The only difference between the undeleted and deleted version of DD214 is the bottom 1.5 inches of the long form. The DD214 is designed so that all you have to do is move that section, the bottom 1.5 inches, off the copier (or cover it over with a blank piece of paper) – and you have the deleted DD214 (the short form). Be forewarned, though. Any employer who is familiar with DD214 will always request the undeleted report of separation (the long form). If you give them the deleted version, that will suggest that you are trying to hide something. If you do have something that you may wish wasn’t noted, generally you’ll be better off explaining the situation rather than trying to conceal it.
