I was in the reserve program and retired honorably after 22 years. Am I entitled to a dd214?

A DD214 is only a authorized for periods of active duty service of 90 consecutive days or longer.

Cpl Vic Burk - Yeah, It was something I learned on the civilian side when I got my GS position with HR. Learned real quick troops did not get a DD214 when they ETS or Retired from the Reserves. All they get are Orders.

You do not get a DD214 when leaving the Reserves. You receive retirement orders.
DD214s are for leaving active military service.

Funny thing is they call all your active duty time ADT Active Duty Training, and Active Duty never train like this or experience this, back and forth transition from active duty operaitonal training stressors, and back to your normal now confusing civilian life, with a sore back and other conditions that are confusing to understand, just 19 years old, back and forth like a light switch, from 100000000 million miles and hour to 0, which if your ADT orders are kept under 2 years of back to back days, over a 8 year reserve obligation enlistment, won't even qualify for a homeless housing voucher at the VA with no regard of what your duty assignment was and the things you experiecned

How do I get an updated DD214? | RallyPoint
The only DD214 I have is from BCT and AIT. How do I go about getting an updated DD214? Currently all I've got showing I served honorably are my separation orders, a certificate, and a NGB 22.

This was my problem at the VA getting a homeless housing voucher, waiting 4 years of denials, because of this DD214 thing and a reserve enlistment that was honorable
