He still hasn&#39;t received it years later and no one at his old unit is answering calls as far as I&#39;m aware.<br /><br />Is there a route he can use to have it mailed to him?

You should be able to find the contact information by Googling his state + Army National Guard + troop command ... i.e., Texas Army National Guard Troop Command ... look for the contact information.<br /><br />Second is to contact the state&#39;s/county&#39;s Veteran agency and see if they have copies of the records.<br /><br />Third is to contact the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) and request a copy of your military records (all military records for former servicemembers will eventually go there).

Mine randomly showed in the mail 2 months after getting out. Never knew that I was supposed to receive one in the first place. It is nice to have if you want to frame it or store away for memories. It looks pretty legit if I may add. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 10 Oct 2022 09:48:19 -0400 2022-10-10T09:48:19-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-does-a-guardsman-get-their-honorable-discharge-certificate?n=7924029&urlhash=7924029 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I had mine the week I retired.
