The only thingsolution I got once my MEB came back were my DD214 and my walking orders. I was wondering if this was normal practice or if I should have received a Certificate also?

You should be able to request one from any local Air Force Base personnel office. The DD214 and MEB Record of Decision are the documents you really need for other purposes (like proof of service &amp; your medical retirement, and to possibly request your Certificate of Retirement).
