Paperwork so I can be integrated into the unit. I haven’t gone to basic I switched my mos. I don’t want to be in the guard. I have a good job and it’s 91 miles away from where I live. I did my time active got out with a honarble an I only joined tHe guard because I didn’t have a job at the time an needed insurance. Basically I just want to be done guard. I haven’t trained with them. I have no gear from them and I haven’t been sent to ait
A:
There is a possibility of early release, but it's unlikely it will be granted. Guard service, like active duty service, is a contract that is not easy to get out of. There are hardship options out there. But if you're in an undermanned MOS, it's unlikely they'll release you.
That said, most employers are subject to USERRA and will work with you on your Guard service. It doesn't have to negatively interfere with your civilian job.
