Tell him to stop being a fricken' p*ussy. As for getting discharged about his only option is to shoot for a dishonorable one, but that's worse then having a felony on your record. He might as well become a murderer because he will be shunned worse then a murderer.
So he joins the NG, meets you and now wants out because he and you want to be together. Not very noble or honorable at all.
So he has until 2008 until he's deployed why don't you two enjoy your time together until then. And if he has this bug up his butt to bad it will get him killed in Iraq.
DISTRACTED SOLDIERS GET KILLED!!!!!
You need to be supportive and let him know how proud you are of him for honoring his country, don't belittle him. It will be hard when he's gone, but you'll get through it, and don't get married just because he "might" get killed in Iraq. Only get married if you really truly love him.
He signed up for this he needs to step up and suck it up.

Oh, poor baby! He's getting a little now so he doesn't want to follow through on his commitment so you and he can live happily ever after. As long as he was able wear that spiffy new uniform around and brag that he was in the Army, all was fine, but now that it looks like he'll have to man up and actually go play in the big sandbox, he's turning tail and crying mama.
NEWS FLASH! You're both morons!
I sincerely hope the gutless wonder gets a Dishonorable Discharge. That'll insure a little jail time, a lifetime of working at McDonald's (if they'll have him) and having to settle for an airheaded wife that will probably produce equally moronic offspring.

HA HA HA HA are you for real???? If he's already p*ssing and moaning about it, how is going to be when he gets there?
Jinxster had it right when he said "distracted soldiers get killed" so true so true
I LOVED all the responses so far. I don't think I've laughed this hard in along time.
Consul of Rome - dude best answer ever!!!!!
You two should be publicly stoned for dishonoring your country. What a real work of art you two must be. And I thought you two were supposed to get married in Aug, what happened? Did you end up being pregnant and if you were did you end up aborting the fetus because of your anorexia and couldn't stand the fact of being fat or being so scared Greg would leave you if you were pregnant. And Greg calling you a pig.
And did you ever find that guy you were looking for that you liked so much. The one while you were going out with Greg and looking for?? How'd that work out?
There isn't much more I can add to any of what has been said. Because the blasting “Greg” got he deserved. Did he put the war games down and start paying more attention to you yet???
Honey, you said it best when you said, "Please help we are desperate" I would say that's a HUGE understatement.
PS: Don't think the Army will let him off by just giving him a DD. It cost the Army A LOT of money to train him and he'll have to either pay it back or do something else for Uncle Sam to repay the debt. So even if he gets DD Uncle Sam still owns him. And they will bill him for everything. You're talking thousands and thousands of dollars here.

Listen now that you two are happiliy married, why would you throw away your life just to get out of the National Guard? Why wouldn't you just finish your obligation of which is, at most, 6 years. Trust me, if you did something stupid to get out of the National Guard, you will regret it for the rest of your life; or better yet, the rest of both of yalls life. Take alook at the long run. I realize that times will be tuff during deployments. I know so many soldiers that made it back are appreciate life more when they come back.
I would have to say is support him and spend alot of time with him.

OK, let me understand this he joined up of his own free will and now that he may have to fight for his country you want to aid him in being taking the cowards way out, not to mention try getting a good job with a Dishonorable discharge on your record....He needs to honor his commitment, just think about it if he won't honor his commitment to the Military what will he do if you two decide to get married someday? He needs to shut and deploy with his unit, if you love him wait for him to come home with honor...Navy wife and mother of three Navy Chief's

HAHAHA..oh wait..you're serious?! Your BF joined the guard and is now complaining about having to deploy...whatever! Did he not think about that when he joined..did he think he was "playing" military? There is nothing he can do to get discharged..anything he tried to pull to get out would cause him to be dishonorably discharged and that would make it very hard for him to ever be employed again. Tell him to suck it up. This is the military life..we all deploy.

Having a dishonorable discharge on one's record is the same as having a felony. I don't think you've thought this out very well. You would have to be pretty desperate to do this, it will haunt him for the rest of his life, long after you've dumped him.
But that's the great thing about being young, the here and now is more important than long-term (life-long) consequences and trading 14 months of greater comfort seems like a good deal even though it may mean 60 years of paying for it.

No matter how desperate you are, you do not want your boyfriend to get a dishonorable discharge. If you truely want to be together, then you will endure the hardship until his time in service is finished.

He signed a contact, if he can't keep a commitment to something he HAS to do now, or do jail-time for doing something stupid to get discharged, what honestly makes you think he'll keep a commitment to you? He needs to suck it up and finish his contract. And you both need to grow up, and realize that this isn't a job at Mcdonald's that he can just up and quit. He needs to be a man. He won't be the first person to get sent to Iraq or the last. He knew when he signed those papers, that there was a chance for him to be shipped off, and let me guess, now that you two are together, he has a reason to stay!!!! Your both selfish

You can run to Canada like all the cowardly traitors before you have done. I'm sure they would love to have you up there. Or you can pull your heads out of your @$$ and do what you signed up to do. I have been to Iraq twice and I would not trade it for the world. Greatest military experience in my life even though I have lost a few friends.
