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.

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.
