I was in the military, as long as you don't take the oath for a second time, there is nothing they can do. They is trying to bully and scare you into signing your last papers, as long as you don't sign anything else, there is nothing they can do. My recuiter lied to me also and I demanded the things that was told to me, but I never got them. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. Just don't sign anymore paperwork.

You signed up for military obligation - you have already joined. Have you taken money from the Guard? If so you you are totally screwed. If you don't go to drills and training you can be prosecuted in the military justice system. You will not be given jail time no matter what anybody says, but instead probably be given a less than honorable discharge and that will be a stigma you will have the rest of your life. Way to go you loser!

You signed up, this is why i reccommend kids in high school to wait until theyr out to make important decisions. I think you can back out of it untill you actually on the plane to boot camp though is what I hear, although they willt ell you you are legally binded by the contract. Threaten to get a lawyer if they wont let you quit, but you need to go talk to them don't run itll just make things harder.
Or...
you could do the american thing and follow the old phrase "You made your bed now lie in it!" because you signed those papers so get out there and fight.

If you signed on the dotted line you have two choices; go to college while in the National Guard or go to jail.

If you miss your drill dates, you will be considered AWOL and they will make direct contact with you. If you are not wanting to do this then contact your congressperson and see if he/she can give you advice and direction. However, if you signed up for the National Guard then you should honor the Guard with your presence. Unless you are not "fit" to serve, you are going to have to do your time. Welcome to the team!

You might take this as a learning experience. When you commit to something and then do not hold up your end of the deal there are consequences. You are going to feel them soon. If you truly do not want to do this you need to seek legal counsel that specializes in military matters.

You're already enlisted, silly rabbit. It's too late to back out of it. Now go and do what you agreed (and swore an oath) to do: serve your country.
Kids...

I'm sorry, but if you signed up, you have to do your time, or face jail.
