Thread res.
Are you retired military, or "just" a vet?
Veteran counts...no need to be retired.
DD214 doesn't automatically work to satisfy citizenship requirement though (according to CMP, some 214's will work IF they have a "Citizenship" or "Place of Birth" block.).
You don't have to be a citizen to have a DD214. I sent copies of my DD214 and Passport because my 214 doesn't have any of the above.
