How can I get my NGB 22 quickly after ETS?

Coming up on my ETS after 8 years in the Guard. I was told that I probably won’t see my discharge papers for another 3 months after my ETS. How can I get them quicker so I can go active duty Navy?

When is your Guard ETS ? Have you started the process yet ? They should let you start 6 months out.

If you ETS this month, your discharge order is probably already published, or will publish no later than the end of the month.
You won't get an NGB 22 at all until you request it, so do that now.
Your state has a website, the G1 page should have information about how to email your NGB 22 request.

What state are you in?

The best way will be to request it from state G1 by phone and follow up on it by checking back.

I switched from the guard to the reserve and was already in the reserve before I got it. In hindsight you could have got a conditional release from the Guard stating you were in good standing allowing you to join the Navy prior to the end of your contract.
