I talked to a handful of recruiters and each one is asking for a DD214 I explained to them that the Reserve does not issue a DD214 as that would be a Release from Active Duty Form. That is met with a “I never heard of such everyone gets a “DD214”

Everyone gets a DD214 for a period of ACTIVE duty. National Guard has the NGB-22 to show a completion of service. From what I've found, there is no form for USAR unless you served a period of active duty.

Here's another thread that pertains to the same question.

Why does the Reserve not have a form like the DD214. | RallyPoint

Why does the Active Component have the DD214 and the National Guard have the NGB Form 22, but the Army Reserve does not have a form showing service after they got out of the guard. For example, A Reserve Soldier could go to Basic and AIT, they would get a DD214 after training, then spent the next 19 years drilling and then when they retire, there is no form to show how long they spent in the Reserve and what awards and type of discharge/ RE...

You get a DD214 when you released from basic or AIT.

Now did you get admin discharge or did you complete your contract?
Cause if you was admin discharge then you get a DD214 with a separation code and recode. You also get discharge papers

I have that one, it purely states initial active duty for training. However from what I gather most Reservists do not receive such form upon their release from the “Ready Reserve”

Individual Ready Reserve aka IRR is an official status for Soldiers who've completed a tour of duty less than the current full commitment of military service. A service contract would read X years active and Y years ready reserve duty where you are subject to recall for national emergencies. Generally the DD214 would show your current service commitment completion and the DD 214 can be used to calculate remaining time of service. If you completed the full term active duty time with no Reserve Time remaining it should show as much on the 214. Otherwise the current documentation needed for Federal Reserve is either a copy of orders showing enlistment into the IRR after completion of a full service contract to show Non Drilling Reserve Status, or your DD 214. Its almost 30 years that what was know as hip pocket orders have been done away with. As for Reservists reaching their termination date. You need to check with your unit's S1 personnel section, to see if they still provide the release from service letter after you've completed your obligation. And yes, there used to be an officially published letter mailed to the soldier after the end of the obligation date to show no further service commitment, but I do not know if that is still done by HRC.
