Question
I served in the Louisiana Army
National Guard from 1991-1993. I was released from the Guard to go into
Active Army. I served in Active Army 1993-1995.
My question is, How/Where do I find the NGB-22 from 1993 and the DD-214 from 1995?
Answer 1
You can try your IPERMS to see if they are located there. The national
archives should have a copy of your records. The Louisiana Army National
Guard might have a copy of the NGB 22 if you reach out to them.
Question 2
I checked IPERMS, but no luck. I found a G1 link for the Louisiana
Army National Guard, and sent an email. I also emailed the Soldier
Record Branch at HRC. Was just hoping someone had a method I had not
thought of.
I will try to email the National Archives as well.
Submitted requests to National Archives for the DD 214 and NG 22. How long does it take on average (ball park)?
Answer 2
It can be as fast as a couple of
weeks; it can be as slow as several months. It depends if the records
have been digitized and if they are in the “true” custody of the
National Archives or not.
Although
the National Archives processes all the requests, some of the records
may be in the custody of the Army–even though they’re all in the same
building–and so they have to coordinate with the record custodians to
get the forms pulled. And they may have to contact your state Adjutant
General if the records haven’t been retired yet, as well.

They
also have a telephone number and online form you can fill out to check
the status of your request–but give them a few days to work it, first:
