I never signed my DD Form 214, which I'm told is required, and after constant calls left with the repeated 'excuse' that it will be coming in the mail to the address I last gave them. It's been nearly two months and still nothing.

I finally had to have an USAF O-6 my father worked with call my last duty station's Seperation/Retirement office to get it. The O-6 was told they were too busy to deal with it and then he had to pull rank with the E-5. Needless to say I got it about a week later in the mail. After I did my 368 to the Coast Guard from the IRR. I had to call the AFRPC several times and keep telling them I was released from the Air Force to go to the Coast Guard. I kept getting letters in the mail saying I had to attend a muster.
So all I have to say is good luck with it. They are a mess to deal with. Go to the nearest Air Force Base and talk to their seperations office.

Joe D had the best and most correct answer. You go to that site, go to the bottom and click on REQUEST MILITARY RECORDS. When you fill out the form on the bottom, don't forget to print it and mail if off with YOUR SIGNATURE within 20 days (do it as soon as you sign it) or you'll never get your DD-214. My son and I did. He had his original and now I have an extra for me and an extra for him here at home (he's on the 'other' coast). There is NO COST for your DD-214. Anyone charging you for one is a RIP OFF.

I got a DD 214 when I left, have not seen it in about ten years. There probably is a DD 213, the military has a form for everything.

Don;t know, try the national archives, they can send you one.
But I was handed my DD-214 when i was being out processed and discharged from the Air Force.
So I cannot imagine why they wouldn't have given you yours too, since that is what most of the out processing was about.

One of the easiest ways might be going through the National Archives. They are responsible for keeping the nations military personnel records. On their website you can request a copy. It does take a couple of weeks though.

Contact your county VA officer. I was told in 1979 never to lose it and I still have it and have had to use it many times. At some point in your life you are going to need it. Contact the man he will help you, that's his job.

I had to go back to my last duty station's personnel office after my retirement to get mine. They found it still stuck in a file.

It will come, it took me a year to receive all my medals. There is a awful back log with them.

No clue.
You say you were in the AF? Prove it.
(lets hope you get it soon, and when you do take it to your county recorder and have it recorded.)
