NGB form 23 needed to obtain Certificate of Eligibility for VA loan. Only documents I have are NGB22 and DD214. National Personnel Rec Center has no other documents. Served Illinois Air National Guard from 7/1991 - 7/1997. Any ideas? My NGB22 states 6 years of honorable service for “Pay” and not “Retirement” pay. Don’t know where to turn now. Thanks.

If it's not in your OMPF, then you can get a copy of your NGB 23s from the National Guard state headquarters.

While not an option for you apparently (just mentioning it in case others happen by your question and it can help them), the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) maintains the records of USAF reserve components (Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves) individuals who separated after 2004. You can get them by doing a records request through myFSS*.

Your next option would be Defense Personnel Records Information service (DPRIS) on MilConnect*. Submit a request for your entire Air Force personnel OMPF (click on the "Request Personnel File" tab, then the blue "Request my Personnel File", and finally select "Air Force" for the OMPF system and click "select all" for the four categories in the "Document Index". It will take a few days, but whatever is available online will show up in your milConnect account.

Finally, if don't have success online, you can contact the Illinois National Guard headquarters*. States are required by law to maintain those records for 99 years.

Reach out to your loan officer. I was having trouble obtaining mine through the online portal but my loan officer (USMC veteran) got it for me. DD214 alone should be sufficient.

NGB form 23 was unattainable. However, I was able to track down my leave and earnings statements which coun towards my 6 years of Air Guard service in Lieu of the NBG23 because it shows all monthly payments and dates for all 6 years of duty.
