployments/dates (which are necessary for the award of points) , and that I am not under any official investigation and expect to be discharged under honorable conditions, along with a wet signature from him.

After submitting this to my registrar I have been officially awarded my Veteran’s Preference points. I imagine once my DD-214 is drafted I will have to submit that, but at least for class purposes, it seems to have passed the test.

Hope this helps!
