I have a DD214 from my time in the Army. 12 years later I did a try one with the National Guard. When I got out I received an NGB22. Is that correct? Should I have received a DD214 in addition to the NGB22 or not? Can I request a new DD214, and would it have my Service in the National Guard listed on it? I could really use some guidance please. Thanks.

Yes it is. The DD-214 is a statement of Active Duty. You have to be on active duty to get one. That is why you will get one after deployment. It does not necessarily mean that you are out of the military. It is just a statement of completion of active service. Since you are in the National Guard and not active duty you don't warrant a DD-214. You were on a M-Day status, drilling. The NGB 22 is a statement of separation and record of service. It also notes service to a State in which you served. It is just a National Guard Version of it. Just like you take a National Guard version of the Oath of Enlistment. So far I have 4 DD214s and 1 NGB 22. I am sure to get some more too.

SPC (Join to see) - It is up to the state. You can have one completed before you get out but they usually what till the last minute. They are usually done at your state HQ.

Ahhh understood, next month is my last drill date, and I ETS before the Jan one, honestly I have a feeling in my gut I won't see one before I get out thats just me, do you think my state HQ would have one like a week after I ETS? They're easy to contact

Only difference in the oath is that the Governor is added after the President.

DD 214 = active duty under Title 32 or Title 10. NGB 22= National Guard M-day (one weekend a month + AT) service time only.

You do not get a DD214 for Basic and AIT, you have to serve more than 6 consecutive months.

Question: My brother in law served in the National Guard and was a 2nd Lt. NOT on active duty. He has passed recently from an illness. Does his wife (my sister), children, have any dependent benefits? And if they do who or where would they apply? Thanks from Tim Carney, former USCG, 1967-1971.
