Requesting your NGB 22 when it is not in your iPERMS record yet:

Typically, you’d be able to access your NGB 22 via your iPERMS record, however, the section that handles NGB 22s is extremely behind. The process to move your NGB 22 to the top of the list for production is:

-Complete an SF 180 (attached for your use): In addition to completing all the other info on the form, you’ll check the box in section II for “DD Form 214 or equivalent”. Don’t forget to check the appropriate box in block 2 of section II as well.
-Then you’ll send your completed SF 180 to the following email inbox: ng.mi.miarng.list.dcsper-enl-br@army.mil

 

Enlisted Branch will email or call you once your NGB 22 is complete. They’ll also place a copy of it in your iPERMS record.
