Sec. 887.5  Issuing CILs.

    The issuing authority makes sure that the proper CIL form is issued, 
particularly if the service member has had service in both the Army and 
Air Force. The assignment status as of September 26, 1947 determines if 
the person was in the Army or Air Force at the time of discharge or 
release from active duty. Separations that took place on or before 
September 25, 1947 are considered Army separations. Those that took 
place on or after September 26, 1947 are considered Air Force 
separations, unless the records clearly show the person actually served 
as a member of the Army during the period of service for which the CIL 
is requested. Individuals indicated in Sec. 887.3 may be issued CILs 
prepared on one of the following forms:
    (a) DD Form 303AF, Certificate in Lieu of Lost or Destroyed 
Discharge, is used to replace any lost or destroyed certificate of 
discharge from the Air Force.
    (b) DD Form 363AF, Certificate of Retirement, is used to replace any 
lost or destroyed certificate of retirement from the Air Force (issued 
only to service members).
    (c) AF Form 386, Certificate in Lieu of Lost or Destroyed Discharge 
(AUS), is used to replace any lost or destroyed certificate of discharge 
from the Army.
    (d) AF Form 681, Certificate in Lieu of Lost or Destroyed 
Certificate of Service (AUS), is used to replace any lost or destroyed 
certificate of service, or like form, issued on release from extended 
active duty (EAD) in the Army.
    (e) AF Form 682, Certificate in Lieu of Lost or Destroyed 
Certificate of Service (USAF), is used to replace any lost or destroyed 
certificate of service, or like form, issued on release from EAD in the 
Air Force.
