To my fellow National Guardsmen, I’m about to retire and I have enough activations to qualify for a DD-214 after I get out. How do I go about obtaining this? As well as my “Retiree Card”? Is it automatically sent in the mail or a process after submitting a request.

Reserve and Nation Guard to NOT get a DD214 at the end of their service. NG and RC recieve sepatation orders and and updated retirement point statement (5016 or NGB 22/23).
DD214 are only for leaving a period of active duty service.

I don't know what you mean about "enough activations", you get a DD 214 after every T10 activation from a reserve component.

But if you are active duty now, and will reach 20 total years of active federal service soon to qualify for a regular retirement, then you need to complete the SFL-TAP program, where you will get all the answers to these questions and the more important questions you are not asking.

A "retiree card" is just like any other military ID, you get it from a DEERS/RAPIDS location, no earlier than the day after your last day of active duty.
