My "DD Form 2", issued in 1999, uses YYYYMonDD format for date of birth and date of issue. Month is written out as three letters, e.g. AUG, with no spaces around it on either side, e.g. 1999AUG01. Weight and height are WOMBAT; height is inches only. Paul -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Brownridge The US military has traditionally used a three-letter month abbreviation (e.g., 17JUL93) which avoids the chance of confusion that occurs with all-numeric dates. In looking over my old military records, I can find only a few examples of all-numeric dates, but these are in the traditional US format: mm/dd/yy. However, I recall someone on this list told us that they had seen new military ID cards in the ISO format: yyyy-mm-dd.
