My recruiter says I have no dd214 for basic or ait, no dd220 or any paperwork showing my active time for basic and ait besides my diplomas and orders. He says I cant rejoin unless I have paperwork showing my basic and ait time. I have called the archives and they cant find it, I have called hrc and they cant find it. Anyone know anything and can help me.

A DD214 is only used for periods of service over 90 days, so if your training wasn't over 90 straight days you won't have one. I've never seen a DD220 and I'd be surprised if you were ever issued one.
Orders taking you to training are sufficient as long as they show the dates. In addition you can get copies of your LES and your retirement points worksheet to show your AIT time.
If that's not sufficient for your recruiter, they are inexperienced and don't know how to fix the problem. Go higher or go to another station.

I did just that today. Next recruiter is 5 hours away near Gainesville ga. Had all my questions answered and 1st sgt even got involved and said my ngb 22 and orders are enough and no need for dd214 since guard normally wont input those anyways. Now I gotta call and get my recruiter to transfer everything over.

SPC (Join to see) it sounds like you just needed someone with enough experience. The recruiters you deal with are detail recruiters and this is a temp job for them so they often are not aware of how to work around obstacles.

My ex wife burned all my records and uniforms when we got divorced so I do not have copies.

SPC (Join to see) the only other I can suggest is your DAV go to a local chapter ask to speak to a state or national representative. Maybe your only shot
