In order for your son to be formally a Guardsman, he would have to have taken his oath, twice. The first oath is administered while he is going through paperwork and a physical examination. The second oath, and the most important oath is administered prior to being ordered to his guard unit. If he has not already taken the secong oath, then he cannot enter. If he has taken both, it would be up to him to seek out the proper channels within the Chain of Command to get out. This process is long and difficult, and it usually means a general, less than Honorable discharge which will always be a part of his records for the rest of his life.

Go to the National Guard Web site and I think there is information on it but they won't make it easy. Much to my disappointment both my grandsons are in the Guard they were convinced to sign up just after their 17th birthday. We should keep recruiters out of High schools and they should be prevented from signing up juniors who are still children. Also in our area we have an organization called Metro Justice and they have information about getting out. Some of the member are former military.

i be responsive to by ability of now you're bored with interpreting responses approximately growing to be a member of the militia without going into try against. i think of I see what you're asking. while you're asking if its obtainable to connect the militia and not be out on the front strains, then confident (to a factor). The Air national look after (lively duty AF and Reserves coated) are not like the Marines and armed forces the place they spend a number of holiday interior the sphere combating and dealing convoys. maximum Air stress workers while distant places spends their time on base, no longer out on the sphere. yet this relies upon on his interest. particular jobs do bypass out on the sphere extra suitable than others. different jobs in no way even bypass off base while deployed. The ANG do no longer set up as commonly, yet they do set up. and that they set as much as many places which comprise Iraq and Afghanistan. yet no remember what branch of provider you connect, there'll continually be a hazard of going to try against. there's no such concern as engaging on a situation-unfastened point interior the militia. you're the two totally committed to do your duty (no remember if its a deployment or try against) or your no longer committed in any respect and should no longer even connect. in the adventure that your son is afraid to place his existence on the line for his u . s . a ., tell him to no longer connect.

Mom your son is an adult...Why are you asking his question for him? If he has had a change of heart he should be walking himself into the recruiters station and talking to them himself...If he is in the delayed entry program and has yet to take his second oath yes he can get out, but this may mean that he may not be able to change his mind later and go in. He needs to consider carefully and make sure this is what he wants or doesn't for that matter....Personally I don't think they should make it that easy...He took an oath already...in my view he should stick to that oath...however I personally would rather he not be there because there are plenty of young men wanting to do the job and who will do it better than someone who won't stick to their word...

Yes he can change his mind before he goes back to MEPS to leave for Basic because that is what I did. I went to MEPS did all that stuff raised my right hand did the swear in and had my ship date to Basic. 3 weeks before I was supposed to go to basic I called the recruiting office and told them I didn't want to go. No questions ask no nothing...
I fhe changes his mind before he goes back up there to leave it is fine..Nothing bad against him.

did he have a change of heart or was his overprotecting family or friends trying to talk him out of it. In either event we are only talking about the guard not active duty, he will be back in no time! and will be a better person for facing his fears and insecurities. not running from them.

If this 18 year old "boy" wants to get out of having to serve after making a commitment, I am not sure that I would want him in my foxhole protecting my back.

He'll get a less than honorable discharge, which will be stuck with him for life. But I agree with the guy above me. Your son should stick to his commitments.
