Each army has its own separation form. Usually before the turn of the century they were hand written. During WWII, the WD Form 33 35 was for an honorable discharge. The WD was War Department, since the Department of Defense had not been formed. When the DOD was formed after WWII, this became a DD form and was numbered 214.
If you want to re-enlist in the military, take your DD214's to a recruiter and have them file an appeal with the Department of Defense about your discharge. The recruiter will let you know what the DoD is requiring you to do to get back in the service. The other thing to do would be file an appeal with the Department of Defense on your discharge. There is no way to change your enlistment code on your DD214's because that would be considered fraud.
