Why does the Active Component have the DD214 and the National Guard have the NGB Form 22, but the Army Reserve does not have a form showing service after they got out of the guard. For example, A Reserve Soldier could go to Basic and AIT, they would get a DD214 after training, then spent the next 19 years drilling and then when they retire, there is no form to show how long they spent in the Reserve and what awards and type of discharge/ RE Code they had.

I don’t know about the Reserves but in the National Guard everytime you come off of active duty title10 orders you receive a DD214, if the only active time you have is BCT and AIT then that’s the only 214 you get. The NGB 22 is a statement of your Mday service time only. (Drill weekend, Annual training, state active duty) When you leave the Guard you will get your final NGB22 and you will have received your final DD214 at the end of your last set of title10 orders.

If your last DD214 is not current and up to date with your awards, for example you received an ARCOM or ARCAM or AAM you can have it updated at the end of your service to reflect that.

Yeah and we Guard and Reserves also get screwed over 10.5 years in the Guard and Reserves total and just tried to see about enlisting in the Active Army, but they only count what's on active duty as time served in the service, so being 38 years of age, I can't qualify because they only count just the two years total on active orders/Deployment.

I was a us army reservist in a couple of MOS and different locations in California,
However, I did not get as discharge or anything when I moved to Utah.
So, What do I or can I do now?

So why isn't the DD 214 updated at separation? I thought there were time calculations due based on time served on active and reserve time, could that document not be used to update the DD 214?
