What counts as creditable service?

0

Q: I have an appointment letter with specific dates listed for a qualifying nonappropriated-funds employment from the U.S. Army at the Army Youth Activities camp in 1964. I have confirming information from microfiche records that have been officially certified that list the same employer (U.S. Army AYA Camp) for the same quarter as the specific dates listed in the appointment letter, and at the same pay specified in that letter. What else is required by regulation for verifying this service? These two documents taken together seem sufficient.

A: The only requirement is that you provide convincing evidence that you performed a period of potentially creditable service. Usually that’s done with a copy or copies of official documents. The documents you’ve gathered would meet that criterion.
