Prior Service - Retirement Service Records 

If you have been discharged from Active Duty Military Service, your personnel files are stored at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).  They are the official repository for records of military personnel who have been discharged from the United States Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy or Coast Guard.

All prior service members and veterans can request copies of their military service records from the National Archives veteran service records office.  For any adjustments to your record, you will also have to contact your state office and request adjustment to your record.

For those Air Guard Airmen and Officers separated after 2004, this is what I send them now to assist:

Air National Guard personnel records are maintained by the Air Reserve Personnel Center (ARPC) on Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado for all Airmen and Officers separated after 2004.

Contact information for the ARPC is below:

If you have been discharged from the Army National Guard, NGB Forms, to include NGB Forms 22, and 23, submit a Standard Form (SF) 180 to the state headquarters and respective branch you were discharged from or that you served in.  States are required by law, to maintain these records for 99 years.
