That will often have records that don't show up on his DD-214.

For example, my DD-214 shows that I qualified as a Marksman on the M-16A2 rifle. That's the lowest of the riflery classifications. I originally qualified as Marksman in Basic Training, but improved to the level of Expert, the highest in riflery, by the time I ETS'd. My 201 file has the range card proving I was a rifle expert. It's the Expert badge that I display on my Class A uniform.
