Who should I contact for not receiving a DD-214 when I was discharged (Army Reserve)?

My unit (Army reserves) never wrote up a DD-214 when I was discharged and I cannot get in contact with them. I have written to HRC but was told that I had to go through "Milconnect". They did not have a exiting DD-214 on file either. further telling me that my last unit did not turn in a DD-214. I am trying to re-enlist but without a DD-214 I'm at a stand still.
Any suggestion on who I should turn too?

The DD214 is for Release from Active Duty. You would receive one at the end of Initial Entry Training, the end of a deployment, or sometimes at the end of a school. At the end of your Army Reserve enlistment you would only receive Discharge Orders and hopefully the Honorable Discharge certificate. The National Guard does have their own discharge document called an NGB-22.

I have a general discharge cert but my separation orders didn't come with an RE-code. And that the issue i'm running into. I need the RE-code for the recruiter Trying to re-enlist is harder than it should be I feel.

SPC Tyler Aydelotte I know this was from 3-years ago but the Army reserves don’t give Re-codes. Ask me how I know. I was in the exact situation you were twice.
Do you get a DD 214 from the reserves, I never got one, my 4 dD 214's are from active duty??

I have DD214s from active serve but yes you are correct as you don’t get one in reserves. But how do I re-enlist if I don’t have one from being discharged?

Right! You’d think that the recruiter would be able to help. He doesn’t have the time...
Maybe I should contact a different recruiter?
