Where is my release order?

I switched from Reserve to National Guard through direct commission early this year. However, I could not locate the Release Order in my AKO. And my old reserve unit has not seen it either. Where can I find it? Pls advice. Thanks!

It may not be cut.
In the circumstance you describe, it is possible to accept a direct commission without the conditional release (DA 368) being followed through upon with the ensuing discharge order from the Army Reserve.
It is also possible it is bumping around in HRPAS not being actioned. There aren't really any ill effects to you, but if your old Reserve unit didn't complete the action, you'll still be in their books as a ghost. If you are off the books, then it is likely the order was cut, but your unit can't see it now that you are gone.
