SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year, DoD selects 10 issues for states

uncertainty of military life. For example, DoD has asked states to 
consider remedies to improve school transition for children in active 
duty military families to overcome problems with records transfer, 
class and course placement, qualifying for extra-curricular activities, 
and fulfilling graduation requirements.

provided by the Government and have a photograph (such as military ID, 
driver's license or passport).
