I didn't receive any medical or other documentation after separation. Is this normal?

I was discharged from the Army National Guard last year. I have read a couple of places that I should have have received my medical records and other official papers upon separation. I guess I should have thought about it before, but I wasn't given a discharge "packet" or anything of that nature. I got a letter from my 1SG recommending a particular discharge, I signed it and returned it like I was told. That was it. I was just wondering if there was supposed to be more to it and how I should go about getting my medical and discharge documentation.

Thanks!

at the very least you are supposed to have signed, and been given, an original copy of a DD214. this doc is the basis of any veteran activities you claim. it substantiates your military service. it is the responsibility of your separating command to do this - contact them if you have no documentation. copies of your medical record would have to have been made by you.

your medical files would have transferred to the VA, the only documentation you would have is what most people do when they leave is to copy their records. that is the how the process works, you will have to see the VA on your medical issues
