"Having my DD Form 214 miniaturized on a credit card sized plastic card is genius.  I feel like I have a very special spy card of some sort.  Not only that, but my tiny signature is there which makes this card really spiffy.  And, miniaturization of my DD Form 214 makes it easier to move around from place to place, which reduces the risk of loss through mishandling.  Which, I have a tendency to do with large items.  Also, I like the encrypted data on the backside of my DD Form 214 card.  Very cool!"
