I-Team: Transgender Vets Want Army to Change Names | NBC New York

Jennifer's military record still refers to her by a different name. The
Defense Department policy is not to change a person's official military
service form, or DD-214, a department spokesman confirmed.

Lieutenant Commander Nate Christensen, a spokesman for the DOD, said in a
statement that his agency won’t change a name on the original DD-214 form,
“based on the Service's interest in maintaining the accuracy of its
historical records.” But he said they will place a letter or certificate in
the applicant's official service record, verifying a name or gender change.
