How do you get discharged from the National Guard?

Answer 1

You signed a binding agreement. You could be discharged if you don't have the physical fitness to participate. You could be court martialled for refusing to participate. But don't do anything that could get you put in jail.

Answer 2

In your contract it should states something like this: if you accrue 9 or more unexcused absences during any continuous 365 day period you will be declared an unsatisfactory participant and subject to reduction in grade and discharged from the ARNG and transfer to IRR (Inactive Ready Reserve). So if they are going to transfer you to IRR that means you are going to get an honorable or general discharge. If it were a dishonorable discharge then you would not get transferred to IRR which is where all soldiers that come off active duty and ARNG usually fulfill the reminder of their contract if for example it is split 6-2 or 4-4 for an eight year contract. However, If you are on a deployment rooster then they can come after you. So, be sure you have not been given orders to deploy.

Answer 3

You would need to first speak with your unit, and an Army recruiter (the recruiters who do recruiting for the Regular Army also do it for the Army Reserve, and Army Reserve units don't have recruiters at their armouries, the way some National Guard units do). Once you've established which unit you're going to, you would need to get a conditional release/discharge from the National Guard. Keep in mind that, if you've received any enlistment bonuses specific to the National Guard, you may be required to pay some or all of it back.

Answer 4

Move somewhere where there's no slots for your MOS, APFT failure, height/weight failure.
