Needs and Uses: This information 

collection requirement is necessary to

to request a waiver, on a military 

applicant who has committed a civil or 

criminal offense and would otherwise 

be disqualified for entry into the Armed 

Forces of the United States. The DD 

Form 370 is used to obtain references 

information evaluating the character, 

work habits, and attitudes of an 

applicant from a person of authority or 

standing within the community. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households; Business or other ForProfit; Not-for-Profit institutions; State, 

Local, or Tribal government. Normally, 

this form would be completed by 

responsible community leaders such as 

school officials, ministers and law

minutes.

This information is collected to 

provide Armed Services with specific 

background information on an

arrests, or confinement is disqualifying 

for military service. An applicant, with 

such a disqualifier, is required to submit 

references from community leaders who 

will attest to his or her character, 

attitudes or work habits. The DD Form 

370 is the method of information 

collection which requests an evaluation 

and reference from a specific individual, 

within the community, who has the 

knowledge of the applicant’s habits, 

behavior, personality, and character. 

The information will be used to 

determine suitability of the applicant for 

military service and the issuance of a 

waiver for acceptance.
