As an immediate family member, you can request a copy from NARA -- the National Archives and Records Administration.
You can do it online. You will need to supply some personal identifying information, including social security number.

Note: if you're looking for older records, many were lost in the archives warehouse fire in St. Louis, including many from Viet Nam and before. A lot of WW2 records were lost.

Dont listen to these people. You can get someones DD Form 214 by going to the local county clerks office and asking. They have them there unless the servicemember marked that they did not want copy 3 to go there.

you cant.
Unless you are a dependant or have duralect power of attourney,.... sorry I cant spell.
You need to call the National Acrhives,.. and have a SSN and name ready,.. then you need to provide proof or relation.
You also can check the VA in the location of the home of that person. In the case where the person lived in a place,.. got out of the service,... and then moved. Check with the local VA first,.... then contact the VA in the location where the person was in the time of a Military Discharge.
DO NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO DO THE WORK FOR YOU REGUARDLESS OF HOW MANY TIMES THEY SAY THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT,..... you need to get in touch with people to fill in the gaps in the research,..... use the people as links between service locations.

Heck, with a DD-214 and a buck and a quarter, you can get a cup of coffee at McDonalds, and a job too.

If you are not affiliated with or representing an agency with that kind of government connection, I don't think you can get it. That is the military equivalent of someone's credit report; you will have to show why you need\want it and for what purpose.

Call the unit's enlisted person in charge of records. Or call the HQ unit in charge of the enlisted's former unit. They're really good at this, and it only takes a week or so. They can even rush it or fax it if you need it asap.

You have to ask that person for it. The government cannot furnish you with a copy.

You can't, it is impossible unless you have POA, even then it will be either impossible, or extremely hard.
