Keep EVERYTHING. Every stinking smidgen of paper. My beloved is gathering all of the paperwork for the Lt. Col. application and even though he's submitted this stuff every single time he's done anything they want to see, again:
His DD214 (the separation document from his enlisted days)
College and medical school transcripts (fun with the three different community colleges)
Copies of the documentation for all of the awards he's received.
Copies of all of the diplomas and certifcates- college, medical school, internship, residency, fellowship, Boards, etc.
I have an entire file drawer with separate files from each part of his Army life "enlisted", "USUHS" "Residency" "Fellowship" "deployment".
Also, DO NOT throw away copies of your paperwork from any of the moves you've ever made with the military. When we moved the first time, the woman who outprocessed us at Bolling AFB told me about a Col. who had to repay the military something like 20k because he'd filed a claim for damages and then several years later during an audit the asked him for the documentation and he didn't have it.
Lesson of the day: even if you think you'll never need it again, don't throw it away.
